Simple Cures to Get Rid of Bitchy Resting Face

by Andy Cheng Director

Anna Kendrick, an Oscar-nominated actress was often accused of not smiling enough by casting directors when she first started out. Casting directors often say things like - “Anna, can you smile more please? You don’t seem like you’re very happy.”

If the above is a situation you find familiar, you probably have a “resting bitch face”. There were studies to show that the phenomenon of owning a resting bitch face is very real. Neutral faces, especially when it is blank and expressionless, can often be interpreted as “unfriendly” to some people.

Aging is also a contributing factor for a resting bitch face. As we grow older, gravity pulls everything downwards, giving you a permanent sad-looking face with a frown hanging over your head.

If owning a "resting bitch face" is something you are concerned about, we are here to address your concerns and allay your fears. Dr. Siew Tuck Wah, Medical Director of Radium Medical Aesthetics shares with us some tips on how to put the smile back to your face.

Non-Surgical Facelift To Lift Sagging Facial Contour

Dr. Siew: When gravity pulls everything downwards, you will perpetually look sullen and unhappy. Defy gravity by opting for non-surgical face lift treatments such as Silhouette Soft Thread Lift or PDO Thread Lift. Using 100% bio-compatible threads, your doctor inserts fine threads lined with barbs to anchor loose skin and reposition them higher to where they once were. The doctor will administer local anaesthesia to certain areas on the face so that the treatment process is comfortable. After the 90-minute treatment, wrinkles and fine lines will be less visible, putting a smile permanently back on your face.

For the less adventurous, you can opt for a non-invasive treatment called Ultherapy or HIFU Skin Lifting. Both use high intensity focused ultrasound to stimulate the body to generate production of collagen by delivering consistent heat to the deep layers of the skin. Result is not as dramatic or visible as non-surgical thread lift. Gradual improvement of skin lifting and rejuvenation can be seen 3 months after treatment because it takes some time for the skin to produce collagen and elastin fibers.

Dermal Fillers and Botox for Facial Augmentation

Dr. Siew: When skin loses elasticity, deep folds and lines develop. With constant facial movements, it is not uncommon to see older people with deep wrinkles on their face. Deep lines and wrinkles often make one look unapproachable and unfriendly. Remove lines with dermal filler and botox to smooth out the lines.

Older people generally look sad because of the downward-turned lips. Downward-turned lips can be easily addressed with just one treatment of lip filler. You can immediately see improvement of your facial contours after the treatment and the results are natural, soft and beautiful.

Depending on the type of dermal fillers used by your doctor, it can last for up to a year or longer. Choosing a right aesthetic doctor to perform dermal filler treatment is important because it determines if it’s a job well done or a disaster where you end up with a pillow face.

Brighten Dull Skin to Look Happier
