Bad results in aesthetic medicine: cat face and duck lips

Some women, after a facial treatment, end up with “cat face and duck lips”; first of all, we need to distinguish which procedure was performed and whether the product was the right one to correct the defect the person had.

Why do cat face and duck lips happen?

The two most common procedures are: injecting a facial filler, a product that goes inside the skin and eliminates the furrows. The problem with this is that when the lip, in trying to remove these lines, does not look right, it means the procedure was wrongly indicated.

In these cases, what should be done is a peel, removing the superficial layers of the skin and generating a deep stimulus in it that will regenerate it; more collagen will form at the base, which will give it more elasticity and reduce the superficial and most noticeable wrinkles.

Fat grafting or another filler material can even be added to that and, if there is a truly deep wrinkle or furrow, it can be filled with botox. The problem with these lips is that they have been overfilled with product.

Another bad result is when faces take on a “cat” look. That has to do with the way botox is applied.

The right thing to do is to inject it according to what the patient needs, that is the point. The treatment must be carried out according to the characteristics and requirements of each person.

How can these bad results be avoided?

Thanks to these bad results we can easily see how important it is to go to a professional who is trained and qualified and whose accreditations come from the relevant scientific societies.

On the other hand, you should ask which products are going to be applied and request the certificate or card that comes in the product box, as well as how much was applied and to which areas of the face.

Oh! And if you are going to have botox, insist on asking about the details, since there are different brands and different ways of applying it depending on the amount.
