Delivering Aesthetics with Dr Oli Curwen
Injectable treatments are a quick and easy alternative to more invasive surgery to adjust your facial aesthetics to better match your gender. But, as you’ll learn in this episode of The Joy Tuck Club, there are aspects to injectables that also make them first-class participants in any gender-affirming care plan. They can, in some cases, replace FFS, or at least make a very good start at refining your features, but in most others they might also be a necessary complement, acting as the fine brush strokes needed to complete your transformation.
As you’ll hear from Dr Oli Curwen, a very popular practitioner in the community, there are some things to be wary of, including the credentials of the person wielding the pointy bit. But the big one, if you’re needle-phobic, is that you can actually get through this if your practitioner is willing to include some helpful techniques.
We love learning from all the amazing people involved in gender affirming care that we get to interview, and this episode, in particular, is packed with not just a lot of that, but also big lovely heaps of very obvious care.
So have a listen and take the plunger, errr, plunge, into this episode. We promise you won’t end up with trout pout.
If you are within reach of London, you can nab a consult with Dr Oli via his website at https://www.droli.co.uk/.
