I'm a nurse too and was given subcut prophylactic heparin to take home after my C-section. Where I live it's given to every patient having surgery and I worked on a vascular/lower GI surgical ward (don't know if it's an international thing? I'm from the UK) And it's given for longer after pregnancy/ c-sec. So I am extremely used to giving it, everyday every patient. It is MUCH harder to inject yourself than it is to inject other people! I could not imagine sticking needles in my own face!

There is so much that can go wrong and if you're not a fan of "greedy" plastic surgeons - none of these people NEED plastic surgery.

A doctor can't reccomend any unlicensed person give injections with unlicensed pharmaceuticals. Regardless of how they personally feel about it, there are ethical, professional and legal obligations that doctors and nurses have which prevent them from being able to publically condone DIY filler. The same that keep them from condoning people removing their own sutures or taking off their own cast. Of course some professionals can make mistakes, some may even fail to attend to aforementioned obligations. But that's why research is important! Dr. Linkov does not stand to gain any significant amount of new clients from this one video, but you're of course entitled to extrapolate whatever you like. You will, however, be hard pressed to find any credible medical professional that would condone this publically. (*edited for typo)

@@kimlong-sf9ke Cool, you don't pay for the products though (as we saw, apparently everyone can easily get those), you pay for a professional doing it. You pay for the training that they went trough. Now obviously they are a business, so they need to make a profit which will drastically increase the price. Luckily these procedures are entirely unnecessary and only individuals that are sure that they want to risk their health and spend their money to minimize said risk in order to alter their appearance will go through with them. It's like a tattoo. Sure, you can easily do them yourself at home and some manage to make them look great, but there are health risks and of course the risk that it will look bad. If you go to a professional artist, it will look good, you will have the best chance of not getting an infection (depending on who you go to of course) and you will have someone with experience working with you. If they do it wrong, you can probably sue them. If you do it wrong, there is really nothing you can do.

I watched both this and her response and found her way 100x more condescending - despite her accusing this doctor of behaving as such. She was very defensive and confrontational. I don’t think there’s a way to really stop DIY without infringing on people’s rights so while I don’t think it’s safe, I’m not against it necessarily. And I’ve shared info or content in the name of harm reduction for sure. But the DIY attitude is what bothers me. Fine, do what you want to your own face. But if you upload a video to a public platform, people are allowed to criticize. And if it was really as easy as she seems to think…. There wouldn’t be so many things done incorrectly. I just think it’s a case where many DIYers know just enough to be dangerous vs knowing enough to actually understand the risks.

I’m not advocating that anyone do this to themselves, however, I have a few things to say. Just a philosophical perspective. I know a number of people who do, their own injections, and they have studied and studied anatomy and technique. Would you be willing to agree that there are some people who are so focused on doing these injections correctly and safely, that they might actually know the facial anatomy better than some doctors, and are more meticulous and cautious as well? And many also keep Hyaluronidase Bacteriostatic Saline on hand, knowing that most hospitals are not prepared for a vascular occlusion and don’t carry Hyaluronidase. Additionally They sanitize with the same antiseptics that physicians use, and are very careful to avoid contaminating the skin once cleanser or the needle once open. Doctor, are you familiar with a book called “when the air hits your brain”? It’s written by a neurosurgeon who says at one point, tongue in cheek, that the real test for a neurosurgeon should be the ability to pull a bone out of the game Operation without setting off the buzzer. The point being that while I respect the amount of education a plastic surgeon has, learning to do injections, particularly on oneself, can be done with literally the same degree of expertise as a physician. Once a person has become well versed in anatomy, mapped their own blood vessels, they become familiar with the specifics of their own anatomy, whereas Licensed injectors(physicians, nurses etc) are seeing multiple people per day. Again, I’m not suggesting that anyone inject themselves, but I also don’t think that anyone who does this is crazy. Another benefit of self injection is that the self injector can approach their “transformation” very slowly. Two days after injecting 1/2 cc, he or she can go back and add another .1 or .2 and so on. As far as whether insurance would cover complications, I have to ask, why does insurance pay for the lung cancer treatment of a smoker? Or the for cost of complications from obesity, like heart disease and diabetes?? What about when a drug addict overdoses? A driver who crashes his car and sustains serious injuries because he’s driving well over the speed limit? What about the complications from a suicide attempt? Say, stomach pumping or reconstructive surgery following a self inflicted gunshot would. These are all caused by choices/actions that an insurance companies could deem “illegal”. No? And I have seen plenty of nurses and Plastic surgeons admit to injecting themselves and some even doing so on you tube. Finally I want to say that I appreciate that you actually were pretty fair and open in watching and reviewing the video. For the record, I don’t know that I would say she is the poster child for self treatment. But I do believe there are people out there that might actually surprise and impress you! Thanks for listening!

I do my own toxin injections, pdo threads, and chemical peels. Have for years. I do a great job and I’ve never had any issue, beyond a bruise here or there. I have countless hours invested in researching. It actually IS possible to learn to do these procedures safely and effectively at home. Filler is another ball game in terms of risk exposure, however; I wouldn’t attempt that. But as a whole, there are many procedures that can be done from home if you’re willing to put in the painstaking hours of research. I understand that I take a risk every time I perform a procedure, but it’s a calculated risk, and I’ve saved $10k+ over the last 5 years

Don't think you are alone who considers that anatomy is very complex. Me too, but for my doctor ( quite famous in Poland) it is ALSO not easy ! I know that doctors are taking part in the workshops , they are only watching and afterwards they come back to the patients and do as they have seen, without any practice !! Hovewer, it is not only about the anatomy, but also about the density of the product, the depth, the amount, so it should be kind of artist who will not disfigure your face !! Thats why i started to learn on my own and look for the reason why it went wrong....I still believe in " good "doctors but it is important to understand what they are doing, because not all of them are good !

You're making money off of illegal activity then!" Because I'd watched her video I began getting her videos and posts in my feed and safe to say, she hasn't learned to be cautious. She's released schedules for near-daily livestreams where she does DIY Botox, thread lifts and fillers in different parts of her face. I'd hate to say it but she is going to end up on Botched trying to fix her face or like Hang Mioku, who had injected herself with cooking oil and silicone and became extremely disfigured as result.

Not to mention the fact that I’ve had training on how to do it.

However, I found this video, and I realized that, even if there is a thousandth chance of losing my vision doing this treatment, it is not worth it. In my imagination everything was perfect; I could get facials much cheaper, and my skin would be radiant (I wanted to get rid of the acne marks), but it scares the hell out of me now. So I'm going to go to my usual doctor, and I'm going to give her my hyaluronic acid, confess to her that I had planned to inject it myself, and wait for her to tell me off. I'll give her the acid just in case it's of any use (I bought it from a very good brand)... but I would feel like a little girl in front of a teacher (Im 34). I thought: if a doctor can do it and it seems simple, why not me? Sometimes, when I feel smarter than anyone else, Ive been dumber than anyone else actually.

You could easily paralyze your face by hitting a nerve . If you get silicone … you can disfigure your face . Also you need to go to a certified plastic surgeon to get your fillers or else you can look like a monster . Look at the surgeon’s work and read his reviews . You might pay more , but you won’t look like crap

Doc, I am from New York myself (Suffern in Rockland County). My opinion on elective medical treatments is very simple. Do not go "cheap" and get the treatment done by the best that you can find. You cannot afford the best? Perhaps there are some that are still very good, but maybe not as well known and they may charge a lower rate. With that said... just save your money and your human body. I have seen some fantastic "work" done on people and I have seen HORRIFIC "work" done too.

What shocks me the most is that they are on KZbin and Patreon to show others how to do it , they even have discount codes with the companies that sell these so there’s no hiding that they promote these DIYs.
