I feel like we need to also talk about how such a sudden change in your looks, in your face that you yourself see everyday in the mirror/phone, can really, REALLY mess with your mental health.
Even a slow change can be devastating. My acne got worse and worse all through high school and I would skip school and stay home because I was so ashamed of my face. But overnight?!! I can't imagine how awful that would feel.
As a trans person, yes, I think trans people do talk about it a lot, even gradual changes that we can't control can mess you up, because it's this horrid realisation that you don't actually control your body. I remember that I felt pretty okay with my body until puberty started, then everything went wrong, it was horrible, it felt like full blown body horror for me. The way we see ourselves and the way we look like are important to how we feel. No one should tell anyone otherwise, it's so cruel how people dismiss how stressful changes in our bodies can be.
Not being able to blink/close your eyes properly after a bleph means they literally took away too much skin from the eyelids. It should always be done very conservatively because you can always go back and remove more skin, but you can't put it back. Sounds like they also hit major nerves in her face. The surgeons are absolutely at fault.
No they're not she literally has been confirmed to have the condition by her own experts she's just trying find something to blame instead of getting therapy
I don’t know why people are so quick to put down modeling careers. Imagine if you were a mathematician and a product caused you to incur brain damage, and you weren’t able to work in that profession any longer. Would we say “boo hoo” and tell them to just work retail or something? Probably not. Modeling is a career like any other and if you’re unable to work in that field it’s just devastating.
I think it's because people tend to think of models as just being lucky and winning the genetic lottery with little to no effort put into their career, which may be true for some however to whom you are born is a lottery in general so I don't see why people single out and hate on models. Also a lot of models work gruelling hours and often work hard to maintain their appearance.
Honestly, though, well said! There's just an incredible amount of work that goes into keeping your looks up it's not solely all genetics. My mother always said everyone has a beautiful model face with the right makeup, lighting, and professional photographer. What makes the big difference is if you put the effort into caring for your skin just as much as you care for your mind and heart. I'm a ballerina and had a time in my life and career when I was just so tired of doing things that I couldn't be half-assed to do anything that I usually did to care for my skin. In a few months my clear skin was ruined, and getting back into shape so to say took so much consistent work and mental effort that was honestly so hard on days where I spent it dancing and practicing away. It's not always just as simple as being born pretty, it's also work and discipline that are invested into yourself for your career.
@@ffaeyeand are often abused, basically starve themselves for the toxic beauty standards and get their individual personalities ignored just because of how they look..
Same here. The only thing I've had go wrong due to my systemic scleroderma is an abdominal surgery came un done and the doc said it may have been because of ss.
As for the Russian model's case, she seems to be suffering from bilateral facial nerve palsy. It can either be the result of buccal fat removal (a very botched procedure) or it can sometimes manifest as a symptom of scleroderma, when the disease affects the nervous system. The differential diagnosis can be made by a (relatively simple) nerve conduction study.
I'm sure you know more about scleroderma than me, but my understanding is that it's an autoimmune disease, so a major trauma like surgery that causes massive inflammation could definitely cause this level of a reaction. And there's multiple types and stages, of course, so some cases are more severe than others. I've read that scleroderma is diagnosed by looking for a collection of indicators, especially in the early stages, too, and it's rare enough that doctors don't look for it unless those indicators show up, which they often don't until it starts to progress. What am I missing?
I wanted to talk about something as someone who is not a super model. People who don’t have severe skin issues can not possibly understand the severe psychological and emotional pain that comes with them. I have struggled with moderate to severe acne my entire life. And a compulsive skin picking disorder that makes things so much worse sometimes. There are times when I literally do not want to leave the house. Not only do you feel SO ugly but it literally hurts!! It’s painful. I have also had two bouts of severe fungal infections on my face that resulted in weeping and crusting wounds all over my face. They both lasted for about a month and the itching was so bad I couldn’t sleep at night. I would just lay on my bed and cry. I really hate to see people downplay skin disorders or skin complications like it’s just a vanity issue. If you haven’t been there, don’t comment on it. You don’t have to be a model to be incredibly negatively impacted by these things. 😢 peace and love to anyone who has skin issues ❤
I have dermatillomania too. And suffered from bad skin in my teenage years, my 20s, and my 30s. All of this. You have no idea of the psychological damage. Plus rosacea? When there were really no treatments that were safe when I was growing up?
I hear you. Battling perpetual folliculitis for years now. Docs don't know how to treat it. When something works, it only does so for a week or two. Then my skin blows up worse. I won't wear v necks or anything that shows my chest. Can't wear a bra bc it causes massive breakouts along bra line. Luckily, I have very small boobs so it isn't noticeable that I don't wear one. I spend my nights slathered in product that helps heal it but never prevents it. It is driving me insane. I will be clear one day and five minutes later have itchy, painful, pinpoint red bumps all over the top half of my body, sans my face (thankfully.) The break outs are instantaneous, not like pimples. It is strange and frustrating and terrible for self-esteem. Add to that, I struggled with bad body and fsce acne as a teen and was always on antibiotics and pills to rein it in. I've had terrible skin my whole life. So I absolutely understand you and I hope things get better for you. Good luck.
I had a reaction to a “natural” skin care brand and contacted the company who suggested I could be sensitive to essential oils. But they took it really seriously and sent a courier to collect the product and run tests to rule out contamination or a bad batch. I won’t use the brand again but was impressed by the care the company took and how quickly they dealt with it. My reaction wasn’t bad just a light rash and itching luckily
@dizzieblondenot everything is evil intent. Natural products can cause allergic reactions just as easy as regular ones with synthetic ingredients. Sometimes even more, because natural ingredients are often mixtures of different components and the ratio's may differ. And essential oil are notorious for causing allergic reactions.
@@TinkerTaylor-zv1mlagreed. My mum, me and my sibling are all sensitive to natural stuff. Pine, mint and some plants, just climbing weeds in the garden. Causes skin blisters when in contact. For us bring on the lab created chemicals lmao.
i am a swiss and the "swiss brand" is a french brand (and the owner is from new york) "manufactured" in switzerland they say, this brand is unknown in switzerland, we have higher standards and much stricter rules than the EU for our products...likewise, this is no more a swiss brand than st. ives (California) who simply use ingredients/research team from switzerland and call themselves "swiss brand" because it sounds good 😮 Lindt, the chocolat the twins like, is a real swiss brand 😊
@@25archivesss lindt chocolate in switzerland is most of the time not the same you can buy in a other country, thats not only a lindt thing and not a swiss thing....however, james and robert do like lindt...the rest is just your opinion and i think everybody is happy you shared it with the world...
My youngest daughter is allergic to aloe. It’s hard to find skincare, body wash, lotions etc without aloe. She had an allergy test done last year. Since she found out her skin is looking so much better.
I'm allergic to rose, luckily for me it's not as trendy as it was 5 years ago, but I still have to read every product label, and I still mess up sometimes. I know y'alls pain, and I hope her reactions aren't too bad :/
I’m allergic aloe too, it is a pain how many products have aloe! The worst was a shampoo, my scalp felt like it was on fire! I’m glad your daughter knows now and can avoid it.
I’ve had skincare reactions so bad that literally split open my skin on my face. This didn’t happen when I was trying new skincare. It happened after I had used the products for over a yr. So always be aware of skin changes. It can happen at anytime.
@@shannonlynch4598I don't think brand matters, it can happen with anyone. I remember back im the day Benton had contaminated batch and it really did some real damage to people. I've used Benton for 8 years now and never anything happened. It could also be when your product expires or is improperly stored (at the store or at home).
@@shannonlynch4598got absolutely nothing to do with the brand. Just because some people are allergic to strawberries doesn't mean we all need to avoid them. In the same vein we don't all need to avoid something just because someone developed a reaction.
Slightly off topic but your intro is so lovely and as a recovering perfectionist I feel like I've adopted it as a sort of mantra, progression over perfection because perfection doesn't exist. I love it, and I love your content. Thank you ❤️
@@jinxminx55 It is very true that face skin and body skin can react very differently,you should test swatch face products on the face just in discret areas. Behind your ear or under your chin.
@@dlilwon She was diagnosed in late 2018 after she lost a significant amount of weight and constantly felt weak. Her health worsened in 2020, but she put off seeking medical attention partly because hospitals were crowded and doctors were overworked due to c0v1d (RU-vid doesn’t like that word), and I guess she was worried her illness wasn’t serious enough and that she’d be a burden 🥺. She was eventually rushed into hospital with scleroderma related kidney failure. She was eventually discharged, but quickly became ill again and was rushed back to hospital. It turned out she’d contracted an infection on the ward, which led to pneumonia. It was the pneumonia that ultimately caused her death, but it was all linked to her scleroderma. It’s all so sad.
James I saw the Makari products on the thumbnail and I screamed NOOOOO!! I started using Makari in January this year and my skin has thanked me ever since. However, when I was leaving to go to Miss Universe last month I did not have enough time to order from their website so I bought it from a shop here in Ireland. The consistency of the product, the smell, everything was different but it had the exact same ingredients listed on the bottle. I broke out at the pageant from using this product. I think the biggest problem that Makari have, in my opinion, is the retailers in shops selling them because I have heard from my aunties and mum that they are selling cheaper versions of the products so my guess is that they are manufacturing "dupes". P.S. James, I LOVE YOUR CONTENT
12:56 I don't necessarily think it's the brand's fault, I'm assuming the person was allergic to an ingredient they use in their products (probably a fragrance ingredient they use across all of their products). As long as the product follows government-approved regulations I don't think companies should be liable for people being allergic to ingredients, regardless of if the consumer knows they have the allergy or not. This is why it's so important to patch test things especially if they contain active ingredients or fragrance.
I remember seeing warnings on products from The Ordinary about always doing a patch test to check for reactions, but don't remember if it was the bottles or the website. I haven't seen this precaution on products from other companies although it seems a really good idea.
You would think, given that someone is a model, they are using other products which can interact, and this is their livelihood, as well as the fact that what works for you may not work for me and vice versa, patch testing would be standard.
Regardless of your age or job, having problematic skin is very distressing. I didn't even leave the house when my skin was bad, going to work was a torture 😢
a few years ago, i tried a product from farmacy. it burned my skin. i contacted the company, to let them know, and to see what ingredient may have caused it. they literally responded with " there's nothing in our products that can cause a reaction". i understand that reactions can happen, but to flat out say no...well, i haven't given them any more money.
I will say, scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder that like many others you don't always test positive for even if you have it, or can test for the gentic issue without any symptoms. And it often doesn't start affecting you until you are past 30-40.
If it is autoimmune, then they can test your white blood cells, even after the flare up, because your body stays on alert. I would think they can probably also take a look at the type of scarring using imaging or at the tissue itself with biopsy and determine whether it is normal scar development or abnormal at the cellular level
Word of mouth reviews are the best review in my opinion. Online ones can be faked and if people you actually know in real life are happy and you can see the results, it’s much more helpful. Very costly mistake, you only get one body and face
As someone whos undergone needed serious surgeries i like can not handle the idea of surgery for looks. i know there are some cases where i prob would. like large burns or something broke bad but I pray to God I dont have to have anymore surgeries. Its literally traumatic. I have ptsd im like darn sure from all that. I had to cause crohns disease was killing me but like i used to want breast implants but no. no no no. especially after seeing how sick it makes some women.
I have epiretinal detachment in both eyes (which leaves googly eyes like in cartoons in my vision) and thousands of floaters to the point it covers small words in average size print. I was told they could remove the vitreous fluid in my eyes and replace it with something else and it would greatly improve my vision BUT since I have autoimmune disorders my body could think the fluid it a foreign body and my own body could destroy my eyes and leave me blind. So unless my eyes get to the point that I’m blind, I will not consider it! Even then I’m afraid it could damage surrounding tissue, so basically I am chicken.
Rosehip oil ruined my skin, I used it for redness and skin sensitivity anti ageing etc etc. Over time my skin ended up having like keloid like bumps, and my skin would burn if I put anything on it, like parrafin wax even, it was horrid and lasted like 3 months, I was worried my skin was never going to be the same, luckily it eventually went back, but I couldn't imagine that never going away or ending up completely disfigured possibly permanently
Scleroderma is a progressive autoimmune disease, so you can develop it at any point and it progresses unpredictably. Illnesses and surgeries often cause the autoimmune system to work harder and trigger your disease process to start or get worse. If she hadn't developed scleroderma when she had a nose job she could have healed well and in between then and this surgery her disease became active. It's very much possible. I'm a former medical professional who is now disabled with multiple sclerosis, another progressive autoimmune immune disease. Autoimmune disorders can affect pretty much any part of your body in any number of horrifying and unpredictable ways. It's why they're incredibly difficult to diagnose and treat.
I had one product that genuinely destroyed my skin. It was the simple moisturising face wash. So comedogenic on me. I was 18 about to start uni had mild hormonal acne, the odd singular pimple . I used this once while on holiday and every pore turned into a white head closed comedone. It took a good few month to a year for me to recover , I still had the pigmentation marks. So odd as I have reactive skin if I use essential oils or too strong an active but never really sensitive. No allergies.
Omg I hate that product, it gave me extreme fungal acne on forehead. I never had dandruff issues so it was all that moisturising face wash from simple. I couldn't even understood what the problem was and kept on using it and it was horrible and soooo itchy. After that I bought a centella face wash from a k-beauty line and it helped me to get rid of it. I still struggle from the fungal acne time to time.
Inreally feel for these models who worked so hard to build their career only to be stopped in their tracks by unfortunate events and the screw ups of people who should care more. Also to me a free anything without a brief first or consultation is just a no. Walk out immediately, it isn't worth it. It's like getting tattooed and not be given aftercare instructions afterwards, a clear sign that the professionals only care about money instead of doing a good job. Surgeons like that are just rhe worst, horrible creatures.
tbh as someone who has had really bad acne on my cheeks and later it got better, I know that having relapses would just make me really really anxious because of just that "but it was okay before" situation. I imagine suddenly having to go through that when you haven't even had prior experience with such situations must've been horrible so I definitely feel for her. plus let's not forget the physical pain/itchy-ness/discomfort. and ofc this is all without even accounting for her career/hyper-critical modeling environment.
My sister had a myomectomy. A few yrs later I needed one too. Same hospital, same surgeon, but very different results. The way I scarred! I was unable to wear a bikini for yrs. I finally embraced my "battles scars". Lesson for me was that I could NEVER do plastic surgery. My body/skin won't tolerate it
Ok this needs to be said.. standard pre-surgical evaluations do not include a workup for scleroderma. Not every adverse reaction is able to be predicted or dependent on your surgeon’s skill, don’t mess with your face with ELECTIVE SURGERY unless you’re willing to accept the risk, no matter how small, it may end up looking worse than before
I'm sticking to Noxema and rosewater with glycerin. I've been using Noxema (for cleansing and moisturizing) since I was 13 yrs old, and rosewater and glycerin for the past 20 years. The picture you see is only a few months ago, I'm going to be 60 this June.
ECP here. I have seen sooo many blepharoplasty procedures go wrong. People left unable to close their eyes all the way causing debilitating dry eye at best. There is a new drop called Upneeq in the US. I urge anyone and everyone to speak with their eye doctor to see if they are a candidate prior to committing to surgery.
My mom has scleroderma. She’s had it since forever, her main issue is blood flow to her hands and feet. Her fingers turn purple in the cold. Not sure if she has ever had much more issue with it beyond that. It’s painful too.
The thing with face surgeries is you have to understand that it’s an enormous risk every time. I have to undergo a very complicated jaw surgery because of my dangerous medical condition, and my surgeons already explained that because we have a lot of nerves in our face and jaw, temporary or permanent paralysis of certain places of my face can’t occur as well as problems of swallowing liquids which can partially go out of the nostrils. My surgery will be performed by an excellent team of surgeons and I can’t live without it, so we will all hope for the best. I also signed different papers that I was informed of the complications. Surgeries always include risk, we just hope for the best.
I had a product once that burned my neck - I'm talking took the complete top layer off my neck, left a wound, then a giant scab, and then a scar. I was left wearing scarves for months - even in warm weather. I think part of this was my fault - it was supposed to be on the face only and for removing hyperpigmentation/dark spots. And it did that wonderfully for my face. I think I already had a thin cut on my neck (I had to shave a few hairs there every now and then) and the product mixed with that. The only reason I can explain why my face was ok but not my neck.
I had one session of Cool Sculpting. But after the machine caused that mass, they massaged the area to spread it back out. They didn’t let me leave looking like that. I have no complaints about my session.
I have completely non sensitive skin. It's fab and can take anything except Elemis. Someone gave me a present of Elemis and I blew up. Oddly the puffiness made me look young but it wasn't natural. My face was like a fully inflated balloon!
I feel like a lot of people don’t really understand how damaging to mental health reactions to skincare products can be. I can’t use spray deodorant as it causes my skin to become EXTREMELY irritated to the point I unintentionally scratch tiny patches of skin off. I have to use roll on deodorant then a perfume or aftershave that doesn’t irritate my skin if I want to smell good and it can cost a lot more than spray deodorant. I normally feel self conscious if I smell bad as a result :/
For the second model...why aren't the products named? Why didn't she go straight to a dermatologist and instead use a product they sent her?? And why isn't anything else questioned about her habits and routines?
What sucks is if the skincare products have any sort of spot test warning on the containers, some people might be screwed over in the courts if they badly react to using them.
It's astonishing how many surgeons and doctors f up and have the arrogance to gaslight the client and/or put the blame on the client. They need to be held accountable every single time. The skincare industry needs tighter legislation too.
I know someone who went through face peel a deep face peel with the layers, come off and sort of get rid of the dark spots and soft wrinkles, and they burned her around the mouth. She had to have many surgeries and still has scarring around her lips, very scary leave yourself alone wash your face and stay clean and use a good moisturizer and sunscreen. Nice foundation.
It's your FACE! It's how you communicate with your fellow humans. And it's hard to get ANY job that's public facing if you have bad skin or teeth, it's not just an issue for models. I heard this interview with a woman who had a horrible accident as a child that caused her to lose her teeth and her family didn't have the money to fix it-- she couldn't get hired basically anywhere paying more than minimum wage until a friend helped her pay for false teeth. People apparently were assuming she was on meth.
My skin was messed up via too high Benzoyl peroxide. I wish I knew better as a teen, but this was the 90s. Now I do laser facials and use products to help. And no BP.
And another thing, don't supermodels like insure their face and their body like wasn't there. A supermodo who had like a million dollars on her legs of insurance like I think that's the thing
Makari does not need to revise their products. Ive used for years and they helped remove the hyperpigmentation I had similar to the model. Im so glad i found them. Think her skin just didnt go with the product
I’m so glad that I’m “cute” instead of “hot”, the only pressure is my own and it has made me rely on my brain instead of beauty to get me where I want to be.
Scleroderma IS genetic, but the symptoms tends to appear later in life at age 25-55, and it can be triggered (but is not caused) by tissue trauma including surgical trauma. This unfortunate situation is likely due to “bad genetics” not bad doctors.
If this lady has systematic scleroderma she should not be having facial surgery. This could be very dangerous. It can be diagnosed with blood test. My cousin at the age of 25 was diagnosed with this condition, it can invade your internal organs and if it does the outcome can be fatal. Unfortunately my cousin passed away a year later. The outcome is often fatal because your internal organs are seriously damaged and there is nothing to prevent it.The organs often become hard like rocks . I truly hope that she is properly diagnosed before any more surgery
Could you pretty please do a review or a researched video on the brand vitamins and sea beauty. They are a VERY affordable brand, most products under $10, struggling to find any well informed reviews that aren’t a partnership. I just bought their seaweed and glycolic acid toner for $8 today but cannot seem to find any information on how often to use it and the percentage of glycolic acid in this toner. Would love to hear your opinion and recommendations of the brand. If all goes well I really want to put my friends on their skincare products because they are so affordable!!! (I love your videos so much, they calm me when I’m overwhelmed but need something to listen too. I’ve learned a lot and have bought products you’ve recommended that have helped my skin so much!!)
I am very surprised she contacted them to send her another product to fix the issue, instead of getting a tretinoin prescription and using just regular ceramide cream. If a brand breaks me out that bad trust I am not returning, that being said I did use Makari night face cream for abt 2 years in my early 20s had no issues with it.
Omg I def LOL'd at "On print? How old am I?!" Believe me I def feel you on that one fr, fr! I'm 36 y/o so I grew up during the magazine age as well, lol. I swear we're turning into a new genre of age called "boom-enials" lmao 🤣😂👏💯 Stay classy James! 💖👑💯
Wow Yulia Tarasevich is so beautiful and has such good face structure and all that I think even after the botched surgeries she still looks really beautiful. This is terrible for her I can't imagine how hard it can be when you wake up one morning and realize there is no turning back your career is over and like that.
I hope that Russian model wins big in court. They robbed her of more than just her career. Her face no longer even functions. They clearly severed a lot of the nervous system in her face on top of removing excessive tissue. It's just horrifying and she must be so traumatized and devastated. There is no fixing that level of damage. As to the gall with the acne, this is why medical and beauty industries ARE racial... there are significant differences between ethnic groups that can often be simplified into races. A hair product that simply straightens a black woman's hair will make most white girl's hair fall out, and a skincare routine that might work for Northern Europeans might cause reactions and darkening in the skin of someone from a warmer sunnier climate with darker skin tones. We are not all just the same and need to look at the target demographics of products and procedures when considering them for ourselves. No one can stop you from making a bad choice because it would be racist to tell you what to do or get based on your race, but in reality, it does actually matter and needs to be taken into consideration by practitioners and customers/patients. That last gal in the recent pic she just looks a bit old? I can see what she means about the texture of the skin showing some scarring, but it reminds me of cystic acne scarring I've seen. Def sounds like something went horribly wrong with the filler or she had a reaction or something, but she doesn't really look horribly disfigured to me. She just looks her age, being in her 60's. God forbid. I think she's being a bit delusional about the current status of her face and what her modeling prospects were before the botched filler and such.
Oh wow the Nike girl was gorgeous . TRETNOIN is the goat when it comes to bad acne. It gets worse the first two weeks… because it’s purging. Then it gets better. I would wash my face, apply to wet skin with tretnoin mixed with a little moisturizer . Let dry naturally. I haven’t had a breakout in years .: but honestly that first month is rough you just have to stick with it
My moon had a horrible reaction from a "natural" drugstore face cream that had shitake mushroom extract in it. My mom is not allergic to mushrooms but she had a terrible reaction to it on her skin. She used it only twice. She developed tiny bumps under her skin on both of her cheeks. They didn't go away for almost 2 years. It was terrible.
I had read that Oprah's favorite moisturizer was Philosophies Hope in a Jar and they sell it on QVC and I never heard a single bad thing about. I must be the the only odd one but the chemical smell was so horrible. I couldn't even wash it off and ended up going to the Emergency Room because I couldn't breathe.
Why is the procedure getting blamed when this condition is genetic and an autoimmune issue? It's just genetic it can pop up at any time she's in the age range this is most commonly pops up in. Her other plastic surgery was before she was 30 the condition pops up more commonly in the 30-55 age bracket. It's obvious she has it from her side effects she's describing.
AS A POC…. She knows what she was using and the risk… this is a known “skin brightening” …. BLLLEEEEEAAACCCCHHHHHHHING brand… soooo I feel bad for her skin, but she made this decision for a reason, you don’t just run into this brand
You need to have specific tests done to determine scleroderma. Since it affects the skin, scleroderma patients have a very distinctive look. So I call bull on those doctors explanations.
Looks are definitely important. If the people in the commercial or the model wearing the clothes doesn't look like me with my complection and body type, I ignore it because it's not a product meant for me. I also ignore anything that's Woke. Definitely not for me.
@@user-ml4ps5cq3v I am a Consumer, White, 30+ years old, Autumn cool toned skin and 5'7, and probably down to a size large or extra large now. I know that models come in different sizes. But I am not everyone. I was talking about the visual cues I use when shopping. Why would I want to buy something that literally wasn't made for me? Don't worry, this is a rhetorical question. Anyone with common sense already knows the answer. Think about it. Have a nice day. Btw, I find your comment about wokness extremely funny. I am definitively the farthest thing from it. Lol. 👍 🇺🇲
I just want to clear something up about scleroderma that I think got missed in this video. It's an autoimmune disease, NOT genetic (although you can have a genetic predisposition to it)--which means it can start at any time in your life. Although scleroderma is rare, it most commonly shows up in women aged 30-50, which Yulia was, and if she didn't get it in her rhinoplasty years or decades earlier, that doesn't necessarily mean she didn't get it since then. There are indicators of scleroderma that ~sometimes~ appear in early to middle stages, but there is no definitive test, and even if there was, it's not standard medical practice to look for it because it's so rare. That said, if you have it, you would expect EXACTLY this kind of reaction, and it's no one's fault. Surgery, even small stuff, is very traumatic for the body and causes massive inflammation, so if the immune system has gone haywire like in scleroderma, surgery is when it's going to manifest the worst. I'm not saying she does or doesn't have it--I have no idea--but the doctors' explanation is medically sound, while a botched surgery actually makes less sense medically. As horrible as this is for her, she's lucky it happened during an elective surgery instead of a medically necessary one, because it would likely have killed her if it was in her heart, spine, abdomen, lungs, etc. Again, I'm not claiming that's what happened, just that it's more likely than a botched surgery based on her symptoms.
If she does have scleroderma, is it possible it made her look like that and not a botched surgery? It looks like her skin was very tight after the surgery especially in the hollows of her cheeks. And if she did have scleroderma, a second surgery could have made it worse not better tho?
@@Kat31017 Exactly. Scleroderma causes collagen and calcium deposits in response to inflammation, so anywhere her skin would normally be ~plump but tight~, like her cheeks, eye sockets, neck, etc. would all gonna turn rock-hard and not be able to stretch or move. a second surgery could theoretically cut them out, but the inflammation would just cause more inflammation and she'd be worse off than the first, because autoimmune diseases get worse every time they're triggered. To me, this explains why her healing was going well at the beginning and then took a turn: as the inflammation set in, the collagen and calcium deposits lagged by a day or two, and eventually settled where it was once the inflammation went down. I'm not a doctor, but I've got a degree in cell biology and that would be my best guess as to what happened.
Hey, the pronunciation of "Krasnodar" was pretty much spot on, just aside from the fact that the "s" doesn't make a "z" sound, it's [kras-na-dár] in the original language
When I forget a product on a business trip etc, my first option is to purchase a baby skincare product to replace it temporarily eg baby lotion may replace night cream, baby soap my cleansing bar etc. It is not ideal but it is low risk and good enough to tide one over till the trip home.
I always test new products before using them on my face. I use a small area close to my armpit, the skin is sensitive there. And it have saved me a few times.
