Previously, Chef Ramsey has always stated that it was his good friend music mogul Simon Cowell who persuaded him to do something about the deep wrinkles that lined his face. However Ramsey has now admitted that teasing from his children was the real motivating factor.

“I’ve got four children, and they’ve become ‘Dad, why have you got so many wrinkles on your face when Clementine’s daddy has no wrinkles?’”, Ramsey explained to newspaper the Daily Mail.

“The lines were pretty horrific, like Scarface, and I was never embarrassed by it but my children helped me become more paranoid about it.” According to Ramsey, he even woke up one morning to find his daughter trying to squeeze pound coins into some of his wrinkles.

“You’ve seen the articles,” he continued. “Craggy face, map of Wales, ugly, deflated rugby ball. There’s only so much s*** you want to take. I woke up in the morning and Matilda was trying to squeeze pound coins in there.’

“In LA it was all “Oh my god, when did you go through the windscreen?” You put up with it, but then you get f***ing sick of it. I listened to what Simon Cowell said, and he said, ‘Get it done, it’ll make you look more…

“It took four minutes each side, lasered not Botoxed. No one noticed until I mentioned it. When you don’t say anything you’re classified as a liar, so you can’t win. It’s got me more s*** in the past six months…”

However Ramsey is not a cosmetic surgery convert and will not be going under the knife any time in the near future.

“Am I going to have any more work done? Of course I’m not going to have any more f***ing work done,” Ramsey commented.

“The amazing guy who did it said to me, “Let’s get one thing right. I am not, under any circumstances, ever going to touch that forehead.”.”

Ramsey has had filler injections on the lines around his face to help plump out the creases on his face, a cosmetic procedure he is reported to have spent around £400 on. Ramsey has said that he decided to have the filler injections after music mogul Simon Cowell suggested he should have it done.

The procedure appears to have had some effect. In earlier photos of the chef, deep lines could be seen on his forehead, chin and between the nose and mouth. Today, the wrinkles are definitely less pronounced.

The dermal fillers are not the first cosmetic procedure that the chef has had. Earlier in the year he admitted to having had Botox injections to improve the look of the skin on his face. However, he said that no-one appeared to notice that he had had Botox injections.

Naturally there are downsides to this form of cosmetic procedure. There can be swelling after the dermal filler injections, there is the possibility of allergic reaction to the filler itself and the dermal fillers need to be topped up as they wear off.

Restylane

Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin. Restylane was the first dermal filler to use non-animal hyaluronic acid. Before Restylane, facial fillers were made of animal products such as bovine collagen, silicone or body fat. Hyaluronic acid is a good choice for dermal filler because it is a substance that occurs naturally in the body therefore the incidence of allergic reaction is very low.

Restylane is approved by the FDA for lasting up to 18 months. It is currently the world’s leading dermal filler having been used over 10 million times since it’s inception in 2004. Restylane is most commonly used for the hollows under the eyes, lines around the nose and mouth, and in the lips.

Perlane

Perlane is made by the same company who manufacture Restylane and is also made of hyaluronic acid. However it is only FDA approved to last for up to 6 months. A relative newcomer to the dermal filler market, Perlane has only been in use since 2007.

Juvederm

Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid and is from the same manufacturers who make Botox. Juvederm is very popular for deeper wrinkles such as for plumping out crows feet and the lines between the nose and the mouth.

Prevelle Silk

Prevelle Silk is made of hyaluronic acid and also incorporates lidocaine, a local anaesthetic to help numb the injection site. This makes it a good filler for use in sensitive areas such as the lips, however it should be noted that some discomfort will still be experienced from the injection despite the numbing sensation.

Radiesse

Radiesse is made of calcium-based microspheres and claims to promote collage reproduction which helps plump the skin out, however this claim is probably not as good as it sounds. The body will naturally produce collagen to wall of foreign substances therefore all dermal fillers will actually see the body producing collagen.

Evolence

Evolence is another relative newcomer to the dermal filler market having been around since 2008. Evolence is made from porcine collagen (from pigs). Porcine collagen is very similar to human collagen hence it’s usage. There is no risk of catching pig diseases from having these dermal filler injections.

Dysport

Touted as a safer and better alternative to Botox, Dysport has only recently been released into the cosmetic market. Dysport uses the same active ingredient as Botox however it is claimed to act more quickly than Botox and also has a much lower risk of the toxin spreading to other areas of the body. Dysport is also priced lower than Botox.

However Botox has 20 years of research and use behind it whilst Dysport is very new therefore little is known about long-term effects ofusing Dysport.

So which filler is best? The answer is there is no one best filler. If you are planning on getting facial fillers it is best to talk through the options with your cosmetic practitioner to discuss what the best dermal filler for you is.

Many celebrities have realised that Botox alone can often lead to a false, stretched look which isn’t always particularly pleasant. To help soften the face dermal fillers are now all the rage to help plump out the face.

The ageing process sees most people lose volume from the face – first from around the eyes, then the upper cheeks, cheekbones, sides of the mouth, nose-to-mouth lines, and then the forehead and sides of the face. To help negate this ageing look, many celebrities are turning to facial fillers to help plump out their faces and make them look younger.

And there are plenty of facial fillers to choose from – Restylane, Voluma and Juvederm are arguably the most well known. Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid which naturally is present in the skin.

Facial fillers, like Botox, are temporary and need to be topped up about once a year. There is little bruising and just a small amount of swelling so the injections are very easy to hide.

The one major downside of facial fillers are that if you use too much filler, the face can end up looking over-plumped and unnatural. Partly, this occurs when human fat is used. The human body tends to use up up to 70% of what is implanted, therefore some cosmetic surgeons will inject a large proportion of filler to make up for this.
