After sharing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) footage, a medical surgeon gained widespread attention for demonstrating how a patient’s injected amount of hyaluronic acid fillers had grown and autonomously migrated over time.
Thousands of viewers were astounded by the findings and acknowledged that their injected fillers had never dissolved.
According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, dermal fillers are gel-like compounds that are injected beneath the skin to improve facial features, smooth wrinkles, soften creases, and restore lost volume.
Over a million men and women select this well-liked face rejuvenation procedure every year, according to the board.
Hyaluronic acid-based injectable fillers are the most widely used kind and are typically the most transient solution. Fillers made of hyaluronic acid usually last six to eighteen months.
Oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Kami Parsa went viral after showing footage of an MRI
Dr. Kami Parsa, an oculoplastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California, posted a video of a patient’s MRI on his TikTok page on Friday, July 12. The video showed how the patient’s face had changed due to injectables.
The patient, a 33-year-old lady, had received injections of hyaluronic acid filler over the previous six years totaling more than 12 CC, or 12 milliliters.
The MRI was displayed in the movie, which has had over 7.2 million views, as a grey face with green dots lighting up in different places, such as the cheeks and lips, signifying the remaining hyaluronic acid filler.
The patient in question had undergone what procedures? Dr. Parsa did not clarify. He did, however, clarify that after performing a volumetric study to determine the woman’s filler’s overall amount, the material came to a total of 28 CC.
Which is more than twice the amount of filler that was injected,” the doctor said in his video.
He further explained: “What this shows us is that hyaluronic acid fillers are hydrophilic.”
This indicates that they both enjoy being in water and stimulate tissue growth.
The MRI sparked concerns, as a TikTok user commented: “I just don’t see how this wouldn’t completely destroy the lymphatic system.”
“FINALLY THIS IS BEING TALKED ABOUT,” a person wrote. “The mass production and insane usage without WARNING. I need to know more. What about Botox?”
“Botox has a long history and is safe if performed correctly,” was Dr. Parsa’s response.

Someone retained: “Okay so water is key to keeping my filler.”
A viewer admitted: “I keep telling people I only got my lips done 3 times 0.5ml each time and it’s been 5 years since then and my lips are still the same because it DOES NOT DISSOLVE.”
“When it first came out, all injectors said it would only last 6 months,” a netizen penned, to which the medical expert responded: “That’s what the filler companies were telling us.”
An observer noted: “I got chin filler ONCE a decade ago, never needed a touch-up since. It’s stayed the same this whole time.”
Another person commented, saying, “I had my lips done 8 years ago. It still hasn’t gone away.”
Over time, fillers have gained popularity, and celebrities who overuse them are frequently chastised.
