Please excuse my over excitement

Please excuse all of my non aesthetic tweets of late. I'm so excited to watch my brother fight. Not that it's that exciting usually, only when he wins with a 10 second knock out....phew (He has a bit of a reputation for these). Holding my breath for that long was fine! If you want to watch him on you tube you can see haw fantastic he is. Of course, he has had filler in the past. Many moons ago I might add, in his forehead. What was I thinking?! This was when I first started in aesthetics and thought we had to eradicate my Dad's hereditary forehead line. Botulinum Toxin A of course should have been the way forward as a first choice, but noooo I just wanted to practice (Oh Dear!). We all have to start somewhere. Shhh, don't tell him I told you!

Cage fighters also seek advice in aesthetics

The aesthetic industry continues to grow at a rapid rate as more and more people realise the benefits of cosmetic enhancement. Sportsmen and women who take part in activities that can cause damage and disfigurement to their faces, are turning to the corrective procedures offered by practitioners today. In particular, cage fighters are opting for the more aesthetic methods in facial repair. The very nature of cage fighting and mixed martial arts (MMA), which allows minimal protective padding on the gloves, entails that fighters’ faces are more susceptible to physical damage and thus require restoration.

Professional cage fighter, Tim Newman, is testament to this new trend. On deforming his cheekbone during one of his fights last year, Tim was fortunate enough that his sister, aesthetic practitioner Chantalle Coombes, trainer at Aesthetic Academy+ was on hand to advise him on what to do. Although at first glance he appeared to have hollowing in his cheek, a fantastic case for cheek augmentation, on thorough examination it transposed that he had infact broken the bone, Chantalle was able to instruct him to seek surgical repair instead. When scarring occurs, non-injectable practices, such as dermal fillers and the dermal roller, can serve to naturally aid marking and restore face shape to its former glory.

If anyone can help to defy the supposed emasculating preconceptions associated with aesthetics, then it would most definitely be fighters!
