Dr Harris has been known to turn people away — particularly young people — for wrinkle injections. “A lot of people are determined to get [preventative Botox] even though I point out to them that there is no convincing evidence that Botox acts preventatively.” People often go elsewhere for the treatment but Dr Harris says that may not be the best idea. “I know this happens, especially with fillers. When I won’t treat someone, they will go somewhere else and often they return with botched lips for me to dissolve.” When it comes to wrinkle injections, it’s not uncommon for practitioners to go too far and give clients a frozen look.”My preference is for a more natural appearance,” says Dr Harris, who tends not to use big doses of any injectables, whether that’s Botox or filler. “The doses I use are very conservative, generally, because more people want natural results. If someone comes to me and wants to look exaggerated in any sense, I will have a chat with them and try to educate them. But I certainly wouldn’t treat them.”
