About to book a lip filler appointment? Read this first
Getting a dermal lip filler, lifting cheekbones, Botox, and other kinds of 'tweakments' is as common as getting a new haircut these days. The stigma around these procedures is slowly but steadily reducing. In the bid to enhance facial aesthetics and smoothen wrinkles, sometimes, the procedure can also go wrong (which is nothing short of a nightmare). While the shine of a plumper lip can be alluring, before you get one of these invasive cosmetic procedures, you should keep a few things in Javed, the social media sensation who is known for her unapologetic lifestyle, recently shared about her filler experience. In a video showing her painfully swollen face, she revealed what really goes into getting them dissolved, and it's not as this was not her first botched procedure. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Uorfi (@urf7i) Her now-viral video has stirred up conversations around non-invasive beauty treatments - Is it just a bad reaction? Is it safe enough to risk? The concerns are real, and honestly, getting a lip filler, things first: fillers and Botox are not the same. These are two cosmetic procedures that are often used interchangeably, even though they serve very different a purified neurotoxin, acts by temporarily paralysing facial muscles, effectively smoothing out dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines. On the other hand, dermal fillers, often composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), are injected to reinstate lost volume, enhance lips, and fill in deeper lines or This is not it. There's more. If you are planning to book that appointment for fuller lips, here's what dermatologists say you need to keep in the process, trust the handsBefore injecting anything into the body, doing the homework is of great essence. Start by understanding the come in three types: temporary (HA-based), semi-permanent, and permanent. Dr. Viral Desai, cosmetic plastic and hair transplant surgeon and medical director at DHI India, explains the technicalities. He notes that HA fillers are cross-linked with a molecule called BDDE (Butanediol diglycidyl ether)."Plain hyaluronic acid will dissolve within a day and won't last. Cross-linking extends its life to anywhere between two to eight months," he strongly advises against permanent or semi-permanent fillers and recommends starting small. "Always begin with a minimal quantity, see if you're happy, and then top up gradually."Finding the right, trusted professional is just as important."Always go to a certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who knows how to appropriately administer the filler to the right tissue. The knowledge of your facial structure is critical, what works for one person might not suit your anatomy. Also, patients must understand that fillers are meant to enhance, not transform," says Dr. Khushboo Jha, chief dermatologist consultant at Metro Hospital and founder of One Skin Clinic, Desai echoes the warning: "If not placed correctly, fillers can cause lumps or, in rare cases, even lead to blindness. So yes, one has to be extremely careful. But when done right, they are safe and typically cause no harm."advertisementBut what if you fall out of love with the look, or worse, it somehow becomes a cosmetic nightmare?Dissolving fillersExperts say problems usually arise when people go overboard with fillers or use semi-permanent and permanent you can fix a filler job gone wrong. But it doesn't come without side effects. For Uorfi, it was misaligned lips, what started as a fix for laughlines ended in pain, swelling, and what looked like an allergic how does the dissolving process work?'Hyaluronidase, the dissolving enzyme, can sting or burn when injected. It may feel like a deep ache or sharp burn for a few seconds per injection,' says Dr. Garima Tyagi, dermatologist at SENS adds that there's no lidocaine (numbing agent) in hyaluronidase unless your injector mixes it if you're set on dissolving the filler, keep the following in mind:Get an allergy test first. Dr. Jha warns that hyaluronidase can cause rare allergic pain and bruising. Especially on lips, where the skin is thinner and more can take 24–72 hours to show, but full breakdown may take up to a week. Multiple sessions might be needed depending on the filler amount and how old it lumps may 2–4 weeks after dissolving before refilling to let swelling subside and tissues time and frequencyIf you are not satisfied with the filler or find any complications, you can dissolve it immediately. There is no fixed 'right time' to dissolve the filler. But is there a right time to get fillers done? Experts say yes."Generally, these procedures are not recommended below the age of 21."Dr. Desai explains that lips naturally lose volume as we age. Therefore, doing fillers at an older age may look good. But sometimes, young patients also have uneven lips or a less defined cupid's bow. In those cases, even at a young age, the fillers can be that mean you can do it as many times as you want? Not you keep doing it repeatedly, the trauma from the needle may cause some amount of hardening of the tissues called fibrosis. It is not very significant, though. "Generally, do not keep dissolving fillers repeatedly. If you are not sure, then don't do them in the first place," Dr Desai of this at what cost?Of course, all this comes with a hefty price for the cost, a session of HA-based lip fillers can range between Rs 18,000 to Rs 30,000. On the other hand, dissolving them using hyaluronidase may cost anywhere between Rs 6,000 to Rs 15,000. However, the cost may vary depending on the area treated and the number of sessions lineIt is a personal choice and there's no judgment around getting cosmetic procedures as long as you're informed and follow the right steps. The right product in the hands of the right doctor, experts say, rarely causes trouble."Celebrity influence affects an individual a lot, but the whole problem is that you should know what is too much, and you should stop," Dr Desai concludes.- EndsTrending Reel

‘Gave a hit with a super-duper flop actor Amitabh Bachchan': Javed Akhtar says he, Salim Khan had no work for 9 months after delivering 4 hits
Veteran screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar, long known for championing the rights of writers in the Indian film industry, recently spoke about the decades-long struggle for recognition and fair compensation. In a candid conversation with filmmaker and screenwriter Anu Singh Choudhary for JLF International, Javed reflected on the systemic challenges writers have faced and the ongoing need to fight for their due. 'You see, situations have never been ideal for people. They have fought for it,' he said. 'You know, when we came into the film industry, writers were never mentioned on posters or banners. They were very poorly paid. There was no credit, no money. We fought. One after another, we gave films which were very good, and then we fought.' He recounted the early years of his career with his writing partner Salim Khan, when the duo, known as Salim-Javed, changed the landscape of Hindi cinema. 'We said, 'No, these are our terms and conditions. If you cannot pay us that much, if you cannot accept our terms and conditions, we will not work.' We fought. Maybe it is not very easy for everybody to fight the way we did, but at least, as a group, as a whole community of writers, you can stand up and say, 'That much, and no more.' Nobody will give you anything on a platter. Nobody gave us anything on a platter. We fought for it.' Reflecting on his breakthrough years, Akhtar recalled, 'You know, our first film was Andaz. Second was Haathi Mere Saathi. Third was Seeta Aur Geeta. Fourth was Zanjeer, a super-duper hit film with a super-duper flop actor. Yes. We decided that now, enough is enough. We had given four hits in a row.' He elaborated on how they took a risk by casting Amitabh Bachchan, then considered an unlucky actor, as the lead in Zanjeer, a film that went on to become a blockbuster and redefine Bachchan's career. 'Zanjeer was a major hit. He gave a great performance. But he always gave great performances, even in those films which didn't run. He was good. That's why we took him. We were not even liking him. We could see that he was a volcano of talent, just not getting good scripts.' Also Read | Javed Akhtar recalls Yash Chopra, 'messiah of the poor' Mahesh Bhatt opposing Copyright Act aimed at ending exploitation of creatives; says producers boycotted him Despite their success, getting paid what they deserved was still an uphill battle. 'So we decided that we will take X amount. I remember the amount. But I also remember, in the subject department… After four hit films, for nine months we could not sign a single film, because nobody was willing to pay. They would laugh in my face. 'Kitna bola?'' He recalled the financial strain during that period: 'I had bought a second-hand Ambassador for ₹13,000. That was sold again, because there was no work. But after nine months, we took that price. Again, we decided on a price. And we fought to get it. So, nothing comes easily. Don't complain. Situations have never been ideal for anybody.' Javed emphasized the need for collective action among writers, urging those in a position of influence to stand up for industry-wide change. 'If a few people think that something is wrong, ten of you, fifteen of you, stand up. You're a successful writer. You're not just anybody. You're successful. People like you. You will find some more people like you. Stand up. Say, 'We will not take this nonsense.' Some people will throw you out. That is for sure. Go through it. But if you think that someday all the filmmakers will stand up with a chained heart and give you what you deserve, it will never happen.' During the 1970s, Salim-Javed wrote as many as 24 films, 22 of which were blockbusters. Their influence extended far beyond iconic dialogues and unforgettable characters. They were pioneers who demanded better terms, challenged the status quo, and helped lay the groundwork for future generations of writers in Bollywood.
