The rise of the 'alien' face: Cosmetic surgeon says patients now look more 'distorted' as they chase unrealistic Instagram beauty standards - and slams unscrupulous colleagues for pumping them full of filler
The surgeon also shared a chart to describe specific distortions which can lead to an 'alienised' face and avoid overfilling your face
Cosmetic doctor Steven Harris runs the Harris Clinic, Crouch End, north London
Says that patients are appearing 'alienised' because of poor filler treatments
Slammed practitioners who 'lack awareness' due to 'perception shift' in society
He shared chart to help identify poorly placed filler or overfilling on Instagram
A cosmetic surgeon has warned against increasing numbers of patients becoming 'alienised' due to 'distorted' beauty standards promoted on social media.
Dr Steven Harris, who runs the Harris Clinic in Crouch End, north London, says that a warped appearance after poor filler treatment has become the 'new normal', and that the trend could cause 'physical and psychological harm'.
He said there is currently a 'live and let live' attitude amongst practitioners, but that cosmetic doctors have 'a duty of care to first do no harm' and that the 'more is more' approach is an 'epidemic'.
