The celebrities ditching the ‘overdone’ aesthetics look

Beauty trends come and go. For a long time plump lips, full cheeks, a strong jawline and contoured features were top of many people’s wish-lists, and there are plenty of examples of celebrities who turned to aesthetic treatments such as fillers to achieve this look. There are also plenty of examples of celebrities who, by their own admission, took things too far, and ended up feeling unhappy about their fake, ‘overdone’ looking results. Read on as the aesthetics experts at YourGP give their perspective on the celebrities trying to roll back time by openly toning down their aesthetic treatments.

Famous faces

Friends star Courtney Cox famously said in a magazine interview in 2017 that she had taken the decision to have her facial fillers dissolved because she believed she had gone too far. More recently, Sex and the City actress, Kristin Davis, also admitted in a newspaper feature she had been unhappy with her unnatural looking facial enhancements and had decided to have them removed. Both celebrities have been praised for their openness and honesty about a topic that many celebrities would rather keep under wraps.

Getting the balance right

Whilst Courtney Cox and Kristin Davis might claim to have gone from one extreme to the other – from having lots of filler to having it all removed – the important thing to remember is that it’s all about balance. Aesthetic treatments such as fillers can have a remarkably positive effect in terms of smoothing wrinkles and adding volume and definition, if they are strategically placed in minimal quantities. They can also have a fantastic effect when used to enhance a person’s natural features and add harmony to a person’s face. The results of an aesthetic treatment are less successful when they are used in an attempt to radically alter a person’s appearance.

Understanding this important distinction is what makes the aesthetics experts at YourGP stand out. We start every aesthetics treatment with a full and thorough consultation to understand our patient’s area of concern. We then provide treatment recommendations based on what we believe will give that individual patient the best results – which for us is always a careful balance between meeting the patient’s expectations and addressing their concerns, whilst at the same time looking natural and never ‘overdone’. And this is the reason so many people trust the aesthetics experts at YourGP.

Of course, there are many people who love the exaggerated look and believe that bigger is better when it comes to lip fillers, for example. But for those looking for a more subtle, natural looking effect, YourGP is the go-to aesthetics destination.
