Needle point
You’re not alone if a happy snap taken from a bad angle has sent you spiralling. “The jawline is one of the areas patients most often want to have addressed,” says cosmetic dermatologist Dr Naomi McCullum. “It’s quite individualised, but a lot of women complain about how they look from the side or that they have a square jawline.” And while social media has fuelled unrealistic
aesthetic standards, “women are also far more sophisticated now in their understanding of the new treatments we now have for age-old problems”, says Dr McCullum. In-office cosmetic
dermatologists often combine treatments for subtle, natural-looking results – fat-dissolving injections (called Belkyra) can treat double chins, fillers and bio-stimulators (Retylane Lyft and Radiesse, respectively) can replace volume loss, and muscles can be relaxed with Botox to stop the etching
in of lines over time due to contractions.
