After sharing footage of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 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.

The results stunned thousands of viewers, who admitted that their injected fillers never dissolved.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery states.

“That means they love water and they also cause tissue expansion.”
