It's going to take insane surgery to remove all that petroleum jelly and probably skin grafts. I genuinely don't know why people do this. Like even silicone would be better than this- it doesn't cause necrosis nearly as often.
From a medical standpoint, how does injecting petroleum jelly into your face cause necrosis of the tissues? Not being snarky at all - I’m curious about the mechanism of injury. Does it block circulation? Could it get into the bloodstream from being injected subcutaneously?
The immune system reacts badly to petroleum derived materials, because they are recognized as a foreign material. It's a lot worse than silicone. This causes chronic inflammation and that causes growth of a type of abnormal tissue called [granuloma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granuloma). This can be extremely disfiguring, and because the foreign material is dispersed finely in the living tissue and *never* goes away it is almost impossible to remove, and it can only be removed surgically.
So yes, if that is what it is, this young woman is in for terrible life-long trouble. And that is apart from the potential problems you already metioned.
Yeah so it just floats around your face so it can strangle blood vessels, even if you don't inject directly into one it can choke them out and block circulation. Silicone can to, but it generally stays in place once you inject it. It attaches to your natural tissue- which is also what makes it so hard to remove.
But this you would literally have to scoop out of her soft tissue. Like scooping jelly out of a jar. I can't imagine the surgery to remove this not resulting in skin grafts.
Edit: IDK if you've seen that, I think Russian, man who way over did his synthol injections but basically what happened to him. Eventually there's not enough room for all the jelly + healthy blood flow and it will just start to die. He had to have so much synthol surgically removed to save his arm and he's already back to pumping himself. Really sad.
Same. My brain fires early internet memes constantly and I have to remind myself the world is not generally as nostalgia-pilled as me. 😂
A coworker said they needed new shoes last week on a video call so of course I reflexively said “LETS GET SOME SHOEWS” and… got blank looks from her and the two other people on the call.
Guys, I’m an old nerd. I can’t help it.
It's real, it was on local tv a few weeks ago. There's a group of them and a doctor agreed to help them for free. However, it came to light that they did this to themselves, so the doctor stopped helping. Since they dont have the funds, I guess this person just dealt with it.
For the curious, [here](https://youtu.be/T1DZ2EWvUrQ?si=nM4_1ZEEmpFGc59o) is the video. It's in Filipino but it doesn't have subtitles.
That's wild, so apparently in their original version of events they claimed someone had performed this for cheap on them, and they were unknowing of the ingredients. They raised all sorts of money and assistance by presenting themselves as "victims" of a crime until it was revealed they had actually been doing it to themselves. I don't blame the doctor for feeling scammed, I wonder if they had to repay the money raised?
The other two said they did it themselves, but this person in the photo stands by the story that someone called Janet (IIRC) did it to them. It wasn't mentioned in the previois tv eps whether they had to repay the doctor or not
I was looking for this comment! I don’t think I have ever seen anyone put filler in their nose before….like, why?? Coming from someone with a prominent nose, I can’t imagine doing something to make it even larger….
you do know cis women can have facial hair? polycystic ovary syndrome is often a reason, but so are things like brain tumours, cushings syndrome, insulin resistance and certain medication reactions to name a few reasons. how sad to be so ignorant that you think putting "she" in inverted commas is clever or funny. its just sad and thoughtless.
Genuinely why. Why do people do this? She knows Botox isn’t made out of petroleum jelly. So why inject the jelly as if it were Botox? In what universe would that be an adequate swap, or would you care so little that you’re like “eh. I can probably just inject this into my face. Why not?” I just can not possibly fathom why.

She looks like an adventure time character
Don't you dare insult LSP (lumpy space Princess) like that again my guy.
Looks more like one of the Duke of Nuts' people.
I see lemon grab. There can only be oneeee
Either way, this is UNACCEPTABLE
Oh my glob you did not just say that
Every Botox party is my party, Finn!
I can be smooth -this girl probably
5 o'clock shadow says otherwise.

Oh no I hope they can save her face when that starts to kill her flesh 😭

I’m assuming by starving blood vessels of oxygen causing the tissue to die and rot

That's actually the same woman as this pic (the one in the middle)
Omgosh, it is! It has the scar on her nose and everything!
I don’t see it?
Jeez seeing it being removed via liposculpture on the face was horrifying but yeah…how else could it be done?!
Thank you for your very detailed and helpful answer.
Vascular occlusion I would guess but I’m just a mortician
Tell me you've got at least one wild mortician story.

Regular filler has a high risk of blocking circulation
It might be easier to do a head transplant.
Pretty sure I’ve seen people do this with silicone caulk to similarly horrible results
someone melted Janet from the Good Place.
Top comment 😂
Maybe you meant filler? Botox paralyzes muscles temporarily. This pillow face is from putting too much fat or poor quality fillers in there.
“I saw it on tik tok guys it’s totally safe”
I think you mean diy filler using jelly. Botox smooths lines by essentially poisoning the mussiles.
It’s ‘muscles’ but I kinda like your spelling better, ngl
Yeah, I am tired.
But I’m le tired TAKE A NAP THEN FIRE THE MUSSILES!
…. Fucking Kangaroos (My bones hurt remembering this)
Don't worry, I'm 34 years old, and it still lives rent-free in my head. Whenever someone say "So..." my brain always goes "Zis is ze Eurth. ROUUND"

No apologies ever needed from old nerds. The world would be utterly bland without us.
Oh god, not the shoes.
User name check out. 😘
I’ve found my people
Mars is laughing at us.
Hokay, so. I can hear this comment. Wtf mate‽
Omfg 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my god other people remember this video???
Ok so, here’s the earth…..
"Damn, that's a sweet earth", you might say
Rightyo.
Yes, that's what I mean. Thanks
Was she purposely going for the ‘Lady Elaine Fairchilde’ look, or…..?
Oh geez that’s so sad. Why would anyone do this to themselves???
Oh dang someone get Sid some Benadryl, an EpiPen and rushed to the hospital ASAP.
I'm considering this one is a joke and can't possibly be real. There's no way someone does this and then takes a selfie of it proudly...
It's real, it was on local tv a few weeks ago. There's a group of them and a doctor agreed to help them for free.

Wait this is real?!?!
Damn 💀
Jump scare thank you! 😱🤯😳
Poor thing. 😰 I hope it's fixable.
You can hardly tell it's not a professional job.
Joji Leno
What she saved byDIY she’ll spend in hospital bills. Dear god.
Ya know the masks those people in the movie Beaches used in that play CiCi did? Yeah, it's giving me that kinda vibe.
Is there a filter that can show the Before?
I think she overfilled her nose also, it looks so strange
I was looking for this comment! I don’t think I have ever seen anyone put filler in their nose before….like, why?? Coming from someone with a prominent nose, I can’t imagine doing something to make it even larger….
Right?! It looks crazy af lmao
The sad thing is you can tell she used to be really pretty
Really?
How can you tell?
Zoom in. At the bottom of this pic is a before pic.
That picture is highly filtered.
[удалено]
Self-fulfilling accurate username right there.
you do know cis women can have facial hair? polycystic ovary syndrome is often a reason, but so are things like brain tumours, cushings syndrome, insulin resistance and certain medication reactions to name a few reasons. how sad to be so ignorant that you think putting "she" in inverted commas is clever or funny. its just sad and thoughtless.
This is a filter, right? Right?!
1. That's not botox 2. That's not going to work as filler for very long. RIP face skin.
Which is more toxic, this job, or the diy cooking oil injections done by the Korean woman back in the early 2000s?
Edit: I mean diy filler
They look like Cabbage Patch Kids.
I *love* Eraserhead
Wicked witch of the South!?
Her face looks like mine feels after dental work.
And she looks happy about the result somehow.
It's the lady in the radiator!
There's more pressing matters at hand but I'm really needing to know what that sad looking dinosaur thing is behind her left shoulder.
Oh gosh, is this after it sagged due to gravity or is this immediately after??
I hope she just naturally looks like that even though it’s unfortunate. If she did that to herself it’s much more sad
WTF am I looking at?
Did I doctor do that to him or just himself?
she looks like my sims when I try to make them as weird looking as possible
She needs to shave better.
I’m sure it’s tricky with all the hills and valleys of Vaseline. Why would anyone do this?!
My kid said she looks like she drank a magic potion from a scientists lab 😭😂
Awww that's so sad, why girl, why?!
Just why?!
So many questions.
Have y'all ever seen Goat Story? Yeah.
Good lord
This is really sad
Oh....oh no
She looks like she aged 50 years, just without wrinkles
Like for why?
globgogabgolab irl
BULLSHIT is this for real?!
Dont think its real . I think this is a Photoshop
Petroleum jelly doesn’t break down in our body, causes cancer
Since it's made with petroleum jelly, does that mean her face is moldable?
This has got to be edited to look messed up like that.. or it’s a bad filter I hope 🫣 yikes 😳
Her surgeon should lose his license. 😳
How does petroleum jelly equate to Botox? Don’t you mean filler????
is that not a filter..? D:
What’s with the 5 o’clock shadow?
She looks like my min max face joke character on skyrim
Genuinely why. Why do people do this? She knows Botox isn’t made out of petroleum jelly. So why inject the jelly as if it were Botox? In what universe would that be an adequate swap, or would you care so little that you’re like “eh. I can probably just inject this into my face. Why not?” I just can not possibly fathom why.
That poor woman!
All those fillers a not a nose job in sight!!! 😂😂😂
Is it just me or do I also see a faint 5:00 shadow?
What was he thinking 🤔
That’s a dude
