Well, hello, hello, guys, you're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, and it's time for our podcast. It has been

a interesting week, an interesting week, challenging, interesting. I've been in the public eye a little bit.

For those of you who don't know, I don't know, the whole world I thought knew that I got into a little bit of a social media storm.

I had posted an image of a celebrity and I got critiqued from left and right by all her

amazing fan followers. And I was talking, I think primarily to injectors around the world,

talking about the phenomenon of an overfilled

face and why injectors need to do better. How we need to stop relying on hyluronic gel fillers

because it can create a puffy, doughy, swelly look to the face. The gel fillers draw so much water

into the tissues. Really a thousand times their water weight can come into the tissues.

And really, the science is not even fully established on how much puffiness and swell comes into the skin when we use the gel fillers.

I am a huge fan of fillers.

Fillers are one of our best technologies for rebuilding facial fat loss that happens with

natural aging process. Fillers are one of the only non-surgical things we can do to help stave off

a facelift and surgical treatments for aging faces. And so I love and use fillers all the time,

but I'm seeing such a widespread phenomenon

of overfilling faces that I just felt it was necessary

to mention it.

Now I got widely critiqued for looking at this lovely lady's face

and putting her in the background of my video

and commenting on overfilling of her features.

And I just want to say, I never intend, of course, to critique and break down a woman.

That was not my goal.
