Frequently Asked Questions
Every face is different. Dr. Nivine's approach begins with understanding your features, proportions, skin quality and goals before recommending what, if anything, should be treated.
1. What makes Dr. Nivine's approach to aesthetic medicine different?
Dr. Nivine approaches aesthetic treatment as facial refinement rather than simply performing individual procedures.
She considers facial proportions, movement, skin quality, age-related changes and the relationship between different features before creating a treatment plan.
The objective is not to make you look "treated." It is to help you look refreshed, balanced and naturally yourself.
2. How do I know which treatment is right for my face?
You do not need to arrive knowing which treatment you need.
During consultation, Dr. Nivine assesses your facial anatomy, proportions, skin quality, areas of volume change and the way your face moves.
She may recommend a single treatment, a staged combination approach, or sometimes advise against treating an area if it is unlikely to improve your overall appearance.
3. Can I improve my appearance without changing the way I look?
Yes. In many cases, subtle changes can create the greatest improvement.
Dr. Nivine focuses on preserving facial identity while refining areas that may appear tired, unbalanced or less defined.
The goal is for people to notice that you look well, not necessarily know that you have had an aesthetic treatment.
4. How does Dr. Nivine create natural-looking lip filler results?
Lip enhancement begins with the individual anatomy of the lips.
Dr. Nivine considers lip shape, projection, height, symmetry, facial proportions and the relationship between the upper and lower lip before deciding whether volume, definition, hydration or structural refinement is appropriate.
The aim is elegant lips that belong naturally to your face.
5. Can lip filler improve shape without making my lips much bigger?
Absolutely.
Lip treatment does not always mean adding significant volume.
Depending on your anatomy, filler may be used to refine the lip border, improve symmetry, enhance the cupid's bow, support proportion or create a more polished shape while keeping the result subtle.
6. Can Dr. Nivine help if my previous filler looks unnatural or overdone?
Yes, depending on the individual case.
Previous filler may first need to be carefully assessed for placement, migration, proportion and tissue condition.
In some situations, correction may involve dissolving existing filler before creating a new treatment plan rather than simply adding more product.
7. What is facial balancing?
Facial balancing is a personalised approach that evaluates how different features work together rather than treating one area in isolation.
Small adjustments to areas such as the lips, chin, cheeks, jawline or profile may sometimes create better overall harmony than placing a large amount of filler into one feature.
The treatment plan is determined by your individual anatomy.
8. What is the difference between fillers, Botox and biostimulatory treatments?
Each treatment serves a different purpose.
Dermal fillers can restore or refine shape, proportion and structural support. Botulinum toxin treatments can soften selected muscle activity and dynamic expression lines.
Biostimulatory and regenerative aesthetic treatments are generally selected when the priority is improving aspects of skin quality, firmness and collagen support rather than simply adding volume.
Dr. Nivine may combine different approaches when clinically appropriate.
9. Do I need filler, or would a skin-quality treatment be better?
Not every concern should be treated with filler.
If the main issue is skin texture, hydration, laxity or overall skin quality, treatments such as skin boosters, polynucleotides, biostimulatory injectables or energy-based technologies may sometimes be more appropriate.
The treatment should address the cause of the concern, not simply add volume.
10. Can I achieve facial rejuvenation without surgery?
For appropriately selected patients, non-surgical treatments can improve several visible signs of facial ageing.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, a plan may include injectables, collagen-stimulating treatments, skin-quality treatments or technologies such as Ultraformer.
However, non-surgical treatment has limitations. Dr. Nivine will explain when a non-surgical approach is appropriate and when it may not achieve the result you are seeking.
11. Can several treatments be combined in one personalised plan?
Yes.
High-quality aesthetic outcomes often come from treating different concerns with different modalities rather than relying on one procedure.
For example, a plan may address facial proportions, skin quality, muscle activity and tissue support separately.
Dr. Nivine designs combination plans according to what your face actually requires rather than following a standard package.
12. How much filler will I need?
There is no standard amount that is appropriate for everyone.
The quantity depends on your anatomy, treatment area, existing volume, proportions, desired outcome and whether treatment is being performed in one session or gradually.
Dr. Nivine's philosophy is based on using what is necessary to achieve refinement, not using more product simply for the sake of volume.
13. Will I still look like myself after treatment?
That is one of the central objectives of Dr. Nivine's approach.
Aesthetic treatment should respect your expressions, proportions and individual character.
The aim is refinement without erasing the features that make your face recognisably yours.
14. What happens during my first consultation with Dr. Nivine?
Your consultation begins with a detailed assessment rather than an immediate treatment recommendation.
Dr. Nivine discusses what concerns you, evaluates your facial structure and skin, and explains which options may realistically improve the areas you would like to address.
You will receive a personalised recommendation based on your priorities, anatomy and desired level of change.
15. How do I start if I want a complete aesthetic plan rather than one treatment?
Book a consultation and explain the overall result you would like to achieve rather than choosing procedures yourself.
Dr. Nivine can assess your face as a whole and create a personalised plan prioritising the treatments that are likely to make the greatest difference.
Your plan may be completed in one stage or gradually over time, depending on your goals, anatomy and treatment priorities.
Your face. Your proportions. Your plan.
