After publishing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, a medical surgeon caught the public’s attention by showing how the amount of hyaluronic acid injected into a patient had grown and migrated on its own over time.
According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, dermal fillers are gel-like compounds injected under the skin to improve facial features, reduce wrinkles, smooth creases and restore lost volume.
Oculoplastic surgeon Dr Kami Parsa went viral after showing MRI images.
Dr Kami Parsa, an oculoplastic surgeon from Beverly Hills, California, posted a video of the MRI.
The patient, a 33-year-old woman, had received hyaluronic acid injections over the past six years, totalling more than 12 CC, or 12 millilitres.
The film, which has been viewed more than 7.2 million times, showed the MRI as a grey face with green dots that lit up in different places.
What procedures had the patient in question undergone? Dr Parsa did not elaborate. He did say, however, that after performing a volumetric study to determine the patient’s total amount of filler, the material totalled 28 CC.
