Botox and filler
If do-it-yourself Botox sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, that's because it is. And yet, Pablo Prichard, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Scottsdale, Arizona, has seen it happen. "People are bored; they can't go to their plastic surgeon or dermatologist, [so] they're scouring the Internet," Dr. Prichard says. It's certainly a dark side of the wide ability of information online. "You can buy black-market Botox and black-market filler," he warns. People touting these DIY procedures can certainly seem convincing, not to mention that it costs far less money than a visit to a professional.
The products are "black-market" for a reason. "The problem with these is that they're completely unregulated by the FDA," Dr. Prichard warns. "Anything that you're buying [is] not going through a health care professional." And that means that no matter how convincing the instructions may seem, you have no idea what's in those kits. The dose could be far too potent or otherwise incorrect. "Patients have had these foreign fillers injected into their face, only to cause facial necrosis," he says. The nasty consequences of this can include blackened, dead skin; holes in the face; infections; and otherwise irreversible damage. "Even if it is a legitimate product, somebody who's not skilled in injecting it can inject it into the wrong spot," Dr. Prichard says. Bottom line? Don't try it.
