The snatched look: full face transformation for drag queens
Objectives: To define who drag queens are and acknowledge their growing popularity
To recognize drag queen's aesthetic needs and to plan treatment strategies on how we can address these needs.
To learn how to combine non-surgical/injectable treatments to transform and enhance facial features of drag queens.
Introduction: Drag queens are a unique subset of the LGBT community who perform exaggerated gender expressions for entertainment purposes. Usually they are male in terms of gender expression but will use make-up to transform into female expressions for performances. When treating drag queens, it is important that we preserve their "day-time" gender expression while enhancing their drag features when they transform with make-up.
Materials / method: In this lecture, assessment, and treatment strategies for drag patients will be presented. Videos of the techniques as well as before and after photos will be shown.
Results: Assessment is an important key in treating drag queens. This includes analysis of their facial morphology as well as being aware of their branding and identity in drag. We must learn how they apply their make-up, what particular looks they desire, and what facial features are of concern for them. Plan accordingly your treatment strategies. Non-surgical options can be a combination of toxin, fillers, threads and skin boosters.
Conclusion: Drag queens are a distinct subset of LBGT patients and their aesthetic needs are unique. Careful assessment is needed to recognize their brand, looks and needs, which is important to create a treatment strategy. The use of non-surgical injectable treatments is one of the best tools to help with their transformations.
