Summary

We are a society of quick-fixes. It seems that there are certain fixes that women do to themselves that are entirely acceptable (hair dye, false eyelashes, hair extensions, cosmetic tattoos), yet others are so taboo that if you admit you’ve done them, be ready for the judgy eye rolls and insults. I recently posted something on my Instagram about a procedure I had done to stimulate my natural collagen production around one side of my glutes. (You would have thought I announced a criminal act.) I have spent the last 5 years strategically building my body. Six weeks ago, I got 10 tiny threads in my butt, and the internet went ballistic because apparently, my body is now “unattainable” and “unrealistic” (I literally had one little line softened under my butt). I’ve been told I’m a sellout, a liar, and overly-obsessed with my looks. I’ve lost followers, and people have not filtered their disappointment in me. But I’ve also had many wonderful messages thanking me for being so transparent about the work I get done. If a woman wants to enhance her looks to give her more confidence, why is this such a shame in our society? I’ve never understood this. Women deserve to feel beautiful at all stages of their lives, so why do people lose their bloody minds over cosmetic work? In this episode, I interviewed my personal aesthetic nurse, Lisa Waring, from Face Therapy NI here in Belfast. She’s absolutely incredible and so knowledgeable. She dishes all the details about these procedures that everyone should know. You will learn: Why you should ALWAYS go to a medical practitioner for your cosmetic procedures The worst horror story of Lisa’s career The one thing Lisa wishes she would’ve known when she first started What botox really is and how it works in the body (hint: this does not change regardless of where you go for it) A shocking fact about cosmetic filler that most people probably don’t know What body part Lisa thinks clients should treat first She also gives fantastic advice for women who may be scared or worried about backlash if they ever admitted they had these procedures done. You don’t want to miss this one! Happy listening!

0:00.0	Well, hey there, welcome to the Kim Constable podcast.
0:10.8	Nobody cares. Work harder.
0:13.8	Who or what or whatever are we going to talk about this week?
0:17.2	Well, I have a very special guest for you this week. We've done a lot of
0:22.4	interviews recently, but I really have been enjoying doing the interviews rather than just listening
0:25.9	to me waffling on for 60 minutes in your ear. But this week I am interviewing my personal
0:32.5	practitioner, cosmetic practitioner, the lovely Lisa Waring, who is the owner, the co-owner with her wife, Jerry, of face therapy N.I. Now, many of you who follow me on Instagram will see me tagging face therapy many, many times. And once you listen to this interview with Lisa, you're going to understand why. Because Lisa truly is a soul sister. I mean, she is,
0:57.6	if there, but the minute I met her, I was just blown away by her. I was like, this woman,
1:03.2	you know whenever you just meet someone and you just gravitate towards them. And the minute I
1:07.6	met her, I loved her. She not only is one of the most skilled people I've ever met
1:14.5	in my entire life, her attention to detail is second to none. But apart from how beautiful she is,
1:22.1	and she is beautiful, and how skilled she is, and how wonderful she is, and how wonderful she is, and how wonderful she is, and how lovely she is and how wonderful she is and how lovely she is and how intelligent
1:31.0	she is. She is also genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever met. I have never heard her
1:38.4	say a bad word about anybody, her wife, Jerry and her and their beautiful little daughter, Abney.
1:43.9	Honestly, they are, she and Jerry and their beautiful little daughter Abney, honestly, they are,
1:45.5	she and Jerry are just truly, they are couples' goals. They really are couples' goals. They're just
1:50.5	wonderful people. And I can't wait to share this interview with you because I truly, truly
1:55.3	love Lisa so much. But apart from anything else, Lisa has completely transformed my face. She's going to say my body, but not really my body. Actually, the only thing that Lisa's ever done is put some cosmetic threads or what are they called monothreads in a crease underneath my left butt sheet, which I didn't really like very much, to stimulate collagen in the area and to improve the appearance of the skin.
2:21.1	And the reason I want to happily see on today is because every time I post about my cosmetic procedures on Instagram, I, of course, I get people who say, Kim, love your transparency,
2:26.0	love how, you know, how honest you are, blah, blah, blah.
2:29.0	But then you get people here like, that's it.
2:31.5	You're a sellout.
