hi I'm dr. Johnny do you want to inject yourself at home well a lot of people
are in those YouTube videos displaying that and some people are feeling that it
might be a good idea reasonable or safe I wanted to educate a little bit give
you my opinion here and tell you why it may not be the best idea so home
injections are injectors that you might see on Instagram or on YouTube injecting
themselves but more importantly it's people with no knowledge of anatomy and
physiology of the product or the filler or what they're putting in injecting it
so what are the potential pitfalls it can be done and maybe it's safe for some
people but not knowing the anatomy now even if you know your Anatomy there's a
parenthesis so there can be side effects even if you know where you're putting
the product but a lot of people who inject nurses doctors nurse
practitioners people who inject a lot study and continually go to courses to
update on Anatomy on pitfalls using a needle versus a cannula of course it's
very difficult use a cannula on yourself but it is a little bit safer so that's
some of that one of the nuances of knowing the anatomy and how to inject
around the anatomy a second big problem with it is where's the product coming
from and not knowing what it is because we don't know where came from oftentimes
it comes from outside the country it can be labeled as one thing you get it's
something totally different and I've seen it sometimes there's
they are permanent products or silicon with inner product and anytime you
inject something permanent you can have permanent products especially if it
didn't go exactly where you want so not knowing the problem what not knowing
what's in what you're jacking is a problem thirdly we're always changing
certain things about what we do with injections that's why we go to courses
all the time one of the things is that as an example is cleanliness and of
course one of the number-one areas of people self inject is the lips of course
and the oral cavity is very dirty and what we're using the clean how we clean
in the pre preparation is important to know often not followed by the home
gamers when an infection occurs it can be problematic very hard to get rid of
there's be no typical changes that occur in the bacteria something called biofilm
and it's difficult to treat for the most expert of injectors leave along the home
mainland another problem is we talked about
Anatomy but even if you know your Anatomy you could get an occlusion
either by going into a vessel or from the outside if it occurs most people at
home don't have high Linux or filler dissolver to take care of that problem
and of course the tissue can die point rapidly so that would be one of the
devastating complications so there's a lot of reasons why it's a bad idea
to inject yourself at home I think not being prepared as well for the
repercussions and when something bad happens it's your face you only get one
and the repercussions tend to be permanent it's not things that just go
away it's not lipstick it's not lip gloss it's not lip plumper it's actually
going in your body what goes in your body if it's not clean can cause
infection and in the process and all those bad things
permanent and permanent product put in the lip or in the skin almost can never
be fully removed even with surgery soft maybe reconsider if your hope you were
