Thank God You Are Well. Your happy And You Have A GREAT MARRIAGE ♥️ I Can’t Wait Until You Both Have Your Own Children. We Have Been Married 53 Yrs. But It’s my Fault I Couldn’t Give My Husband Children. LOVE TO YOU BOTH.
Back in the TH-cam renaissance I used to watch sooo many channels. Now, you are one of (if not the ONLY one from that time) I still watch today. I’m so grateful to be getting these story times from you again, and SOOOO grateful nothing terrible happened to you from this experience. Also big respect for sharing and spreading awareness on something that has such horrible potential outcomes. Love you so much Gigi, stay gorgeous 🤗💖
I hope you receive a thorough ultrasound and get the remaining silicone completely excised, if possible. The danger to your health has not gone away, not as long as any loose product remains in you. :(
It is extremely difficult to have any of that silicone removed, I believe, I’ve only seen it in breasts and it’s pretty much just there to stay now because it’s tiny little pieces spread throughout all of your breast tissue and no real way to go and retrieve it in any safe or practical way. Not exactly sure if there are bigger pieces when doing the butt or not but I would assume it’s similar and unless you liposuction all of the silicone and your normal tissue out with it I’m not sure what you could do.
This is very true :( I do know that given it being in the thighs, hips and buttocks, it may be easier to remove than the breasts. I hope she sees this comment and gets an ultrasound immediately.
@@catherinedownie5824 Hi Catherine. I have many silicone removal videos on my page. I truly hope she gives me a call to consider removal because after migration, it only gets worse.
Hey Gigi, thank you so much for letting us know your story about silicone injections, I am sure you just helped millions of people stopping because of your story! I love you and I am so thankful that you are back to making videos on youtube! I have missed you a lot! Much love!
thank u so much for your honesty mother we love u!! this is something so few ppl talk about as openly as u just did but ppl, esp t girls, need to know what its really like and what theyre getting into because more and more people are doing it
I know Lisa, she also pumped in Dallas Texas, she uses silicone oil, which is not permanent. Most people want permanency and became very upset with Lisa when the results would gradually fade. Silicone oil is not illegal in the states, and is some times used by board certified certified plastic surgeons, not to minimize any danger involved, but it does get filtered out of your body. Most people want permanent results and Lisa’s weren’t unfortunately or fortunately depending on the person.
I missed you so much Gigi you’re videos are making my 2023 mean so much. I cannot wait for more of you, I love you and I will stay gorgeous until next time ⭐️
Even to this day after watching gigi from the first day, this storytime video took me right back to where everything started, and i loved it. This type of video and your words and body language these are the best story time videos🫶🏼
Pump party stories are my favorite. Thank you for sharing! We need more awareness for this! So many of the most popular trans influencers have been pumped! Some dont talk about it but it is VERY obvious Miss Dragun
I’ve only ever heard Eve The Doll, I think her name is, come out about her experience. Why do I recall Nikita being part of that story? I’m not sure if she was, though, I feel like it has been made known Nikita partook in these parties, as well.
What a terrifying experience! I’m glad you’re ok! And somewhere, someone is wondering what they cleaned up all those years ago in the bathroom 😂 Quite a few years ago I heard about people going to Botox parties and I thought they were insane
I am assuming you must under 30 correct? Because as someone whomis 34 I am more shocked that botox partys are still happening because those partys we're all the rage in the 00's but after too many complications & botch jobs a lot of these folks we're rightfully sued so a lot pf these party's we're put to a stop. Now I guess from the sounds of it they gone deeper underground to avoid jail time they know they could face along with being sued..
I love your story time videos I’ll never forget when I first started watching you and the cleaning maid you hired broke your glass shower door I was hysterical 🤣😭
Sculptra is not a filler. What‘s injected is a lactic acid that activates a process in the body to produce collagen. First all looks filled up, „pumped“ around the injected area from the water that is brought in with the active ingredient, that only lasts a few hours tough, until it is absorbed. During the 4-6following weeks, the collagen production will slowly filling the injected area and firming the skin a bit. The effect is visible but not huge, it‘s rather minor but at least quite safe if done by a professional and I‘m talking of the face here. You can do it on face, decolleté, legs legally as far as I know. I‘m no professional, so don‘t take this info as advice please! Always research well, deep dive into all the info that is available AND consult a med. professional with specialized training in esthetic medical procedures please! Damage following bad Dr‘s procedures often aren’t reversible! So be hesitant if sth seems off. Never rush into cosmetic procedures, even legal ones, bc you‘re doing sth medically unneccessary and your body always can react in an unexpected way, even if all is done professionally!
So glad you've done this video to inform the younger trans girls not to make the same mistakes - they have so many more options today than before. Liza is a sweetheart and a legendary character in the community but the last I heard she saw the effects it was having and has stopped pumping the girls she's a nurse now so in the end everyone has had a happy ending 💗💗💗
@@youtubeacc That does not matter if it is a health emergency. She did not inject the sil herself, and I know many women have been known to seek medical intervention for the negative affects it has on the body.
Thank you for sharing! I work for a plastic surgeon, Dr. Jeremy Nikfarjam- one of the only US silicone removal specialists in the country. We see so many people victimized by pumpers. We want to bring this out of the shadows so people DON'T get illicit silicone and offer real treatment for those who have.
A New York hotel is probably the most unhygienic place in the first world. You're taking a chance drinking a glass of water there much less having an "operation." You got lucky, Gigi. Be careful!
Jesus Christ Gigi! Please please be safe if doing any procedure again. You need nothing darling, you are absolutely stunningly beautiful. If it says it's illegal, don't do it people. Use your mind.
Without intention to ask any uncomfortable questions, what did you do about the stuff still in your body after that last visit/"rolling out" experience?
It’s probably still there, you can’t remove silicone from the body unless it’s with surgery. And when they do that, they’ll usually have to take out the surrounding tissue. People who have had this done and then removed will end up with a smaller butt than what they began with. It’s really sad. A lot of people don’t want to have it removed for this reason.
You are brilliant to share this. You are informing girls how dangerous this procedure can be. I watched your veneers video. Can I ask have you ever had any subsequent issues with your veneers? I got 4 on my front top teeth and like you my veneer next to my front tooth popped off with a sandwich. Omg the anxiety. I only have 4 of the things. I'm still so anxious about them. Any advice how I can get over this? I'd be a nervous wreck if I had a full mouth done.
You definitely had an angel watching out over you ! I cannot imagine you in that situation . The bathroom. OMG ! I would have freaked out and had an ambulance come and pick me up. I’m serious. LOL ! But I’m glad everything worked out for you and you do look STUNNING !❤
Just found your channel(due to People magazine announcing your embryo development success- HUGE Congrats!! 🎉). Now I’m obsessed. I’m a cis female who finds you so inspiring and engaging. Love your openness and willingness to share your life journey. You are stunningly gorgeous and ridiculously cute!!! Love your videos and wishing you and Nats continued joy and success in all things!! Love from Tennessee 🩷🩷
I also had it done around the same time but just once and it still looks good but I wanna take it out. Are you planning on removing the silicone?? Bc sooner or later we have to anyway
Oh my gosh!!! This made my butthole draw up in a knot!!!! I could almost feel that damn needle!!! Im so sorry you had to go through that!!! I love you sweet girl❤
Wait, so is it still in there? Does your body eventually expel it over time somehow? Did you go to a real doctor to get it fixed? I have so many questions lol
Hi gorge I love you so much!! You have helped me in so many ways. I hope I can meet you one day. Thanks for being here for us. You are beautiful inside and out. Love you Gigi 🧡👻🖤
I think I may kno who the “trainer” is. “Lisa” may be the girl that did a lot of my friends. Supposedly her silicone wuz good until about 10/15 years ago. I heard she got on drugs real bad and started “mixing” her stuff. She used to get her silicone from a doctor, I do remember that. Cuz back in the early 2000’s I almost got injections. I wuz literally waiting to be injected and changed my mind. Some of my friends have even started taking it out. That’s crazy ur friend brought her own silicone. She wanted to “test” Lisa’s silicone on you! Not a good friend!!!!
Oh Gigi, you are so strong for having survived all of this. I can’t imagine going through anything like this myself without losing my entire mind. I think that “Trainer” Lisa chick definitely fckd you over real bad. Obviously she used an extra large needle to make her job easier and inject more silicone faster. And she definitely used way less product because unlike your friend who brought her own silicone, this chick was using her own concoction so she skimped on it. Whatever it is Gigi, I’m so grateful you came out alive and safe. 🤍
Im so glad tht ur okay but dont u think maybe u should go get it check with the doctor? I heard that if theres more procedures done to the butt area might cause a lot of infection and specially it rolled out through ur thighs seems like emergency check up for me 😢
Gigi! 😢 I’m hitting pan on my last blush from your line and I just found out it’s discontinued. RIP to my and my partners favorite blush, they use it for their drag performances. Does anyone know any dupes for shade authentic?🤞
Nikita, Eden, Yasmine petty, Sonique and Kerri Colby they all had that silicone pumped, but how come they still look fine with their booty/hips? I still wanna get that done 🫣
I love that you shared how you would never do it again but still did it again. That is a tale not often told but something we're all guilty of.
I'm so happy you're making story time videos again, it takes me way back and makes me feel safe, you know like pre 2020 :)
awwww that just made me so happy ❤
Thank God You Are Well. Your happy And You Have A GREAT MARRIAGE ♥️ I Can’t Wait Until You Both Have Your Own Children. We Have Been Married 53 Yrs. But It’s my Fault I Couldn’t Give My Husband Children. LOVE TO YOU BOTH.
Agreed
@GigiGorgeous You're beautiful and feminine you don't need that crap! Woman to woman don't change a thing! ❤
@@GigiGorgeous Don't stop now Gigi, come on :) Keep going :)
My jaw dropped when you started squeezing the silicone out of your body. Ohhh my God. Gigi 😭 I'm so glad you're okay
NO SHAME. Shame is a culture weapon that is used to suppress and repress people. Thanks for speaking up!!!!! So important. You are the best.

These storytimes are so nostalgic for me!
I've seen so many girls get hurt by this! thank you for sharing your experience with it!
I just love how you are so humble and have actually lived the life. You actually helped me when I detransitioned get my life back. Thankyou

So glad u spoke about this. Fingers crossed people will see this and it will save alot of unnecessary harm to others X x x
I feel like it’s 2014-2015 again watching your videos !!!! :’) 💖
I’ve seen a trainer like this and I regret it to this day. I had mine in Key West but it was a similar story. I’ve had complications since.
thank u so much for your honesty mother we love u!! this is something so few ppl talk about as openly as u just did but ppl, esp t girls, need to know what its really like and what theyre getting into because more and more people are doing it
This is so so so scary! I’m so glad you’re okay.
OMG I never would have guessed you got silicone injections. I’m so glad you weren’t seriously harmed by them.

You’re highly MISTAKEN. Silicone is VERY permanent and doesn’t dissolve in the body. It has to be CUT out of you.

I’m just thinking of whoever had to clean all the silicone off the bathroom floor…
I miss your story times!!! ❤
Keep up the storytimes! Those were the days ❤️
the queen of story times returns!
that literally had my jaw DROPPING when you said you squeezed it out, how horrifying!
Yey Storytime, ur one of the few ogs i still watch❤️
Oh my gosh these story times take me back to the early 2010s!
All the og girlies was getting pumped and I was doing their booty workouts none the wiser back in the day 😂😂
Ughhh gave me chills! Glad you’re here to tell about it! Please be so safe ❤
I appreciate your story times so muchnnn

Nurse or phlebotomist? Big difference
@@KS-bx2jf I'm aware of that, Liza's a nurse now
It’s illegal so technically she shouldn’t be doing anything in the medical field

Gigi, thanks so much for sharing your story. That was nuts! Dang girl!
I just love your story time videos. Thank you for always sharing your crazy stories with us. Your amazing. Lots of love to you. 🥰
I love you Gigi, your storytelling is amazing ❤
Ew yellow watered down silicone?! What was she thinking using that on people 🤢😭 so glad nothing serious happened to you! 💗

Omg.. a hallow needle is only for withdraw. I know that had to hurt.
Whether it’s legal or not, injecting yourself with silicone doesn’t sound like a safe idea at all. So glad you got it out early!
This is the scariest horror movie I’ve ever seen 😮💨
Been following for 10+years and you never fail to inspire:) thank you for always being so open! It’s helped the community so much🏳️⚧️

Thanks for the very interesting story about getting silicone infections and learned you didn't want them because it was very dangerous
Silicone injections and oil injections are very dangerous procedures.
hate that things like that are so popular
Without intention to ask any uncomfortable questions, what did you do about the stuff still in your body after that last visit/"rolling out" experience?

Itll be there until she gets it removed. In Colombia drs are experts doing that
guuurl, and did you went to a doctor? my mom she got also some shady sustance, and she has many problems with circulation and she get sick. =(
Omggg this story was a rollercoaster
You are brilliant to share this. You are informing girls how dangerous this procedure can be. I watched your veneers video. Can I ask have you ever had any subsequent issues with your veneers?

The needle is so thick so that it can’t be injected into a vein
thats pretty shitty of your friend to bring her own personal stuff and have you use Lisa's :(

Wow you really can’t tell that you’ve had these injections where as you can with other girls like Eden, Nikita etc
I think she got a lot less

Not the bartender thing 😂❤
permanently altering your body in extremely dangerous ways just to chase a fleeting trend 🤦♀️
I hate how body parts are trends. it causes so much harm.
It’s not a trend, it’s a gender affirming procedure
You are so lucky to not have serious health problems right now!
Wait, so did she get them removed or???
NOT THE VOSS BOTTLE 💀
Hey girl where did you get those blind stud's from I so want a pear ❤
Thiiis is a f/cking horror movie! Squeezing silicone out in a club bathroom!!!! I’m SHOOK.
Nikita, Eden, Yasmine petty, Sonique and Kerri Colby they all had that silicone pumped, but how come they still look fine with their booty/hips? I still wanna get that done 🫣
Maybe every body is different to reacting to the silicone
Because they didn't get a whole lot at once.
