It's the stuff of nightmares - you get a vascular occlusion, test your patient and find out that they're allergic to hyaluronidase!

As we discuss in this week's Aesthetic Mastery Show, you now have a very difficult decision to make. Do you proceed with the hyaluronidase reversal and risk anaphylaxis, or do you stand by and wait for the inevitable skin necrosis?

Some clinicians have developed a high-risk workaround strategy for this eventuality, but Dr Tim explains why it is not something he would recommend.

Indeed, before you even get to that stage, you first have to diagnose allergy to hyaluronidase which, as Dr Tim explains, is not as simple as doing an intradermal test.

Vascular occlusion is every clinician's worst nightmare. But are you familiar with the differences between arterial and venous occlusion?

In this week's Aesthetics Mastery Show, Dr Tim dives into how to avoid, diagnose and treat venous occlusion, including discussing the probability that dermal filler could cause a pulmonary embolism, or even blindness due to a venous thrombosis.

Let us know in the comments in you've ever experienced a venous occlusion from dermal filler.

Inexperienced practitioners sometimes chase the nasolabial folds, and patients can end up looking odd if their cheek volume loss is not also addressed.

Having said that, there is still a place for this important 'hinge treatment' as part of a holistic approach.

In this week's Aesthetic Mastery Show, Dr Tim discusses whether or not we should treat cheeks if the patient complains about their nasolabial folds; how to decide when it's appropriate; and the difference between men and women when tackling these areas.

We also dig into male cheek treatments; how to avoid feminising; why you must not give men luscious, full cheeks; and how to explain to the patient that you won't be feminising his cheeks.

It's one of the questions every aesthetic clinician dreads: "How much for 1ml?"

As we discuss in this week's Aesthetics Mastery Show, the reason this question stings is because it feels like you're being reduced to a commodity, instead of the complex and valuable clinician you know you are.

Dr Tim explains that patients do absolutely care about more than just cost, and guides aesthetic practitioners to understand how you can better communicate your worth.

We surveyed 1,856 clinicians in 33 countries and found that 73% had seen a rise in the number of patients complaining that their toxin has not lasted well post-Covid lockdown.

On the aesthetics forums, clinicians have been speculating about dodgy batches; stronger muscles post-lockdown; and even if Covid itself has had a part to play in poor toxin longevity.

In this week's Aesthetics Mastery Show, we dig into the important question: what factors really impact toxin longevity - Covid or no Covid - and what can we as clinicians do to improve the variables we do have control over?

Lip filler migration is such a disheartening problem for any clinician worth their salt.

You inject your patient's lips perfectly on the day, and then watch as your beautiful creations morph into a new shape over time as the filler crosses the vermillion border.

In the second half of this week's Aesthetics Mastery Show, Dr Tim gives us practical tips to prevent lip filler migration, for example, tweaked injection technique (2mm makes all the difference!), and product choice.

And in the first half of the show, we dive into the different 'mental models' of lip anatomy that help us draw these conclusions about why lip filler migration is happening in the first place.

Let us know in the comments if this show helps you defend the borders!

It’s so easy to see colleagues using the latest trendy lip technique and believe it is the answer to all your lip problems.

The truth is that one technique does not fit all patient, or even one lip! The real secret to lip mastery is building a combination treatment around the individual patient.

As Dr Tim explains in this week's episode of the Aesthetics Mastery Show, this process should happen in 4 sequential stages. If you follow Dr Tim's 4 step lip design blueprint, you take the guess-work out of creating lips your patients love, and make you the expert in their eyes.

Although we all accept that causing a bruise from dermal filler or Botox injections is high on the list of possible side effects, it's still a heart-sink moment when you're merrily injecting away and you suddenly spot a shiner appearing.

In today's Aesthetics Mastery Show, Dr Tim shares 16 simple steps you can take to prevent bruises occurring in the first place, as well as how to minimise their size once the worst has already happened.

We also discuss how to explain bruising and aftercare to your patients so that they leave your clinic with the relationship intact.

What is the best way to diagnose a complication?

As we discover in this week's Aesthetics Mastery show, there is a 7-step process that will not only equip you to better diagnose complications independently but also enable you to ask great questions on clinical forums when you need additional help.

Dr Tim explains that, when you implement this 7-step process, you will be able to present a short but impactful case to colleagues on aesthetic Facebook groups that will get you the advice you need quickly, plus fast-track your learning process.

...Oh and you'll get some serious respect from your colleagues for laying the question out in a way that shows your advanced diagnostic skills.
