Here are some red flags never to ignore when choosing your aesthetic doctor:
- Looking over-filled and unnatural themselves. This doctor may have “perception drift” and has lost sight of normal anatomy.
- Working from non-medical facilities such as a hotel room, hair or beauty salon or kitchen.
- Using counterfeit, unregulated or unlicensed products.
- Hosting “B-tox parties” or offering champagne with your injectables.
- Advertising discounts and specials on injectable products.
- Prices that are too good to be true. This doctor may be sourcing counterfeit products through unregulated channels or over-diluting botulinum toxin.
- Offering dangerous procedures like Brazilian Butt Lifts that should only be performed by specialist surgeons
- A visiting doctor from overseas performing e.g. Russian Lips. This doctor may not be registered with the HPCSA and is injecting illegally.
