Sometimes makeup just isn’t quite enough — particularly when you’re a world-famous celebrity who’s expected to look a certain way in front of the cameras.
But there’s an alternative for those who don’t want to go under the knife: “tweakments”.
The word is used to describe subtle, barely noticeable cosmetic procedures; in plain speak, anything that is more involved than makeup, but less invasive than surgery.
That means Botox is a “tweakment”; so too are lip injections, chemical peels and fillers. But these procedures are old news — some of the tweakments available are mind-blowing.
And, according to plastic surgeon Dr. Jeremy Hunt, celebrities are loving them. Dr Hunt appeared on Today Extra to talk through some of the options they’re using.
1. Fat-dissolving injections
Nothing draws attention away from a soft chin faster than a scarf — alas, celebrities can’t exactly wear scarves on the red carpet.
However, there’s a product called Kybella that’s on it’s way to Australia, which Laser Medical describes as being able to dissolve fat via a simple injection. Not only can Kybella dissolve chin fat, it’s can also address back fat, bra overhang and saggy hips.
2. Spray tan contouring
No time to exercise your abs into a six-pack? No problem. Now spray tans can be used to contour your body, shading away trouble spots and painting on six-packs. You can also contour your arms, neck, chest and legs. Tricky.
