Which beauty treatments would you not recommend recommend or can be dangerous?

There are always trends on social media that should be critically scrutinised because of their long-term consequences. Buccal fat removal is a procedure that cannot be reversed. The fat pads in the cheeks are removed to make the face appear slimmer. With age, however, the face naturally loses volume and can appear hollow and sunken over the years.

It is similar with "cat eye surgery", which pulls the eyes upwards for a "feline" look and is trendy among stars. However, lifting the area can later lead to over-tightened facial expressions. It can also lead to uneven results, nerve damage and scars.
