But yeah, I mean, sometimes you can't do that.

And you have to be realistic with your patients about what you can achieve.

And sometimes they have unrealistic expectations about what you can achieve.

And that is all driven by Instagram and filters.

And I get all the time I see, you know, we're obsessed or we were obsessed a couple of years ago with tear troughs.

And they were looking at Vogue covers and covers of other magazines.

What they don't understand is those covers are airbrushed to within an inch of their life.

So if you actually look at the person in real life, they don't look like that.

And that is an unrealistic expectation for us to try and achieve with cosmetic treatments.

I think that in the old days, all we had was botulinum toxin and filler.

And so everything we saw was a nail and that's what we hit with our hammer.

But now we have this broad toolbox of products and medicines that we can use.

And I think people's aesthetic have shifted.

So filler has been overused and overused.

And we had this sort of distorted aesthetic of this really doughy looking face, this overfilled face that was just everywhere.

Yeah, puffy.

I think there are a number of celebrities that have gone back and just dissolved everything out of their face and started again.

And then what they've come back in is said, I don't want to look like that.

I don't want to look overfilled.

I don't want to look fake.
