The ‘Internal Bra’ procedure, as described by the surgeon, works to lift the breasts without implants, making it hugely appealing to women who want perkiness without the obvious ‘boob job’ look.
Gerard shared with Fabulous: “This is genuinely revolutionary. The technique is focused on creating an internal support structure using a specialist surgical mesh that acts like a permanent inside the body.
“In the US, this is widely talked about in surgical circles and often rumoured among actresses over 40 or 50 who suddenly look uplifted but very natural such as Sarah Jessica Parker. You’d never know unless someone told you.
“The mesh is made from a special surgical material that integrates with your own tissue over time.
“Recovery is about two to three weeks – much quicker than traditional implants.
“You can’t do any for about six weeks, but most patients are back to normal activities within a fortnight.”
As well as this, Gerard added: “Look at actresses who’ve been photographed in recently – that confidence often comes from knowing everything will stay exactly where it should.
“It’s particularly popular with women who’ve and lost volume but don’t want the artificial look of implants.”
Cost: £8,000 – £12,000
‘Trap Tox’ – The Bella Hadid Neck
Gerard also revealed a new “viral trend” that’s all about “lengthening the neck”.

He explained: “By injecting into the trapezius muscles between the neck and shoulders, we can create a longer, more elegant neckline.”
According to Gerard, this look has been widely linked online to , whose swan-like neck has sparked a surge in copycat requests.
Gerard added: “Women say they look slimmer, taller and more elegant – without touching the face itself.
There’s zero downtime – you can literally do this in your lunchbreak

“It’s particularly popular with women who feel their necks look ‘stumpy’ in photos.
“The transformation is quite dramatic – suddenly you look like you’ve grown two inches and lost half a stone, just from reshaping the neck area.”
Not only this, but Gerard described the procedure as perfect for a , as he acknowledged: “There’s zero downtime – you can literally do this in your lunchbreak.
“Results start showing after about a week and last four to six months.
“I’ve noticed several British TV presenters who’ve suddenly developed these beautiful, elongated necks such as Cat Deeley and while she’s not said she’s had it, it’s become a go-to treatment for anyone who’s keen to have that elegant neckline.”
Cost: £800 – £1,200 per session
The ‘Ponytail Lift’ – Red carpet’s secret weapon
As well as elongating your neck, another procedure that’s said to be loved in Hollywood is what Gerard calls “the awards-season special.”

According to Gerard, a tweakment known as the ‘Ponytail Lift’ is a minimally invasive endoscopic lift that subtly raises the brows and eye area – just like pulling your into a tight ponytail.
Gerard observed: “The beauty is there’s virtually no downtime. Celebs are red-carpet ready within days.
“It’s that instant ‘refreshed’ look without any tell-tale signs of surgery.
“Tiny incisions are hidden in the hairline and use an endoscope – basically a tiny camera – to lift and reposition everything.
“Recovery is about five to seven days, with some minor swelling that’s easily covered with make-up.
“By day 10, you look like you’ve had the best of your life and have !
“Think about actresses who suddenly look incredibly awake and lifted at premieres after looking tired in paparazzi shots just weeks before. That transformation isn’t just good – it’s often this procedure.”
So who does Gerard believe may have had this procedure? He claimed: “Kris Jenner and are speculated to have had variations of it and both look great.”
Cost: £4,000 – £6,000
Fat Shifting (not filling) – The filler replacement
If you want a youthful complexion but whilst looking like you’ve had “nothing done,” this ‘Fat Shifting’ procedure might be up your street.

Gerard shared: “When stars deny filler, they’re often telling the truth. What they’ve had is facial fat repositioning – moving their own fat back to where it used to sit.”
According to Gerard, instead of puffing the face up, this tweakment restores youthful contours, as he highlighted: “It’s like turning back the clock rather than adding volume.
“The results are so natural that even close-up HD cameras can’t detect it. That’s why certain stars look exactly like their younger selves rather than ‘done’.
“Recovery takes about two weeks for the swelling to settle, but because it’s your own fat, there’s no risk of rejection or those lumpy filler complications.
“We harvest fat from areas where you have excess – usually the stomach or thighs – purify it, then strategically place it where youth has been lost.”
