If Your Filler

A viral MRI video shared by Dr. Kami Parsa, an oculoplastic surgeon, has raised concerns about the long-term effects of hyaluronic acid fillers. The footage showed a 33-year-old woman’s facial fillers not only persisting but also increasing in volume years after her last injections. Despite being marketed as temporary, Dr. Parsa explained that hyaluronic acid fillers attract water, potentially causing them to grow over time. The video has garnered over 7.2 million views on TikTok, prompting many users to share similar experiences of fillers lasting far beyond expectations. This revelation has reignited debates about transparency in the cosmetic industry, with patients questioning whether they were misled about how long these substances would remain in their bodies.
