Nicole also happens to be a Male-to-Female transgender icon.At 39 and fully transitioned,Nicole is one of the most beautiful people I know – both inside and out.In this issue, Nicole talks to me about her reasons for choosing aesthetic treatments to accentuate her feminine looks. I met Nicole for the first time 4 years ago when she visited our clinic for advice on how to maintain a fresh, youthful look; she wanted to explore ways to subtly enhance her feminine appearance. Her initial goal was to add a little volume to her lips,which she believed had thinned slightly with age. One of the many benefits of non-surgical aesthetic treatments,or“tweakments”as we like to call them,is that they can gently redefine a person’s facial features or body shape without surgery. During her initial consultation, Nicole was taken aback when she learned of all the available alternatives to cosmetic surgery. Nowadays, aesthetic doctors have at their disposal innovative technologies which can achieve very impressive results in a minimally invasive way and with very little downtime - as opposed to surgical alternatives,which are often more expensive and invasive, and present a higher risk of complications. One such innovation is the BOCA One-Thread Lip Lift, introducedtotheUKbyDrIoannisLiakasatVieAesthetics. This non-surgical procedure is great news for people looking for a non-surgical lip lift. In one session and with results lasting for up to 2 years,the BOCA Lift,which is also called the“Happy Lift”,helps to accentuate the lips.What Nicole loves about her BOCA Lift particularly, is that it also achieves a feminising effect of the face. This is done by reducingthelengthofthe“philtrum”–thedistancebetween lip and nose.In the past this could only be achieved through surgery. The possibilities for achieving masculinization and feminization are vast within non-surgical aesthetics, both for men and women. Our aesthetic practitioners often expertly combine different treatments including threads, HIFU, radiofrequency and fillers, in order to achieve tailoredresults;forexample,strengtheningaclient’sjawline orcheeks,meltingstubbornpocketsoffat,orusinginjections to tone and accentuate their buttocks and hips.
