If something goes wrong, they&#8217;re not going to be able to adequately manage the complication.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They&#8217;re far more likely to disappear if anything goes wrong.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;d never use Juvederm filler,&#8217; was his fourth warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/30\/15\/77177141-12688829-The_cosmetic_doctor_warned_viewers_against_Russian_lip_filler_be-a-30_1698678635988.jpg\" height=\"724\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The cosmetic doctor warned viewers against Russian lip filler because it can leave users looking &#8216;like a duck&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Juvederm is a type of dermal filler used to add volume in specific areas on the face, including cheeks and lips.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;In my experience, the filler gradually swells with time, so the initial result can become distorted.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Dr Devine issued a stark warning against using sunbeds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I would never use a sunbed. Sunbeds destroy your collagen with time, making your skin look wrinkly,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They are also a huge risk factor for cancer.
