I can confirm this is very true. My face got somewhat asymmetrical due to an incident.. this made me very self conscious.. I went to a reputable surgeon clinic in Virginia, ready to get cosmetic surgery, but he talked me out of it.. he said I was very young and the asymmetry was minor and could be fixed with fillers.. so he recommended that.. I went for it, got 2 syringes only.. the results were natural and I was happy with.. now this is what the surgeon said to me.. that the filler will dissolve and turn into collagen and most of the volume will remain... That was almost 10 years ago.. I did not go back for more because after all this time, most of the volume is still there, and it looks natural.. I think the problem is with those who don't know when to stop.
Oh my. We have the same experience, I had an unfortunate accident too and it resulted in my cheekbone is slightly lower than the other. It is not instantly noticeable but it is there and my face is not balanced. I should probably do this although I never want to put filler in my face. Your story now makes me want to give it a go, only to fix it and not to keep on adding more 😊
Absolutely. Ive been getting it done for the last ten years too. I had really deep nasolabial folds and being overweight, childbirth, all these fluctuations stretch the skin. As long as youre doing it with alot of precaution. I say one syringe every so many years, where you experience volume loss. IF youre tasteful, youre good. Its the people who are going every couple months, with infinite spending budgets and get filler blindness.
I have a similar experience, except I had developed deep tear troughs when I was in my mid 20s, I had filler injected under my eyes 14 years ago, and topped up again 13 years ago…and nothing else after that. I liked my face and didn’t want filler anywhere else. Total 2 syringes, 1 under each eye. I never needed to get it redone to this day, my undereyes are still smooth, no tear troughs, and looks 100% natural. I think I look younger than my age because of that, no one can guess that I just turned 40. The trick is to know when to stop, and to use small amounts only where you REALLY need it (for eg., asymmetries, tear trough deformities, age related volume loss). Where things go wrong is when young people try to change their entire face structure with fillers to meet the ‘Instagram beauty standard’, augmenting areas that haven’t even lost volume or gone through aging (like lips, cheeks, jawline), and they keep topping up those areas every 1-2 years because they’ve gone ‘filler blind’…that’s when they start looking fake and pillow-faced, especially years later when all that volume accumulates, and they start aging, so all that excess volume just starts sagging and looking distorted and puffy.
I dont watch this girl but Ive seen her online and she comes off as such a know it all. She knows no more than the average person about anything she just yells the loudest.
Oohh okay, the female Shapiro, it all makes sense now🤦♀️ that's all they do is spread misinformation, especially about health related topics, don't get evil vaxxes, don't use sunscreen, drink raw milk etc 🙄
yea she is only 22 or 23 life has not yet kicked her in the balls amd given her a reality check, but she was home schooled and sounds like she gets all her mum's attention, basically spoilt know it all bratt
I think the revelation that this filler migrates to other parts of the face rather than dissolve should pretty much end it's use. At least I know I would never get it.
That's a decision to be made by the patient, with all information available to them. For many, the results outweigh the risks, and for many, the alternatives can get them the effect they are looking for- or, upon being provided the information, they will stop pursuing it. That's on the patient, not tiktockers
@ghostratsarah yeah but I dare to say that it's rare that the patient will be informed completely to the point you can call it "informed consent". Practitioners are salesmen more often than not in these situations and over-highlight benefits while not disclosing risks (and even downplaying them when actively confronted with potential risks you've heard of)
@sarahg2653 well....reality is it's not practiced often. Went to an "acne scar expert" to improve my skin...NEVER to permanently distorted my face. Was pushed into having invasive subcision plus Radiesse ON THE SPOT...zero consideration time (he didn't even tell me the name of it before treatment). I initially came in asking for classic microneedling. Looking back...im a person who has a hard time saying no anyway and was (cause of the sudden acne scarring) mentally NOT OK at all to even be able to consent to anything in a rational way. Well here we are...I had to do my own research on this Radiesse filler afterwards myself (he only said it'll be gone in 1 year and only stimulate a bit collagen to help my scars....(NO mention of any risks and that it was originally actually used for HIV patients and will 100% create volume and change your facial proportions). Learned it will def create volume which it did. My face is still distorted 2 years layer (had 1ml of 1:1 diluted radiesse). Had to learn that in all probability the changes to my facial proportions are permanent (as there's ZERO research or definite answer to the question of its durability and ZERO options to dissolve, which was also never mentioned). Basically I now live with constant regret, avoid all mirrors and have been suicidal ever since. Cause there lierally nothing that I can do....Dr. Emil Henningsen (Denmark) NEVER gave me the option of informed consent and literally ruined my face and mental health permanently on April the 13th
If a doctor says no to a procedure that would bring in thousands of dollars; believe them. The doctors who overfill to the point of disfiguration should lose their license and be jailed. Surprising to me that most people didn’t know that filler doesn’t 100% go away
Also the fact that people know things doesn’t mean they stay away from it. Cigarette boxes have notices telling people it causes all kinds of serious illnesses, it doesn’t mean people stop smoking. People believe the bad things don’t happen to them, only to other people.
@@paradiseBird-z4d So the first time you buy a pack of cigarettes and you read the box..BEFORE addiction kicks, does it prevent some adolescents from smoking the first time? No. Studies have shown the current warning labels are ineffective amongst adolescent smokers.
A majority of the drugs approved get pulled in a year b/c they're killing people or causing serious side effects. These meds are prescribed by people's doctor who they trust.
I've known this for at least 2-3 years. A radiologist made a similar study long ago and concluded the same thing. I think it was Dr. Youn who did a video on it
@@bonniesteinke6624 fillers don't dissolve on their own, they migrate to make it seem they are gone. Unless you get them actively dissolved they are still there.
Integrity is scarce. I had a small procedure done by a Plastic Surgeon, during the follow-up I said, now I just need to lose 10 lbs (which is HONESTLY, not much since I'm 5'10) The doctor offered Ozempic! Holy moly. 10 lbs and he doesn't say don't eat ice cream, he actually offered to put me on weekly injections. Never going back to this guy again, obviously $$ motivated.
Tbh, you remember when the right freaked out over left wingers trying to bend language and the left freaked out over body positivity? The truth is somewhere in the middle. No, there is no conspiracy to force doctors and medicals to say a certain set of words. But see…. A doctor can’t sell you a gym membership or weight loss. They CAN sell you filler and ozenpic. At the end of the day, it comes down to who is selling what.
I have severe acne scars, I have fillers not to enhance my features or change my face shape but just to have volume on the scars. Made a huge different and don’t regret it at all! But i think its important not to over do it
@@kathleenking47huh that’s interesting. I’m about to head to google to find out. Update: you’re totally right. Says for defects and scars. But people with body dysmorphia and greedy doctors created a very harmful trend. I wish Kylie Jenner would discuss her experiences in a little more detail to persuade women not do excessive surgery because she could help A LOT of people. Put a halt to the unrealistic standards set by her family.
@kathleenking47 mine injected radiesse for acne scars and it completely distorted my face....he pushed me into this shit on the spot (I came in asking for classic microneedling) without being fully informed. I now learned through research that I'll probably be botched for life and not see my natural face ever again (now have a chubby, undefined face with a very skinny body). I live in constant regret and hate for this derm
I had fillers put in my lips once about 4 years ago and they told me that it would dissolve in about a year. 4 years later and I still have it in my lips and it is lumpy and it looks like I have a scar along the inner rim of my lip. I regret it and need to get it dissolved but just haven't yet. I do not suggest getting fillers. I'm just grateful that I only did my lips and not the rest of my face.
I don’t want to scare you, but I got lip filler back in April (only 0.5 ml) and it’s now September, and it’s still lumpy and hard. I’ve gone three times since to get it dissolved and it’s not gone. I seriously can’t tell if it’s going down or not because it still looks the same and I still see the lumps
@@r.c.7779 that's exactly why I have been hesitant to get it dissolved. I was worried I would spend the money and it wouldn't work. I'm really sorry you're going through this. They need to be more transparent about fillers and stop downplaying the risks.
@@LetishaMG I’m looking into ultrasound guided dissolving. They use an ultrasound device to see exactly where the filler is at to spot dissolve it (since I have lumps). I will probably do it in a couple weeks (pretty expensive though - $900) and will let you know if I see better results. Im feeling pretty defeated and feeling like the only thing that can remove it is removal through a puncture but haven’t found anyone that does it
@@drgarylinkovHello Doctor, thank you for your helpful advice ❤ and I followed you and subscribed already for a long time now. Is mesotherapy and skin booster safe or do they work same as HA and not safe ? Because a doctor told me about “ Jalupro “ for eyes, neck and décolletage ? Thank you so much in advance for your reply
@@therainyday27 I replied earlier but for some reason YT deleted my comment. But if you just search up his name and incidents on the plastic surgery sections of the red app that starts with R (I don’t want to name it in case that was why my comment was deleted) there are multiple people that have been botched by him. There was one really bad case not too long ago with pictures but their review was removed since I’ve seen it. His bad reviews constantly get removed and he’s only left with 5 star reviews. I’m sure he’s paid these patients off. But in the most recent case I’ve seen that I mentioned, the young woman had a lip lift and it was terribly botched and Dr. Linkov started to ignore her requests for any help. It was really really sad. This is why anyone who’s thinking of getting work done should not just go to any surgeon that’s well known on social media.
I’ve been nurse injector for many years and I realized I was potentially doing my patients a disservice, about three years ago. I started to downsize my filler business, and I have eliminated it completely and now educate people about other ways of taking care of their skin and underlying tissues that don’t involve fillers. I have had a few very angry and irate people when I refused to continue to fill them! I just did not feel in good conscience that It was the right thing to continue to do knowing what I know.
My fat was melted by a doctor who didn’t do ulthera right. Ive has some sculpture and that helped. I use microcurrent and that helps too but my cheeks are still not really my cheeks in the center. Should I put sculptra there or what do you recommend?
@@rhonda6791 I couldn’t guide you without an in person consultation. Seek a cosmetic surgeon that has a wide array of offerings for the best recommendations for you personally.❤️
Something about this woman's voice grates on my nerves so bad. Doctor Linkov's voice is so soothing and nice, and she sounds like a shrill harpy to me.
omg i found someone has the same opinion 😂 i dont hate that she is quoting things she found on the internet, but my god, her voice it hurts my ears so much, im having a roller coaster between the doctors deep soothing voice and her high pitched screeching ear piercing noise 😂
There are worse female voices out there. Far worse. She is a young woman and as a woman her voice never bothered me. She is getting worked up about the information. Please have some patience. Imo I have seen some of her vids again her voice is not bad at all.
It’s so frustrating to me how people seem to be only capable of swinging between extremes (either believing everything a person in a lab coat tells them or demonizing the entire medical industry) without spending anytime in the middle (trust but verify).
At the age of 59, I just started getting a very SMALL amount of filler under the eyes and in the nasolabial area. I am thrilled with the subtle, natural results. My practitioner has a light touch and does not always empty a syringe. Filler can, and is, being used responsibly by a lot of people. There is no doubt that many practitioners over-fill, and many clients go too far.
The previous commenter is accurate about fillers blocking the lymphatic system, but fillers are meant to replace fullness we all lose with age due to collagen loss & aging of facial muscles.... What loss of fullness are most of these young people trying to remedy?.... Add to that, the fact that hyaluronic acid is very hydrophilic.... Stress or a bad diet or hormones are only going to enhance that unnecessary extra fullness.
Ive been getting fillers for many years. If you have volume loss, in some areas its really good. So long as youre Conservative. Otherwise you can wind up a total mess like some of these celebrities.
I hate these videos because they make me feel bad for having filler. I have terrible body dismorphia and filler really helps me feel more confident about myself, that girl just makes anyone who has filler seem like insane people when that’s not the case, she thinks she’s better because she doesn’t have any but honestly who cares, if someone wants to get filler it’s their body their choice.
@@misssami4642and its very much dependent upon the person. some filler will dissolve and be absorbed by your body - that's the norm. its when people are filled too much or too often that the body can hang on to it.
Your channel has helped me understand my own facial structure and how to optimize it with makeup and grooming rather than anything kind of cosmetic procedure. It’s definitely helped with some of my dysmorphia to know that these procedures are truly not 100% risk free. It’s also been so reassuring seeing how cosmetic procedures age with a person and realizing that my looks can really be very fluid throughout my life. It’s so nice to see someone in the field having frank, honest discussion about these procedures without trying to sell the broader audience on getting them
I had fillers done in Poland 4 years ago. I was CLEARLY informed that filler stays - migrates but stays, it could be dissolved but not easy. Then, 3 years ago I had fillers done in Spain, and the advice was exactly the same!
I also was contemplating filler (in Spain) a couple of years ago, and was told about not just the risk of the dissolving enzyme but the recent research on longevity, migration, and even the tenuous link to potential immune system complications. It’s interesting which countries have adapted the same protocol.
That _is_ pretty interesting since a lot of Europe is not so strict about what fillers can be used. (At least that's how it was a billion years ago when I was in school, lol) I guess more regulation doesn't always mean they're actually out for your best interest....
@@r.c.7779 Just to add on to the previous commenter who responded to your question, because the hyaluronic acid your body naturally produces can also be dissolved.... It's a product to dissolve hyaluronic acid.... Which can lead to you losing some of your natural fullness & looking... "deflated".... essentially.
Just goes to show that if you give someone a microphone, video camera, and a social media platform, and suddenly they can record and post whatever they’re uneducated thoughts are, that other people somehow think they’re experts. That’s why I prefer to watch people like you Dr Linkov! Thanks for educating people with evidence and experience Edit: lol some ya’ll have too much time on your hands
You have to be aware of who you're listening to. Look at the name and qualifications of the content creator. I find the same with History topics I watch. There is some crazy stuff out there.
Idk, Doc didn't disagree with her on much. Brett is obviously more cynical about doctor motives than Dr. Link but that's to be expected. The only thing he truly pushed back on was the amount of regulation around fillers.
So so true , $3000 later , and this shit is in my face 2 years later , migrated and won’t go away and when you have blemishes it swells and never ever goes away just makes the infection worst .
Restylane migration for me nice lump under my right eye on the cheek 😢 done years ago and can’t seem to get a fix for the lump. Makes me went to hide in the house 😢
Hi, I had cheeks temples and lips , about year and half ago… about 4 syringes not sure , the lips are done with one miserable painful needle poke at a time , but of all I’d say lips are safest , they do for the most part dissolve , the rest not so much, everything they state in this video is true , it’s like a blanket of fluid in your face that migrates and puffs up over night and especially in heat waves .
I feel you, I have two sausages under my eyes, makes my eyes look sunk in and small and I have this wonderful lump on my temple where I had a scar , hoping this would even it out I opted for this out of desperation and it created a visible lump and it’s raw and won’t heal , wish I would have left it alone , but most people need to I guess try this to realize , I hope during the cold winter it settles but I do caution people against this , they will inject this crap anywhere to make money , and people are. Desperate and spend money they don’t have but the end result is just a puffed up face that doesn’t lift or correct lines , just adds to them when the fluid expands , a face lift would be needed but who has money for that , all this plastic surgery is not advanced it’s just a money grab .
While I agree she sounds high strung, it’s no surprise that this guy is taking a “calm” approach- he’s obviously not going to throw himself under the bus, as he’s directly in the industry who has perpetrated fillers amongst many other things.
my sister is a injector, and it pisses me sooo bad she does filler even to 18 years old girls She told me “shell go to another injector anyways”. How is going to end up that girl at 30? It disgusts me that there is no ethics anymore, just money matters for most of them! She keeps denying that it last longer or forever! Naaaasty
Well as long as she tells her patients how filler actually works then it's not wrong that she injects filler. Filler can be useful and look good it just should never be a "every 6 month" treatment, that's insane.
@@hellequinm in case u didnt understand, we are talking about MEDICAL procedures, even if they have esthetic purposes. That requires ethical practices, such as inform patients that fillers NEVER go completely away.
People forget how big their lips already are, they get lip blindness and keep overlining. At some point I wonder if all they want to see under their nose is lips. And I've never seen one that didn't get lumpy, we're so used to it now it's like all lips can be a bit lumpy when in fact it's mostly repeated filler. And they don't look from the side enough where you can see the filler lifting the whole mouth like a fish from bleed through around the mouth.
@@joannab1692 Even the ladies who naturally have large lips are overlining. I mean when is enough enough? The nails, the lashes, blush everything is maximal right now.
I used to have really bad acne so I was in and out of “medical spas” the acne turned to nurses pushing filler and Botox on me at 22 luckily I was extremely broke and didn’t even qualify for their credit card. I stopped going there and visited a dermatologist office only & the dr mentioned how droopy one side of my face is and asked if I sleep on that side. I said yes & she told me she could fix it with filler… I got to the point where I felt like I was extremely unattractive but I realized now that was never the case. They just saw a desperate shy young woman, I’m almost 30 now and good skin care and diet is keeping me looking on point!
Nah, Kylie was both a victim and perpetrator. You can't tell me a 16 year old girl who got her lips done because the public and tabloids harrassed her and compared her constantly to her plastic sisters, was completely her fault. It was bad parenting and bullying, period. As an adult, it was her prerogative to get more work done but her wrong was lying about it and claiming to be natural thus influencing toxic beauty standards. But you can't tell me people would have stopped clowning her. The media when she was pregnant? Brutal. You can't expect celebrities to have a healthy mindset when they're so constantly bullied by people. I'll say it again, Kylie is both a victim and perpetrator.
Absolutely there's nothing wrong with plastic surgery but lying and pretending to just have had lip filler while you bought yourself a brand new appearance. That's what creates people bad reactions. Hence, people remindiing her how she looked in her natural state, which wasn't flattering for the camera and the publi
@@samantha6670 Actually, if you look back at it, she got plastic surgery because of constant bullying over her appearance. Her Kardashian sisters are a lot older than her so they had numerous procedures already as she was growing up. That influence on top of the public and media making it their prerogative to bully her, made her get plastic surgery. She was 16. People need to have some empathy for her. What she did as an adult with her continuous lies is her fault but no one, especially a teenage girl, deserved the kind of comments and bullying she received. Hence her being both a victim and perpetrator. Her natural self created "bad reactions" that eld to her changing her appearance and her naivety and lack of judgement made it worse. And besides, who gave anyone the right to "remind her" of her natural state? SHE WAS 16!! Why are we commenting on a 16 year old's appearance and then saying it's okay because she's done some wrong things? Ridiculous.
@sanjanat1085 That judgement stems from the sole fact that she's now pretenting and preaching being all natural. Hence, people remind her natural state. If she was a minimum honest without necessarily going into details just like by saying " yeah I had some work done throughout my teenage years to feel better about myself". I swear there wouldn't even have picture of her natural self online !
@@samantha6670 that’s just a ridiculous thing to assume. The media and public dogged on her natural self since she was a child, there would be pictures regardless lmao that’s just thoughtless critiquing on your end. Also, she did publicly admit to having work done and if you’d bother to check her full videos instead of snippets, you’d know she admitted to having work done and now she’s feeling insecure because no matter how she looks, people make it their business to shit on her. I never said she’s never done anything wrong, but to expect A-class behaviour from someone who’s been targeted for things she couldn’t control since childhood is wishful thinking and lowkey dehumanising these celebrities. The beauty standards she set were toxic but her plastic surgery results were only things people bullied her for not having. We set the standards, she carried it forward.
So let me get this straight-you’re blaming a celebrity for ‘toxic beauty standards’ just because she didn’t publicly announce every little thing she did to her body? That’s one of the most ridiculous arguments I’ve heard. People follow trends by choice; it’s not like Kylie Jenner is forcing anyone to get fillers. And really, blaming her parents for this? Not everything a kid does is a direct result of how they were raised. Sometimes, kids make their own choices based on who they surround themselves with-especially in school, where parents have little control. It’s naive to think every decision a child makes can be pinned on "bad parenting”. As for lying about fillers, let’s be real-it’s hardly the scandal you're making it out to be. People need to stop obsessing over what celebrities do to their own bodies and take responsibility for their own decisions. Acting like Kylie is responsible for how everyone else chooses to look is honestly embarrassing. If more people knew how to think for themselves and actually apply critical thinking, we wouldn’t see arguments like this blaming celebrities for personal choices. Maybe you should give that a try sometime-it might save you from this level of gullibility.
I think she appears worse in this video because of the juxtaposition of her energy and Dr. Linkov's. He is so calm that her energy feels so much higher.
Saw her on a Mama Doctor John’s video spreading medical misinformation on birth control. The comment section was full of people who seriously needed birth control due to over bleeding and traumatic periods. To be fair; the girl is part of Ben Shapiro’s group. She is a political pundit.
And obnoxious. You can tell it's about her opinion and less about facts. She keeps saying fillers don't dissolve, while the truth is that filler doesn't completely dissolve, moves around and also loves water, hence the fullness and it staying in the face.
What is so disturbing about this trends, is that these women are naturally attractive and young. The signs of aging don’t appear at this young age. Their faces are naturally changing because they’re developing naturally. You’re supposed to get some lines in your face when you smile or frown etc. It’s just very disturbing to see all these young women destroying their faces. I’m in my 60s and I i’m seeing some of these women in 10 years from now regretting these decisions. In addition, isn’t there anything else they can do with her money rather than injecting it in their face? There are literally people starving all over the world, the same people are dumping their animals and shelters etc. buying cups of coffee that cost $45 apiece. We’re really in sad trouble here and people need to wake up.
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called The 21 Former doctor secrets by Rachel Morgan. It has been censored.
I had started watching a video she did a while back and only got 3 min in a s stopped because of her “anxious yelling” voice. Just can’t even concentrate on what she’s saying because her voice is just so annoying.
Right They lived a life They should know better They may be dealing with the teen anguish of their children and grands and give THEM emotional support and reassurance they are OK
Girls as young as 16-17 were getting lip filler in my school .. cos their parents/friends work as injectors and its really easy to get a certificate for it

@@Saibu-uo4tsI think it does go away actually... my friend had a sculptra butt lift and she has to get it redone again. I think if not touched up it will eventually go away
about what you're saying around minute 7:00: ... but... if "at the beginning they don't have too much information...etc, etc." why were those products approved? Wouldn't they wait until they knew long time effects? Until they gathered all the data? Were'nt they released too early and just because there was a market for them? I think she's right on this one! This industry has no scruples, there's not going around that fact. Even honest people like you have to deal with a system that is itself corrupt.
Because they would need to wait 40 years to get all of that data. That's unrealistic. Drugs are released all of the time before long term effects are known.
sigo en castellano que me es más fácil: de vuelta, minuto 9:53, dice ella "esta información ya estaba disponible hacía como un año y así y todo los doctores jamás les avisaron a sus pacientes y les hacían volver para seguir inyectándose... para mí es muy claro que ahí hay un causal de demanda... alguien metió la pata... o la misma industria falló en comunicarle a los profesionales del nuevo descubrimiento o los doctores fueron informados pero decidieron seguir pasando factura... alguien tiene que pagar!
That is just not how the FDA drug approval process works. All medications undergo rigorous safety testing. FDA approval happens after Phase 3 studies, usually studied on thousands of patients on a time span of several months to years. The FDA grants approval but still follows post market studies (Phase 4) to ensure that the medicine still is safe and effective in real life scenarios, amongst many more people than can be enrolled in a Phase 3, over a longer span of time. Phase 3s are randomized controlled studies - which means there’s a treatment arm and a control arm - and involve strict monitoring which is great but obviously not possible over a decade long span. It’s also dubiously ethical given it would delay the approval of potentially life saving medications that have already been validated. If results are not as expected in Phase 4, the FDA has numerous mechanisms from black box warnings up to withdrawal of approval to account for differences in real life vs a clinical testing scenario.
It was created for people with scars and actual deformities. It wasn’t meant for mass consumption for people who need an ego boost. Some of the people in the comments are saying they had ready bad scars from acne and that’s why they got it, they don’t regret it because they don’t over do it
Anyone who reminds people that plastic surgery is surgery and therefore a serious proceedure is welcome. America does seem a place where being able to pay for a procedure is justification for doing it
As a woman in her mid 30s with no filler or Botox (yet) I have a real issue with these young zoomers going online and judging people for getting fillers or Botox or any work done period. Girl you don’t know who you’re going to be in 20-30 year. I’m sure once you start seeing sagging and wrinkles on your face you will be happy to get whatever procedures are available to you.
Older than you no Botox or fillers and I appreciate her warning people it does not dissolve, it migrates and causes other issues. She cites a doctors tiktok and Dr Gary backs the info. The real issue with millennials is the generation seems incapable of understanding when others don’t agree with you or give in to your point. I hope for your sake you don’t go for injections, facial yoga exists and it’s free ;)
I love filler. However, over the years I have used it INCREDIBLY sparingly. Beauty channels will show the faces of the same three messed up celebrities warning people that 'this is what filler does!' No. This is what a heavy-handed doctor can do to a patient who is asking for a large amount of filler.
You didn't listen properly, hyaluronic acid binds water, over time the volume can more than double where the hyaluronic acid is (or has migrated to). That's why the moon faces become more visible over time.
@@Laura_Stern If you only use a tiny tiny amount when doing touch ups it should be fine. Like for exemple only use 1ml for both cheekbones. Fillers are never been made to create bones but to plump area where you did lost volume.
I think it’s too soon to say about the side effects of using filler as when you are so young you don’t know how your face will handle it over the next 10,20,30 years.
Or even someone with alot of money and lack of self awareness. Which alot of celebrities have, obsessive over their faces too. If youre using it sparingly you should be okay. & the thiner fillers, they go away. Its the thicker ones, Ive noticed have way more staying power.
I'm seeing many people in the comments saying "It's fine after a certain age"... this is not about physical appearance, its about health. This is NOT healthy, it blocks the lymphatic system so you cannot detoxify. This causes cancer. Even if you're 80, don't use filler.
I saw a news headline the other day saying it may help reduce aging in addition to the weight loss. This will drive even more people to use it for looks instead of health
GLP-1 has been in wide use for over a decade, and the benefits far outweigh the downsides if used as directed. Additional data is showing benefits beyond just weight loss, including heart disease and kidney disease, reducing type 2 diabetes risk, and Alzheimers.
Hyaluronic fillers are the problem. They are not absorbed as is generally said, but rather they migrate around the face. They do not stay where they were injected, they settle somewhere else. That is the problem, but people are led to believe that they are completely broken down by the cosmetic industry.
I think you maybe didn't understand the video about migrating fillers and unknown long-term effects of those fillers. There are new studies about possible cancer risk of fillers, too (still debated back and forth). Which would be not surprising, because injecting something in the body will most likely piss of the immune system.
Doctor Linkow, which filler is safe and recommended (alternative to hyaluron)? Please give us alternatives. I always thought my own fat was the best alternative, but as you said, that's not true either.
I’m 32 and I’m absolutely NOT getting fillers. I swear by having a good, healthy diet, sleep, hydration, using SPF and avoiding the sun, having a good skincare routine and getting a facial once a month. If even celebrities and influencers with all their money and access end up looking… not great after filler, no way I’m getting my face pumped just around the corner.
You’re only 32. If all it took was sunscreen and face wash, etc. people wouldn’t be getting filler. Celebrities have too much money and filler is pennies to them. That’s likely why they end up getting too much and looking weird. For average people, it’s a splurge. You’d probably be surprised how many ordinary people have had it. Not everyone ends up looking bad. But hey do what you want with your face. Just letting you know that 32 isn’t really old enough normally for your face to start losing volume.
@@earthlunatics9145 Well said. I'm so sick of 32 -35-year-olds talking about fillers, Botox, cosmetic procedures, and menopause. These women literally shoot so called expert videos on menopause when their moms have been through it, not them. So annoying! I am 49, almost 50. The generation younger WILL get fillers and Botox as they are generally not aging well and not taking great care of themselves. Most of the 32 year old youtubers that make money have loads of filler and Botox. This woman is very difficult to listen to. She's annoying and barely out of her 20''s with no worries at this TIME. Just wait, honey. Just you wait. :)
I considered filler, after watching this video I no longer do. I'll try a dermapen instead (and just had my first microneedling session). The people deserve to know about the risks, thank you so much for educating us.
I'm 71. I have using filler very judiciously for about 2 and a half years to kind of correct a couple places I would prefer to look better. I love my filler, and don't think I will noticeably see some of these "horrors".
I started getting fillers about 20 years ago at 46. Switched to Sculptra about six years ago. Wont be doing HA fillers and never doing lips again. Thankfully my plastic surgeon is very conservative. I am now preparing for lower face and neck surgery. Im very happy with how I look and feel lucky. Im glad i started in my forties. My one regret is lip filler. Ive had MRI’s for an inner ear issue….not sure if they saw filler in my face!!! One tip that i highly suggest is look at photos when your very young and embrace your face structure…..use youvery young face as a guide of how you look naturally and use that. Dont try to be somebody else.
This woman has no deeper education on this subject than anyone with access to the internet - Tik Tok “news”- but she’s got the certainty of someone who would yell you down about the earth being flat. It’s amazing people can tolerate her tone for longer than it takes to click off. I really like hearing medical professionals explain things on a more expansive level. TikTok does not seem a responsible format for this type of information.
Yet the doctors TikTok and Dr Gary proves her correct. Crazy you’re finding sides to scientific facts like fillers migrate and are never 100% removable
Dr. Linkov, if a patient gets PRF (“natural filler”) taken from the patient’s body then injected into the face as a filler, will it have the same effect as synthetic filler by migrating and never completely dissolving? It absorbs back into the body, right or wrong? Perhaps avoid fillers altogether or just get it sparingly.
I lost 70lbs in my 30s and it left my face a bit deflated and droopy looking. I’ve done a few ml of filler across my cheeks and have no regrets. But i also knew there were risks and the benefits for me were worth it. Informed consent is so important!
I just got my lip filler dissolved yesterday. When I got it dome in 2019, I was told it'll get dissolved on its own. I got it done 2 more times and really liked the results. But it made me have a little top shelf over my top lip, due to the filler migration. I miss my lips now but glad to have my natural ones back. I am sure I need a few more weeks to see the results but they seem to look good. My eyes are not used to them, just yet. I wouldn't advise anyone to get the filler done, because, in all reality, it will never fully disappear. Oh, another thing I did like, when waking up, my lips would always look bigger, due to retention of water.
@@Saibu-uo4ts Yeah, it was a rhetorical question tbh, so much repeat business for them all with the "HA is natural and absorbed by the body in 6 months " schtick.
The MRIs today are incomparable to the MRIs of old. They are so advanced and can do so much more. I'm not sure what time trials for particular fillers were done, but it's possible that they didn't have the technology. It's also possible that they used smaller and less frequent doses so most of the filler did dissolve. Some people get a ton of filler so that sticks around longer. Also if you get it in areas that don't move as much it tends to stay longer.
Does she think she is performing a public service? It seems that she is not trafficking in education and information so much as fear mongering and outrage for profit. It's like she's heard shock jocks and decided it was an easy way for her to make money and that behaviour is quickly going out of fashion, thankfully.
I can understand why she is annoying to people but I didn't hear the Doc push back on most of what she said. Maybe her performance is exaggerated but her information doesn't appear to be incorrect, at least based on this Dr.'s reaction to it

My lip filler lasted a long time. I only touched it up after 4 years. I didn’t even realize how small my lips had gotten until I took a before and after picture 😂
The last time i had my lips done was around 8 years ago with Juvederm ultra. My lips are still full. They have lost volume, of course, but have never returned back to their original size as yet.
@foxearx , it's pretty crazy !!!! My doctor thinks that even though you can't see it that scar tissue can grow around fillers if your lips are traumatised by the needle if done many times.
Kinda a blessing in disguise for me. I've had my lips injected quite a while ago as well ... and they're STILL fuller than my old ones. They look plump enough that I don't twant more. So not only have I not needed to get more filler, I'm very happy with the longevity and may never get more filler again because I'm still satisfied with them!
I got filler over a year ago now and still don’t need anymore in my lips, sheesshhhh. I still love it though and will continue to get it (: the thing you want to make sure you do is your research.
I'm not sure how every single injector isn't aware that this stuff lasts much longer than they say? I had my mid-face, nasolabial folds and lips done. I have had 6 syringes over the last two to three years. I noticed recently my nasalabial fold area is very puffy. I haven't had anything injected there in about a year and a half but I can still feel all of it there when I put my finger and my mouth. I had that area injected 3 times. The injector said it was such a small amount that was put in the time prior and they didnt think it was from the filler. I said it was my belief that all of the filler from before was still there and they looked at me like I was crazy! I knew i was right.
the emptier, the louder. she got a part of it right, but many of her claims and conclusions are to create outrage for views. leave scientific / medical content to scientists / physicians.
If they don't like fillers, then don't get them. Yes all the information should be available and transparent... But I get my lips filled a few times a year, I love it. It's my choice what I do with my body and I'm aware I can dissolve them if I choose to. Why are these women getting so upset about what other people choose to do with their own body.
I use a lot of acids and tretinoin to keep my skin youthful and I love my Lawless forget the filler lip mask. I’ve heard people trash those products too. 🤷🏻♀️ I personally don’t care what other ladies do. I enjoy a natural look while others love enhancements.
I’m a natural skeptic so as tempted as I was, I am so glad I never started with fillers. In my mind I thought long and hard about when we’ve seen fillers done well, and it’s always with the super wealthy celebrities, and sometimes they get botched too..: They’re not going to what ever suburban beauty spa I can afford and I very rarely see everyday people with lip filler for example that doesn’t make them look like a Simpsons character. And the fact that you have to continue to do it or your face will look deflated, sounds like an absolute racket. I immediately think of reality stars Darcey and Stacey… They don’t have anything close to an A List celebrity’s bank accounts, so they have to resort to doing promos for free treatments, flying to poor countries to maintain the work they’ve done and they were beautiful women when they first started with the treatments and now they look like horrifying science projects gone wrong.
When fillers were used off label and when they were approved 2 dozen years ago, they told the public they last 6-12 months, but this was not true. They didn't know I guess, but whether it was ignorance or intentional, it doesn't change the end result.
They never did long-term term studies. The people were part of the trial that they didn't know they were in. Them not knowing before is not an excuse. Even though info finally came out a few years ago, it wasn't common knowledge for most women getting it. The lady is right, most medical providers didn't tell people even after they knew! Not everyone is like Dr. L unfortunately.
I'm not even into aesthetic work and all and even I've known that fillers don't dissolve for YEARS. Brett & the girl whose video she is sharing's opinions are pretty shallow compared to the abstract convos that can be had. Thanks Dr for adding some brain cells to this whole convo lol
Props to whoever edited this video. Playing thins lady at speed x2 is a total win. Nobody will notice the difference while Doctor Linkov has more minutes to give explanations. Brilliant✨
As a person whose been getting injected for many many years, use it wisely. Use it scarcely and do not use this products unless you are experiencing serious deepening of lines, shadows and significant forms of ageing- 30s- 40s and 50s. Because honestly the young girls I see with this are just really doing damage. ITs made to plump areas that have lost volume. I get one syringe every two years or so. Ive had my mid face dissolved before, it was horrifying, it absolutely kills your natural HA and so Dr. Linkov is absolutely correct. Its really not an easy way to remove it. I think that starting to care for your skin, using other devices like micro currents- etc can help. However fillers can really work wonders until you're ready for a facelift. Theyre not going away, no amount of lymphatic drainage issues are gonna stop women from trying to look youthful. Youth is Capital in this country. But being knowledgeable about what you are putting into your body, is key. This could also push for a better products to be made on the market, so Long as people and doctors are challenging the longevity of these products, their safety, etc.
@@loradimitrova9558 Costs about 200$ depending. The natural borders of your mouth should contain the HA remover from spreading. I had it placed in my mid face a few years ago. Lips are much better results when dissolved. However if youve had the filler for long, if you have them quite filled it can leave your lips wrinkled and stretched, but lips look way better when dissolved than face.
Beauty industry is very shady and omits a lot of things from patients. Today most women still don’t know that they should exchange breast implants every 10 years!!
Why are girls in their early 20s getting filler anyway, they dont need it. Its a waste of money for them. Fillers are for us oldies who need help and i like that it sticks around, given my skin is only going to get thinner with age, i will need the volume.
@@Y2Loud oh are you gen z, are you super lonely. Dont you have any friends at all and definitely no gf to shag 👀 well bro i do 😂 this old person is off to hang out with real humans, and then meet my young guy for a bit of fun 😉, enjoy talking 💩 to strangers on the internet in order for you feel like you have some kind of connection 😘
I think going to the right doctor is the most important. Because some people actually don’t need it. They have already a lot of volume in their face, but I think for people that have a sunken face, even after 10-20 years their face still looks pretty good. You can’t just get multiple syringes in a year. I think it’s a lot about self-control.
I am not entirely convinced that Chrissy Teigan has facial fillers, but has probably had just about everything else done. I naturally have full cheeks, much like hers, and I've been accused of having fillers on several occasions. I would never get that buccal fat removal surgery, but the irony is that the one thing I would change about my face is to make my cheeks just a little less full.
Brett Cooper is young and a bit exuberant at times, that's true. That said, she is very worth listening to with strong, honest points of view. She's NOT Woke, which I truly appreciate.
There are new studies suggesting that fillers might heighten cancer risk (still debated back and forth, time will tell I guess). Which would not be surprising at all.
I use hyaluronic acid serum on my skin. It has worked great. Have used it for years with a good moisturizer. I have no wrinkles and a good jawline. I 'm 71. I read about it in a Mayo Clinic article; a Floridian who loved sun, I could see damage and so went looking. My first bottles were really expensive, around 99.00; ultimately I found one for around 15.00, use it morning and night. The results have been amazing, and I can't understand why you'd inject it as a filler. It works great as a topical!
It works in different ways. Hyaluronic acid used topically attracts moisture to the surface of the skin which makes it look a bit plumper. Your body also makes HA which plumps your tissues from the inside, but your body makes less of it as you get older. Some people counteract this by injecting medical grade HA (definitely not the type you apply externally) close to the surface of the skin in a mesotherapy technique to give it some bounce (this is Profhilo and similar products). The thing is, your body breaks down and excretes regular HA from your skin, so HA filler has molecules that are bonded to each other (crosslinked) to slow down the body's attempts to get rid of it. Filler is thick and gloopy and is used to create volume and features such as restoring shrunken cheek fat pads or make a jawline more sculpted.
There are two different types of HA. Reticulated and non-reticulated. The non-reticulated are absorbed by the skin and are used topically as humectant.
But I’ve noticed a visible change in my facial structure/appearance after about 8-12 months post injecting filler. There is a definite revision and dissolving over time. My filler does not expand with time.
she's the typical insufferable teenager/young adult who knows it all and is always extreme and jumps from high to high she's either going to grow out of this annoying phase (hopefully) or become yet more insufferable as a full adult (please no). I dont listen to teenagers/young adults points of view about anything outside their age range and minute life experience. This topic is outside her reach. that combined with her extremely annoying voice and way of presenting, I'm avoiding this girl like the plague

@@NgG-g2n It’s about more medical stuff and issues. Sometimes political pundits spread misinformation. It’s good to pay attention to when they are right and when they are wrong.
Love Dr. Linkov but I’m struggling to get through this because of her. Particularly the back and forth clips. His voice is so soothing and hers is so agressive that I feel like I’m submitting myself to something akin to water torture. Children screaming online about their TikTok wisdom gives me anxiety.
With the word "lasts" something always told met that that meant the effect of the filler, not the filler itself... idk. It's the one thing I haven't quite jumped to get yet. Thanks for your video.

I can confirm this is very true.
My face got somewhat asymmetrical due to an incident.. this made me very self conscious.. I went to a reputable surgeon clinic in Virginia, ready to get cosmetic surgery, but he talked me out of it.. he said I was very young and the asymmetry was minor and could be fixed with fillers.. so he recommended that.. I went for it, got 2 syringes only.. the results were natural and I was happy with.. now this is what the surgeon said to me.. that the filler will dissolve and turn into collagen and most of the volume will remain...
That was almost 10 years ago.. I did not go back for more because after all this time, most of the volume is still there, and it looks natural.. I think the problem is with those who don't know when to stop.
Oh my. We have the same experience, I had an unfortunate accident too and it resulted in my cheekbone is slightly lower than the other. It is not instantly noticeable but it is there and my face is not balanced. I should probably do this although I never want to put filler in my face. Your story now makes me want to give it a go, only to fix it and not to keep on adding more 😊
Absolutely. Ive been getting it done for the last ten years too. I had really deep nasolabial folds and being overweight, childbirth, all these fluctuations stretch the skin. As long as youre doing it with alot of precaution. I say one syringe every so many years, where you experience volume loss. IF youre tasteful, youre good. Its the people who are going every couple months, with infinite spending budgets and get filler blindness.
I have a similar experience, except I had developed deep tear troughs when I was in my mid 20s, I had filler injected under my eyes 14 years ago, and topped up again 13 years ago…and nothing else after that. I liked my face and didn’t want filler anywhere else. Total 2 syringes, 1 under each eye. I never needed to get it redone to this day, my undereyes are still smooth, no tear troughs, and looks 100% natural. I think I look younger than my age because of that, no one can guess that I just turned 40. The trick is to know when to stop, and to use small amounts only where you REALLY need it (for eg., asymmetries, tear trough deformities, age related volume loss). Where things go wrong is when young people try to change their entire face structure with fillers to meet the ‘Instagram beauty standard’, augmenting areas that haven’t even lost volume or gone through aging (like lips, cheeks, jawline), and they keep topping up those areas every 1-2 years because they’ve gone ‘filler blind’…that’s when they start looking fake and pillow-faced, especially years later when all that volume accumulates, and they start aging, so all that excess volume just starts sagging and looking distorted and puffy.
I wish mine would last that long 😂

She is annoying.
I think the revelation that this filler migrates to other parts of the face rather than dissolve should pretty much end it's use. At least I know I would never get it.
For real. Kills the whole purpose of fillers and the unpredictable is a risk factor that would be so stupid to take
That's a decision to be made by the patient, with all information available to them. For many, the results outweigh the risks, and for many, the alternatives can get them the effect they are looking for- or, upon being provided the information, they will stop pursuing it. That's on the patient, not tiktockers
@ghostratsarah yeah but I dare to say that it's rare that the patient will be informed completely to the point you can call it "informed consent". Practitioners are salesmen more often than not in these situations and over-highlight benefits while not disclosing risks (and even downplaying them when actively confronted with potential risks you've heard of)
At the very least, we need ALL the necessary information available. Patients don't just _deserve_ informed consent, it's a medical right.
@sarahg2653 well....reality is it's not practiced often. Went to an "acne scar expert" to improve my skin...NEVER to permanently distorted my face. Was pushed into having invasive subcision plus Radiesse ON THE SPOT...zero consideration time (he didn't even tell me the name of it before treatment). I initially came in asking for classic microneedling. Looking back...im a person who has a hard time saying no anyway and was (cause of the sudden acne scarring) mentally NOT OK at all to even be able to consent to anything in a rational way.
Well here we are...I had to do my own research on this Radiesse filler afterwards myself (he only said it'll be gone in 1 year and only stimulate a bit collagen to help my scars....(NO mention of any risks and that it was originally actually used for HIV patients and will 100% create volume and change your facial proportions). Learned it will def create volume which it did. My face is still distorted 2 years layer (had 1ml of 1:1 diluted radiesse). Had to learn that in all probability the changes to my facial proportions are permanent (as there's ZERO research or definite answer to the question of its durability and ZERO options to dissolve, which was also never mentioned). Basically I now live with constant regret, avoid all mirrors and have been suicidal ever since. Cause there lierally nothing that I can do....Dr. Emil Henningsen (Denmark) NEVER gave me the option of informed consent and literally ruined my face and mental health permanently on April the 13th
If a doctor says no to a procedure that would bring in thousands of dollars; believe them. The doctors who overfill to the point of disfiguration should lose their license and be jailed.
Surprising to me that most people didn’t know that filler doesn’t 100% go away
Also the fact that people know things doesn’t mean they stay away from it. Cigarette boxes have notices telling people it causes all kinds of serious illnesses, it doesn’t mean people stop smoking. People believe the bad things don’t happen to them, only to other people.

@@therainyday27 It looks like the second response I’ve made to you has also been deleted by YT. Let me know if you’re able to see it or not.
I’ve been nurse injector for many years and I realized I was potentially doing my patients a disservice, about three years ago. I started to downsize my filler business, and I have eliminated it completely and now educate people about other ways of taking care of their skin and underlying tissues that don’t involve fillers. I have had a few very angry and irate people when I refused to continue to fill them! I just did not feel in good conscience that It was the right thing to continue to do knowing what I know.
My fat was melted by a doctor who didn’t do ulthera right. Ive has some sculpture and that helped. I use microcurrent and that helps too but my cheeks are still not really my cheeks in the center. Should I put sculptra there or what do you recommend?
@@rhonda6791 I couldn’t guide you without an in person consultation. Seek a cosmetic surgeon that has a wide array of offerings for the best recommendations for you personally.❤️
Something about this woman's voice grates on my nerves so bad. Doctor Linkov's voice is so soothing and nice, and she sounds like a shrill harpy to me.
😂😂
The timbre of her voice, the volume, the tone … everything….
its like nails on a blackboard!
omg i found someone has the same opinion 😂 i dont hate that she is quoting things she found on the internet, but my god, her voice it hurts my ears so much, im having a roller coaster between the doctors deep soothing voice and her high pitched screeching ear piercing noise 😂
There are worse female voices out there. Far worse. She is a young woman and as a woman her voice never bothered me. She is getting worked up about the information. Please have some patience. Imo I have seen some of her vids again her voice is not bad at all.
My friend who had filler many years ago complained that it gave him an autoimmune reaction. He obviously regretted it and stopped. He was a doctor!
I get autoimmune reactions to bandaids and lidocaine.
Same happened to me….😢
i get autoimmune reactions to autoimmune reactions 😞😞😞
His dead ?
Was if only 1 shot of filler or did he have filler injected routinely?
It’s so frustrating to me how people seem to be only capable of swinging between extremes (either believing everything a person in a lab coat tells them or demonizing the entire medical industry) without spending anytime in the middle (trust but verify).
She’s one of those well paid media antagonists
I say don't trust. Verify!
@@geoc1005 I can see the argument but personally if I don’t trust somebody at all in the first place I don’t bother to check it out.
She is a right wing pundit. This is a normal right wing thing.
She gets featured in a Mama Doctor John’s video about birth control misinformation.
Amen
Problem is most don’t look younger or even better imo……just look filled and swollen
I am 52 years old and I have been thinking about getting filler. I appreciate your honesty. These videos are so helpful.
I think the problem is when women get that way too young. I don’t think it’s going to be a problem for you in my personal opinion
I had a doctor tell me that over 50 women should not do fillers or Botox anymore.
Why not even botox?@@Sharylanne
@@Sharylanne - why not? That sounds like when you need it.
F*** you for writing that. Nobody should have a toxic chemical in their face @@Adhara740
At the age of 59, I just started getting a very SMALL amount of filler under the eyes and in the nasolabial area. I am thrilled with the subtle, natural results. My practitioner has a light touch and does not always empty a syringe. Filler can, and is, being used responsibly by a lot of people. There is no doubt that many practitioners over-fill, and many clients go too far.
Yeah but studies show it migrates into your lymph nodes pretty horrifically considering it’s your immune system
The previous commenter is accurate about fillers blocking the lymphatic system, but fillers are meant to replace fullness we all lose with age due to collagen loss & aging of facial muscles.... What loss of fullness are most of these young people trying to remedy?.... Add to that, the fact that hyaluronic acid is very hydrophilic.... Stress or a bad diet or hormones are only going to enhance that unnecessary extra fullness.
@@Uknown76they have never found filler in the lymph nodes. jfc. stop talking about things you don't know anything about.
@ look it up dummy
Doing some research about 3 years ago I’ve seen a video with Dr. Gavin Chan. Because of that video, I didn‘t get fillers… so scary!
Ive been getting fillers for many years. If you have volume loss, in some areas its really good. So long as youre Conservative. Otherwise you can wind up a total mess like some of these celebrities.
he still runs a clinic with multiple nurse injectors, clearly doesn't think it's that bad
I hate these videos because they make me feel bad for having filler. I have terrible body dismorphia and filler really helps me feel more confident about myself, that girl just makes anyone who has filler seem like insane people when that’s not the case, she thinks she’s better because she doesn’t have any but honestly who cares, if someone wants to get filler it’s their body their choice.
@@misssami4642and its very much dependent upon the person. some filler will dissolve and be absorbed by your body - that's the norm. its when people are filled too much or too often that the body can hang on to it.
Filler appointment tomorrow for undereye hollowing. I’m 42 and def love filler for loss of volume and sagging. Done moderately looks great
This video is not about how it looks on face and using it moderately
This video is not about how it looks on face and using it moderately
Your channel has helped me understand my own facial structure and how to optimize it with makeup and grooming rather than anything kind of cosmetic procedure. It’s definitely helped with some of my dysmorphia to know that these procedures are truly not 100% risk free. It’s also been so reassuring seeing how cosmetic procedures age with a person and realizing that my looks can really be very fluid throughout my life. It’s so nice to see someone in the field having frank, honest discussion about these procedures without trying to sell the broader audience on getting them

I had fillers done in Poland 4 years ago. I was CLEARLY informed that filler stays - migrates but stays, it could be dissolved but not easy. Then, 3 years ago I had fillers done in Spain, and the advice was exactly the same!
Why did they say that dissolving is not easy?
@@r.c.7779because it's your tissue being dissolved not the filler
I also was contemplating filler (in Spain) a couple of years ago, and was told about not just the risk of the dissolving enzyme but the recent research on longevity, migration, and even the tenuous link to potential immune system complications. It’s interesting which countries have adapted the same protocol.
That _is_ pretty interesting since a lot of Europe is not so strict about what fillers can be used. (At least that's how it was a billion years ago when I was in school, lol) I guess more regulation doesn't always mean they're actually out for your best interest....
@@r.c.7779 Just to add on to the previous commenter who responded to your question, because the hyaluronic acid your body naturally produces can also be dissolved.... It's a product to dissolve hyaluronic acid.... Which can lead to you losing some of your natural fullness & looking... "deflated".... essentially.
Just goes to show that if you give someone a microphone, video camera, and a social media platform, and suddenly they can record and post whatever they’re uneducated thoughts are, that other people somehow think they’re experts. That’s why I prefer to watch people like you Dr Linkov! Thanks for educating people with evidence and experience
Edit: lol some ya’ll have too much time on your hands
😂🤦🏽♀️
If they were spewing information baselessly sure but she does quote from doctors in the video
You have to be aware of who you're listening to. Look at the name and qualifications of the content creator.
I find the same with History topics I watch. There is some crazy stuff out there.
Idk, Doc didn't disagree with her on much. Brett is obviously more cynical about doctor motives than Dr. Link but that's to be expected. The only thing he truly pushed back on was the amount of regulation around fillers.
THE EVIDENCE?!? Rotflmao! Just like the VACCINES !! Give me a tucking break! How many jabs did you get!!
So so true , $3000 later , and this shit is in my face 2 years later , migrated and won’t go away and when you have blemishes it swells and never ever goes away just makes the infection worst .
@@evanosek562 sorry to hear. What filler did you get and how much? You feel like it has migrated?
Restylane migration for me nice lump under my right eye on the cheek 😢 done years ago and can’t seem to get a fix for the lump. Makes me went to hide in the house 😢
Hi, I had cheeks temples and lips , about year and half ago… about 4 syringes not sure , the lips are done with one miserable painful needle poke at a time , but of all I’d say lips are safest , they do for the most part dissolve , the rest not so much, everything they state in this video is true , it’s like a blanket of fluid in your face that migrates and puffs up over night and especially in heat waves .
I feel you, I have two sausages under my eyes, makes my eyes look sunk in and small and I have this wonderful lump on my temple where I had a scar , hoping this would even it out I opted for this out of desperation and it created a visible lump and it’s raw and won’t heal , wish I would have left it alone , but most people need to I guess try this to realize , I hope during the cold winter it settles but I do caution people against this , they will inject this crap anywhere to make money , and people are. Desperate and spend money they don’t have but the end result is just a puffed up face that doesn’t lift or correct lines , just adds to them when the fluid expands , a face lift would be needed but who has money for that , all this plastic surgery is not advanced it’s just a money grab .
Can you have it dissolved? That usually helps
Your calm methodical explanations are a great antidote to the alarmist commentary of this unbearable youtuber.
She sounds high strung lol
While I agree she sounds high strung, it’s no surprise that this guy is taking a “calm” approach- he’s obviously not going to throw himself under the bus, as he’s directly in the industry who has perpetrated fillers amongst many other things.
Agree
He's calmly telling you he isn't going to stop injecting filter.
my sister is a injector, and it pisses me sooo bad she does filler even to 18 years old girls She told me “shell go to another injector anyways”. How is going to end up that girl at 30? It disgusts me that there is no ethics anymore, just money matters for most of them! She keeps denying that it last longer or forever! Naaaasty
Making generation Z look 10 years OLDER,?!😢
Well as long as she tells her patients how filler actually works then it's not wrong that she injects filler. Filler can be useful and look good it just should never be a "every 6 month" treatment, that's insane.
when beauty industry had ethics? never heard of it.
@@hellequinm in case u didnt understand, we are talking about MEDICAL procedures, even if they have esthetic purposes. That requires ethical practices, such as inform patients that fillers NEVER go completely away.
@@CataBullR I was being ironic, anyways...
People forget how big their lips already are, they get lip blindness and keep overlining. At some point I wonder if all they want to see under their nose is lips. And I've never seen one that didn't get lumpy, we're so used to it now it's like all lips can be a bit lumpy when in fact it's mostly repeated filler. And they don't look from the side enough where you can see the filler lifting the whole mouth like a fish from bleed through around the mouth.
🤣This was a good comment. So true.
@@joannab1692 Even the ladies who naturally have large lips are overlining. I mean when is enough enough? The nails, the lashes, blush everything is maximal right now.
😂😂”all they want to see under their nose is lips” 🤣
You are so right about "lumpy." How in the world do people find that attractive?
@@jeanetteh.9240 I think they are too addicted to the fillers to worry about it, but even after dissolving them the scarring remains.
Dr Linkov is such a wealth of knowledge. It is wonderful to have good information about plastic surgery.
I used to have really bad acne so I was in and out of “medical spas” the acne turned to nurses pushing filler and Botox on me at 22 luckily I was extremely broke and didn’t even qualify for their credit card. I stopped going there and visited a dermatologist office only & the dr mentioned how droopy one side of my face is and asked if I sleep on that side. I said yes & she told me she could fix it with filler… I got to the point where I felt like I was extremely unattractive but I realized now that was never the case. They just saw a desperate shy young woman, I’m almost 30 now and good skin care and diet is keeping me looking on point!
Your explanations are always appreciated. Thank you❤
Nah, Kylie was both a victim and perpetrator. You can't tell me a 16 year old girl who got her lips done because the public and tabloids harrassed her and compared her constantly to her plastic sisters, was completely her fault. It was bad parenting and bullying, period. As an adult, it was her prerogative to get more work done but her wrong was lying about it and claiming to be natural thus influencing toxic beauty standards. But you can't tell me people would have stopped clowning her. The media when she was pregnant? Brutal. You can't expect celebrities to have a healthy mindset when they're so constantly bullied by people. I'll say it again, Kylie is both a victim and perpetrator.
Absolutely there's nothing wrong with plastic surgery but lying and pretending to just have had lip filler while you bought yourself a brand new appearance. That's what creates people bad reactions. Hence, people remindiing her how she looked in her natural state, which wasn't flattering for the camera and the publi
@@samantha6670 Actually, if you look back at it, she got plastic surgery because of constant bullying over her appearance. Her Kardashian sisters are a lot older than her so they had numerous procedures already as she was growing up. That influence on top of the public and media making it their prerogative to bully her, made her get plastic surgery. She was 16. People need to have some empathy for her. What she did as an adult with her continuous lies is her fault but no one, especially a teenage girl, deserved the kind of comments and bullying she received. Hence her being both a victim and perpetrator. Her natural self created "bad reactions" that eld to her changing her appearance and her naivety and lack of judgement made it worse. And besides, who gave anyone the right to "remind her" of her natural state? SHE WAS 16!! Why are we commenting on a 16 year old's appearance and then saying it's okay because she's done some wrong things? Ridiculous.
@sanjanat1085 That judgement stems from the sole fact that she's now pretenting and preaching being all natural. Hence, people remind her natural state. If she was a minimum honest without necessarily going into details just like by saying " yeah I had some work done throughout my teenage years to feel better about myself". I swear there wouldn't even have picture of her natural self online !
@@samantha6670 that’s just a ridiculous thing to assume. The media and public dogged on her natural self since she was a child, there would be pictures regardless lmao that’s just thoughtless critiquing on your end. Also, she did publicly admit to having work done and if you’d bother to check her full videos instead of snippets, you’d know she admitted to having work done and now she’s feeling insecure because no matter how she looks, people make it their business to shit on her. I never said she’s never done anything wrong, but to expect A-class behaviour from someone who’s been targeted for things she couldn’t control since childhood is wishful thinking and lowkey dehumanising these celebrities. The beauty standards she set were toxic but her plastic surgery results were only things people bullied her for not having. We set the standards, she carried it forward.
So let me get this straight-you’re blaming a celebrity for ‘toxic beauty standards’ just because she didn’t publicly announce every little thing she did to her body? That’s one of the most ridiculous arguments I’ve heard. People follow trends by choice; it’s not like Kylie Jenner is forcing anyone to get fillers.
And really, blaming her parents for this? Not everything a kid does is a direct result of how they were raised. Sometimes, kids make their own choices based on who they surround themselves with-especially in school, where parents have little control. It’s naive to think every decision a child makes can be pinned on "bad parenting”.
As for lying about fillers, let’s be real-it’s hardly the scandal you're making it out to be. People need to stop obsessing over what celebrities do to their own bodies and take responsibility for their own decisions. Acting like Kylie is responsible for how everyone else chooses to look is honestly embarrassing.
If more people knew how to think for themselves and actually apply critical thinking, we wouldn’t see arguments like this blaming celebrities for personal choices. Maybe you should give that a try sometime-it might save you from this level of gullibility.
The woman in the video is very.... Loud and sensationalizes things a lot. Somehow reminds me of Dot from The Animaniacs.
This made me laugh so hard. Dot was… a lot lmao
Did you know it NEVER WENT AWAY!!!!!? I don’t think she said it enough
I think she appears worse in this video because of the juxtaposition of her energy and Dr. Linkov's. He is so calm that her energy feels so much higher.
Saw her on a Mama Doctor John’s video spreading medical misinformation on birth control. The comment section was full of people who seriously needed birth control due to over bleeding and traumatic periods.
To be fair; the girl is part of Ben Shapiro’s group. She is a political pundit.
And obnoxious. You can tell it's about her opinion and less about facts. She keeps saying fillers don't dissolve, while the truth is that filler doesn't completely dissolve, moves around and also loves water, hence the fullness and it staying in the face.
The fact that people use filler thinking it will "fix" their appearance just to end up looking way worse is really sad
What is so disturbing about this trends, is that these women are naturally attractive and young. The signs of aging don’t appear at this young age. Their faces are naturally changing because they’re developing naturally. You’re supposed to get some lines in your face when you smile or frown etc. It’s just very disturbing to see all these young women destroying their faces. I’m in my 60s and I i’m seeing some of these women in 10 years from now regretting these decisions. In addition, isn’t there anything else they can do with her money rather than injecting it in their face? There are literally people starving all over the world, the same people are dumping their animals and shelters etc. buying cups of coffee that cost $45 apiece. We’re really in sad trouble here and people need to wake up.
At least filler can be reversed.
@@ghostratsarahCan be reversed but the chemical used to dissolve filler also degrades healthy facial fat which can make you look older and deflated.
Nature wins
I’ve got filters for years and it’s undetectable. I do it naturally and gradually
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called The 21 Former doctor secrets by Rachel Morgan. It has been censored.
Thanks for sharing it Finn!

She's paid to be extreme and make major controversy out of the smallest thing
She is quite annoying. Dr Linkov, you are amazing.

She’s just animated, she’s not yelling 🙄 if a man talked like her you wouldn’t say crap about it
Crazy that people under 50 and 40 think that they need to mess with their face/bodies this way.
Wait until they hit over 50 and they will freak out.
Right
They lived a life
They should know better
They may be dealing with the teen anguish of their children and grands and give THEM emotional support and reassurance they are OK
Girls as young as 16-17 were getting lip filler in my school .. cos their parents/friends work as injectors and its really easy to get a certificate for it
You know I see more girls in their 20s having botox and fillers like crazy. They all look older to me
@@mary_vakarian4289it ages them so much, especially if they're too young to need it. I've seen girls in their 20's that I would have guessed were in their 40's!
Hi Dr Linkov
What about sculptra??? Since it’s a bio stimulator does it also continue to stimulate and over grow? Would like a video on that.
Yes PLEAAASE. Im in deep depression cause of a radiesse botch (that I never asked for in the first place). Kills me not knowing if the volume created ever actually goes away. And literally NO one has an answer
@@Saibu-uo4ts no it will migrate , I’m sorry to tell you this , you will notice the fluid build up when you have a blemish and it will literally swell and expand with heat, it’s awful and you can’t get rid of it , the dissolver can ruin your face even more.
@@evanosek562, not true.
The dissolver, if administered by a professional, can get rid of it without ruining your face.
It’s coming out that sculpture and other bio stimulators are causing immune problems more than hyaluronic acid fillers.
@@Saibu-uo4tsI think it does go away actually... my friend had a sculptra butt lift and she has to get it redone again. I think if not touched up it will eventually go away
She raises valid concerns but the loud and sensational style is off putting
about what you're saying around minute 7:00: ... but... if "at the beginning they don't have too much information...etc, etc." why were those products approved? Wouldn't they wait until they knew long time effects? Until they gathered all the data? Were'nt they released too early and just because there was a market for them? I think she's right on this one! This industry has no scruples, there's not going around that fact. Even honest people like you have to deal with a system that is itself corrupt.
Because they would need to wait 40 years to get all of that data. That's unrealistic. Drugs are released all of the time before long term effects are known.
sigo en castellano que me es más fácil: de vuelta, minuto 9:53, dice ella "esta información ya estaba disponible hacía como un año y así y todo los doctores jamás les avisaron a sus pacientes y les hacían volver para seguir inyectándose... para mí es muy claro que ahí hay un causal de demanda... alguien metió la pata... o la misma industria falló en comunicarle a los profesionales del nuevo descubrimiento o los doctores fueron informados pero decidieron seguir pasando factura... alguien tiene que pagar!
That is just not how the FDA drug approval process works. All medications undergo rigorous safety testing. FDA approval happens after Phase 3 studies, usually studied on thousands of patients on a time span of several months to years. The FDA grants approval but still follows post market studies (Phase 4) to ensure that the medicine still is safe and effective in real life scenarios, amongst many more people than can be enrolled in a Phase 3, over a longer span of time. Phase 3s are randomized controlled studies - which means there’s a treatment arm and a control arm - and involve strict monitoring which is great but obviously not possible over a decade long span.
It’s also dubiously ethical given it would delay the approval of potentially life saving medications that have already been validated.
If results are not as expected in Phase 4, the FDA has numerous mechanisms from black box warnings up to withdrawal of approval to account for differences in real life vs a clinical testing scenario.
It was created for people with scars and actual deformities. It wasn’t meant for mass consumption for people who need an ego boost. Some of the people in the comments are saying they had ready bad scars from acne and that’s why they got it, they don’t regret it because they don’t over do it
Make money now, sell them a “cure” later
Can you make a video on the pros and cons of dissolving filler? PLEASE
Im glad Dr Gary you are a honest man & tell people the truth. God bless you.
Anyone who reminds people that plastic surgery is surgery and therefore a serious proceedure is welcome. America does seem a place where being able to pay for a procedure is justification for doing it
And I see so many adverts about these procedures only using the time it is to take a lunch
God, too true.
As a woman in her mid 30s with no filler or Botox (yet) I have a real issue with these young zoomers going online and judging people for getting fillers or Botox or any work done period. Girl you don’t know who you’re going to be in 20-30 year. I’m sure once you start seeing sagging and wrinkles on your face you will be happy to get whatever procedures are available to you.
Thank you for saying this. It needs to be said.
Amen to that ❤
💯
Get therapy instead and stay off of social media
Older than you no Botox or fillers and I appreciate her warning people it does not dissolve, it migrates and causes other issues. She cites a doctors tiktok and Dr Gary backs the info.
The real issue with millennials is the generation seems incapable of understanding when others don’t agree with you or give in to your point.
I hope for your sake you don’t go for injections, facial yoga exists and it’s free ;)
I love filler. However, over the years I have used it INCREDIBLY sparingly. Beauty channels will show the faces of the same three messed up celebrities warning people that 'this is what filler does!' No. This is what a heavy-handed doctor can do to a patient who is asking for a large amount of filler.
You didn't listen properly, hyaluronic acid binds water, over time the volume can more than double where the hyaluronic acid is (or has migrated to). That's why the moon faces become more visible over time.
@@Laura_Stern If you only use a tiny tiny amount when doing touch ups it should be fine. Like for exemple only use 1ml for both cheekbones. Fillers are never been made to create bones but to plump area where you did lost volume.
I think it’s too soon to say about the side effects of using filler as when you are so young you don’t know how your face will handle it over the next 10,20,30 years.
Or even someone with alot of money and lack of self awareness. Which alot of celebrities have, obsessive over their faces too. If youre using it sparingly you should be okay. & the thiner fillers, they go away. Its the thicker ones, Ive noticed have way more staying power.
I'm seeing many people in the comments saying "It's fine after a certain age"... this is not about physical appearance, its about health. This is NOT healthy, it blocks the lymphatic system so you cannot detoxify. This causes cancer. Even if you're 80, don't use filler.
I’d like to know what further investigation of Ozempic is going to tell us. Currently, it’s THE wonder drug.
I saw a news headline the other day saying it may help reduce aging in addition to the weight loss. This will drive even more people to use it for looks instead of health
@@OliviaFinley-p7wonly dumb lefties will take Ozempic
@@OliviaFinley-p7wo gosh 😂, ppl will use something just to look a bit younger. They’re using ppl as test subjects.. time will tell 😠
GLP-1 has been in wide use for over a decade, and the benefits far outweigh the downsides if used as directed. Additional data is showing benefits beyond just weight loss, including heart disease and kidney disease, reducing type 2 diabetes risk, and Alzheimers.
Reducing sugar intake could also help w those things @@esears3996
I’m purchasing your HA serum soon. Seems to be reasonably priced well and good amount of reviews. I trust your knowledge and expertise. ❤
Thanks! You'll enjoy it.
I think filler can be great. There are deformities that have be greatly improved with fillers and good Dr's will not over fill.
Hyaluronic fillers are the problem. They are not absorbed as is generally said, but rather they migrate around the face. They do not stay where they were injected, they settle somewhere else. That is the problem, but people are led to believe that they are completely broken down by the cosmetic industry.
Are you telling deformed people they should 'improve' themselves? That they would be 'better' if they got fillers?
I think you maybe didn't understand the video about migrating fillers and unknown long-term effects of those fillers. There are new studies about possible cancer risk of fillers, too (still debated back and forth). Which would be not surprising, because injecting something in the body will most likely piss of the immune system.
Nah the migrate so the face looks different as it doesn't stay in original injection site.
Doctor Linkow, which filler is safe and recommended (alternative to hyaluron)? Please give us alternatives. I always thought my own fat was the best alternative, but as you said, that's not true either.
Sometimes the own fat evaporates and people have to do it multiple times
I’m 32 and I’m absolutely NOT getting fillers. I swear by having a good, healthy diet, sleep, hydration, using SPF and avoiding the sun, having a good skincare routine and getting a facial once a month. If even celebrities and influencers with all their money and access end up looking… not great after filler, no way I’m getting my face pumped just around the corner.
You’re only 32. If all it took was sunscreen and face wash, etc. people wouldn’t be getting filler. Celebrities have too much money and filler is pennies to them. That’s likely why they end up getting too much and looking weird. For average people, it’s a splurge. You’d probably be surprised how many ordinary people have had it. Not everyone ends up looking bad. But hey do what you want with your face. Just letting you know that 32 isn’t really old enough normally for your face to start losing volume.
@@earthlunatics9145 Well said. I'm so sick of 32 -35-year-olds talking about fillers, Botox, cosmetic procedures, and menopause. These women literally shoot so called expert videos on menopause when their moms have been through it, not them. So annoying! I am 49, almost 50. The generation younger WILL get fillers and Botox as they are generally not aging well and not taking great care of themselves. Most of the 32 year old youtubers that make money have loads of filler and Botox.
This woman is very difficult to listen to. She's annoying and barely out of her 20''s with no worries at this TIME. Just wait, honey. Just you wait. :)
At 32 you don’t need it , young skin has HA in our bodies naturally
I considered filler, after watching this video I no longer do. I'll try a dermapen instead (and just had my first microneedling session). The people deserve to know about the risks, thank you so much for educating us.
@VictorianCosmeticInstitute covered this a long time ago. Not new that filler travels.
Always loved Dr. Gavin's videos. 👍
I'm 71. I have using filler very judiciously for about 2 and a half years to kind of correct a couple places I would prefer to look better. I love my filler, and don't think I will noticeably see some of these "horrors".
Have you had filler to address nasolabial folds? That’s what I want.
Fillers should NEVER be used for people under 55
Volume loss occurs long before 55. Sag also occurs some time before. If you think that aging starts at 55, you've been fooled by social media.
Same I love mine too, got rid of my joules and tear through, I will never stop getting them
@@mymayapapayai have and it makes such a difference
Filler NEVER goes away.
I love the way you give your observations without judgement, you have a very easy going way to explain.
I started getting fillers about 20 years ago at 46. Switched to Sculptra about six years ago. Wont be doing HA fillers and never doing lips again. Thankfully my plastic surgeon is very conservative. I am now preparing for lower face and neck surgery. Im very happy with how I look and feel lucky. Im glad i started in my forties. My one regret is lip filler. Ive had MRI’s for an inner ear issue….not sure if they saw filler in my face!!! One tip that i highly suggest is look at photos when
your very young and embrace
your face structure…..use youvery young face as a guide of how you look naturally and use that. Dont try to be somebody else.
This woman has no deeper education on this subject than anyone with access to the internet - Tik Tok “news”- but she’s got the certainty of someone who would yell you down about the earth being flat. It’s amazing people can tolerate her tone for longer than it takes to click off. I really like hearing medical professionals explain things on a more expansive level. TikTok does not seem a responsible format for this type of information.
Dunning-Krueger effect
Yet the doctors TikTok and Dr Gary proves her correct. Crazy you’re finding sides to scientific facts like fillers migrate and are never 100% removable
Dr. Linkov, if a patient gets PRF (“natural filler”) taken from the patient’s body then injected into the face as a filler, will it have the same effect as synthetic filler by migrating and never completely dissolving? It absorbs back into the body, right or wrong? Perhaps avoid fillers altogether or just get it sparingly.
PRP is not a filler. It absorbs completely. 😊
@@lanal9330Thank you!!😊
@@lanal9330that's different then PRF
Your voice is so soothing. Thank you for your channel
Dr Gary Linkov your skin looks great!! 😊
Dr Gary Lingov, I’m very close to many doctors and nurses. I do pay attention to current affairs. Thank you for being honest about your profession!
I lost 70lbs in my 30s and it left my face a bit deflated and droopy looking. I’ve done a few ml of filler across my cheeks and have no regrets. But i also knew there were risks and the benefits for me were worth it. Informed consent is so important!
I love how well spoken and informative you are, Doctor! Thank you 🙏
Thank you for taking the time to explain this information!
I just got my lip filler dissolved yesterday. When I got it dome in 2019, I was told it'll get dissolved on its own. I got it done 2 more times and really liked the results. But it made me have a little top shelf over my top lip, due to the filler migration. I miss my lips now but glad to have my natural ones back. I am sure I need a few more weeks to see the results but they seem to look good. My eyes are not used to them, just yet. I wouldn't advise anyone to get the filler done, because, in all reality, it will never fully disappear. Oh, another thing I did like, when waking up, my lips would always look bigger, due to retention of water.
MRI has been around since the 1980's, why couldn't they scan and see if injectables were dissolving??
@@JohnSmith-sj2dk cause there's no money in it for them
@@Saibu-uo4ts Yeah, it was a rhetorical question tbh, so much repeat business for them all with the "HA is natural and absorbed by the body in 6 months " schtick.
The MRIs today are incomparable to the MRIs of old. They are so advanced and can do so much more.
I'm not sure what time trials for particular fillers were done, but it's possible that they didn't have the technology. It's also possible that they used smaller and less frequent doses so most of the filler did dissolve. Some people get a ton of filler so that sticks around longer. Also if you get it in areas that don't move as much it tends to stay longer.
Does she think she is performing a public service? It seems that she is not trafficking in education and information so much as fear mongering and outrage for profit. It's like she's heard shock jocks and decided it was an easy way for her to make money and that behaviour is quickly going out of fashion, thankfully.
I can understand why she is annoying to people but I didn't hear the Doc push back on most of what she said. Maybe her performance is exaggerated but her information doesn't appear to be incorrect, at least based on this Dr.'s reaction to it
How many Covid jabs did you get?!! And I bet you believe KAMALA was ELECTED and she was soooo popular
Brett is a rightwing grifter. It's why she said the medical industry isn't regulated when it's THE most heavily regulated.
@@davida4007 Well to be fair, the pharmaceutical industry finances about 75 percent of the FDA's drug division, which is a blatantly perverse incentive structure.The medical industry is corrupt in many areas. Big Pharma didn't get it's name for nothing; it's big business. And big business is easily corruptible, simply bc of the gigantic amount of money flowing to and from companies, regulators, doctors, insurance companies, etc. Let's not pretend that we don't know this. We have decades of examples of pharma and FDA hurting consumers bc of profit; the opiate crisis with companies like Purdue and the FDA's complicity being the most notable. But a cursory Google search will bring up decades of troubling issues in the medical industry and their ostensible "regulators." This shouldn't be a political issue. In fact, this is an issue that the left used to rightly harp upon in decades prior. But unfortunately, both political parties are captured by corporate interests and big pharma is one of biggest of those groups.

My lip filler lasted a long time. I only touched it up after 4 years. I didn’t even realize how small my lips had gotten until I took a before and after picture 😂
A male using lip filler?
@@tw6109 yeah, it looks natural. I got veneers so I wanted my lips to look proportional to my new teeth.
@@tw6109DONT hate us cuz we’re Joestars.
*pose*
@@tw6109you’ll get over it.
Nothing wrong with men using lip filler too. I bet you look great
this video is so beautifully made... this is honest and real, thank you for using your platform for spreading education
The last time i had my lips done was around 8 years ago with Juvederm ultra. My lips are still full. They have lost volume, of course, but have never returned back to their original size as yet.
Same girl. Same lol
Same for me. I was filling them regularly until two year ago but they never go away.
@foxearx , it's pretty crazy !!!! My doctor thinks that even though you can't see it that scar tissue can grow around fillers if your lips are traumatised by the needle if done many times.
Kinda a blessing in disguise for me. I've had my lips injected quite a while ago as well ... and they're STILL fuller than my old ones. They look plump enough that I don't twant more. So not only have I not needed to get more filler, I'm very happy with the longevity and may never get more filler again because I'm still satisfied with them!
Funny to hear somebody like Brett Cooper complaining about lack of regulation.
I honestly thought she would be against that.
I got filler over a year ago now and still don’t need anymore in my lips, sheesshhhh. I still love it though and will continue to get it (: the thing you want to make sure you do is your research.
That’s what informed consent is all about. Glad you love it
I'm not sure how every single injector isn't aware that this stuff lasts much longer than they say? I had my mid-face, nasolabial folds and lips done. I have had 6 syringes over the last two to three years. I noticed recently my nasalabial fold area is very puffy. I haven't had anything injected there in about a year and a half but I can still feel all of it there when I put my finger and my mouth. I had that area injected 3 times. The injector said it was such a small amount that was put in the time prior and they didnt think it was from the filler. I said it was my belief that all of the filler from before was still there and they looked at me like I was crazy! I knew i was right.
the emptier, the louder. she got a part of it right, but many of her claims and conclusions are to create outrage for views.
leave scientific / medical content to scientists / physicians.
This is just what political pundits do, she in particular, is right wing. This is why people call her the Female Shapiro. 🤷🏻♀️
I love your channel, I don’t have fillers or plastic surgery, and no interest in doing so, however I find you channel interesting and fascinating.
If they don't like fillers, then don't get them. Yes all the information should be available and transparent... But I get my lips filled a few times a year, I love it. It's my choice what I do with my body and I'm aware I can dissolve them if I choose to. Why are these women getting so upset about what other people choose to do with their own body.
I use a lot of acids and tretinoin to keep my skin youthful and I love my Lawless forget the filler lip mask. I’ve heard people trash those products too. 🤷🏻♀️
I personally don’t care what other ladies do. I enjoy a natural look while others love enhancements.
I’m a natural skeptic so as tempted as I was, I am so glad I never started with fillers. In my mind I thought long and hard about when we’ve seen fillers done well, and it’s always with the super wealthy celebrities, and sometimes they get botched too..: They’re not going to what ever suburban beauty spa I can afford and I very rarely see everyday people with lip filler for example that doesn’t make them look like a Simpsons character. And the fact that you have to continue to do it or your face will look deflated, sounds like an absolute racket.
I immediately think of reality stars Darcey and Stacey… They don’t have anything close to an A List celebrity’s bank accounts, so they have to resort to doing promos for free treatments, flying to poor countries to maintain the work they’ve done and they were beautiful women when they first started with the treatments and now they look like horrifying science projects gone wrong.
When fillers were used off label and when they were approved 2 dozen years ago, they told the public they last 6-12 months, but this was not true. They didn't know I guess, but whether it was ignorance or intentional, it doesn't change the end result.
They never did long-term term studies. The people were part of the trial that they didn't know they were in. Them not knowing before is not an excuse. Even though info finally came out a few years ago, it wasn't common knowledge for most women getting it. The lady is right, most medical providers didn't tell people even after they knew! Not everyone is like Dr. L unfortunately.
I'm not even into aesthetic work and all and even I've known that fillers don't dissolve for YEARS. Brett & the girl whose video she is sharing's opinions are pretty shallow compared to the abstract convos that can be had. Thanks Dr for adding some brain cells to this whole convo lol
I guess the plastic surgeon and spa office is pretty shallow because they all told me it dissolved as well…
Props to whoever edited this video. Playing thins lady at speed x2 is a total win. Nobody will notice the difference while Doctor Linkov has more minutes to give explanations. Brilliant✨
As a person whose been getting injected for many many years, use it wisely. Use it scarcely and do not use this products unless you are experiencing serious deepening of lines, shadows and significant forms of ageing- 30s- 40s and 50s. Because honestly the young girls I see with this are just really doing damage. ITs made to plump areas that have lost volume. I get one syringe every two years or so. Ive had my mid face dissolved before, it was horrifying, it absolutely kills your natural HA and so Dr. Linkov is absolutely correct. Its really not an easy way to remove it. I think that starting to care for your skin, using other devices like micro currents- etc can help. However fillers can really work wonders until you're ready for a facelift. Theyre not going away, no amount of lymphatic drainage issues are gonna stop women from trying to look youthful. Youth is Capital in this country. But being knowledgeable about what you are putting into your body, is key. This could also push for a better products to be made on the market, so Long as people and doctors are challenging the longevity of these products, their safety, etc.
Can you please share your experience of dissolving it? I am 33 and want to get my lip filler removed
@@loradimitrova9558 Costs about 200$ depending. The natural borders of your mouth should contain the HA remover from spreading. I had it placed in my mid face a few years ago. Lips are much better results when dissolved. However if youve had the filler for long, if you have them quite filled it can leave your lips wrinkled and stretched, but lips look way better when dissolved than face.
Beauty industry is very shady and omits a lot of things from patients. Today most women still don’t know that they should exchange breast implants every 10 years!!
Why are girls in their early 20s getting filler anyway, they dont need it. Its a waste of money for them. Fillers are for us oldies who need help and i like that it sticks around, given my skin is only going to get thinner with age, i will need the volume.
Open your eyes bro
@@XOXO-eo5vu a, im not a bro im probably older than your mother so speak to me with respect or not at all b, your comment makes absolutely no sense
@@clararob9869Sorry bro I dont understand old people gibberish
@@Y2Loud oh are you gen z, are you super lonely. Dont you have any friends at all and definitely no gf to shag 👀 well bro i do 😂 this old person is off to hang out with real humans, and then meet my young guy for a bit of fun 😉, enjoy talking 💩 to strangers on the internet in order for you feel like you have some kind of connection 😘
Exactly...
I think going to the right doctor is the most important. Because some people actually don’t need it. They have already a lot of volume in their face, but I think for people that have a sunken face, even after 10-20 years their face still looks pretty good. You can’t just get multiple syringes in a year. I think it’s a lot about self-control.
I am not entirely convinced that Chrissy Teigan has facial fillers, but has probably had just about everything else done. I naturally have full cheeks, much like hers, and I've been accused of having fillers on several occasions. I would never get that buccal fat removal surgery, but the irony is that the one thing I would change about my face is to make my cheeks just a little less full.
Pffft, girl. Come on 😂 did you not see the same face we all saw??
Brett Cooper is young and a bit exuberant at times, that's true. That said, she is very worth listening to with strong, honest points of view. She's NOT Woke, which I truly appreciate.
There are new studies suggesting that fillers might heighten cancer risk (still debated back and forth, time will tell I guess). Which would not be surprising at all.
Love your videos, not even into plastic surgery for myself, your medical assessments, along with your care and concern are awesome!
I use hyaluronic acid serum on my skin. It has worked great. Have used it for years with a good moisturizer. I have no wrinkles and a good jawline. I 'm 71. I read about it in a Mayo Clinic article; a Floridian who loved sun, I could see damage and so went looking. My first bottles were really expensive, around 99.00; ultimately I found one for around 15.00, use it morning and night. The results have been amazing, and I can't understand why you'd inject it as a filler. It works great as a topical!
It works in different ways. Hyaluronic acid used topically attracts moisture to the surface of the skin which makes it look a bit plumper. Your body also makes HA which plumps your tissues from the inside, but your body makes less of it as you get older. Some people counteract this by injecting medical grade HA (definitely not the type you apply externally) close to the surface of the skin in a mesotherapy technique to give it some bounce (this is Profhilo and similar products). The thing is, your body breaks down and excretes regular HA from your skin, so HA filler has molecules that are bonded to each other (crosslinked) to slow down the body's attempts to get rid of it. Filler is thick and gloopy and is used to create volume and features such as restoring shrunken cheek fat pads or make a jawline more sculpted.
There are two different types of HA. Reticulated and non-reticulated. The non-reticulated are absorbed by the skin and are used topically as humectant.
Thank you for posting this. I've only had fillers twice and this is terrifying information.
I'd rather listen to Dr. Linkov..
But I’ve noticed a visible change in my facial structure/appearance after about 8-12 months post injecting filler. There is a definite revision and dissolving over time. My filler does not expand with time.
@@cmm867 you sure it's not "filler blindness"?
Bret likes to make everything so extreme I can't. Thank you for your professional and expert reaction.
She's correct though.
she's the typical insufferable teenager/young adult who knows it all and is always extreme and jumps from high to high
she's either going to grow out of this annoying phase (hopefully) or become yet more insufferable as a full adult (please no).
I dont listen to teenagers/young adults points of view about anything outside their age range and minute life experience. This topic is outside her reach.
that combined with her extremely annoying voice and way of presenting, I'm avoiding this girl like the plague
Bret gets featured in a Mama Doctor John’s video about birth control pill misinformation.
The comment section was filled with people who have severe periods that can turn deadly.
@@ReaperWithHips what does any of this have to do with Bret's insufferable voice and personality? She's annoying regardless
@@NgG-g2n It’s about more medical stuff and issues. Sometimes political pundits spread misinformation. It’s good to pay attention to when they are right and when they are wrong.
I find her unbearable 😣
Same here voice is so annoying
She's a very obnoxious right-wing grifter. Nothing to admire about her except the lack of spine. Of course her outrage is correct in this case.
because she's Republican?
Love Dr. Linkov but I’m struggling to get through this because of her. Particularly the back and forth clips. His voice is so soothing and hers is so agressive that I feel like I’m submitting myself to something akin to water torture. Children screaming online about their TikTok wisdom gives me anxiety.
@@yennefer440just like KAMALA’s LAUGH ?!!
With the word "lasts" something always told met that that meant the effect of the filler, not the filler itself... idk. It's the one thing I haven't quite jumped to get yet. Thanks for your video.
I truly hate this girl shouting into the microphone. Also idgaf what someone in their 20s feels about fillers etc.
Doc 🤚 i heard you can break down filler with hifu. Is that true ?
Your explanations and voice are so calming…. I could use you for anxiety!
