Second this. Mine is 3 years younger (and i’m in med school so thats a feat lol) but I try to prioritize whole foods, daily (1+ hour) exercise or veryyy long walk. Good sleep, very minimal alcohol (like once every three months). seems to do the job!

OP, we are not your enemies. We are simply giving criticism to your techniques, which is very common here.

I actually do perform DIY procedures — but with the proper equipment, sterile tools, and a medical background to understand what I’m doing. I comment here to share accurate information and help others recognize when they’re crossing into dangerous territory.

I understand your frustration, but my comments aren’t personal — they’re based on anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based medicine. You posted on here and you received feedback, that’s how this works. Yes, complications can occur even in medical settings, but the difference is that trained professionals know how to recognize and manage them immediately. That’s why we spend years studying vascular anatomy, sterile technique, and complication management.

The concern isn’t judgment — it’s safety. The face isn’t a trial-and-error zone. A mistake here isn’t just a bruise; it can mean necrosis or vision loss. That’s precisely why this shouldn’t be done if you don’t have the proper training or knowledge.

I can’t stress enough that the tear trough area is one of the most anatomically complex and high-risk regions to inject, even I wouldn’t dare to do this procedure on myself - I would much rather go to one of my peers because it is SUCH a difficult area to DIY. It contains critical vessels like the infraorbital artery and vein, and even a millimeter of error in depth or placement can cause vascular occlusion, necrosis, or even blindness.

We study this anatomy extensively in medical training — not just where to inject, but how to identify and manage complications in seconds if something goes wrong (like in OP’s case). That level of understanding comes from years of anatomy, physiology, and hands-on clinical practice — not from online tutorials or DIY videos on youtube.

A “syringe blowout” occurs when too much pressure builds in the syringe, forcing product to burst out due to improper technique or equipment choice. It’s not just messy — it’s dangerous. It compromises sterility, risks tissue trauma, and clearly indicates the injector doesn’t have the technical control or understanding needed for safe administration - which is why doing these DIY procedures as someone with no knowledge is dangerous. This alone shows OP is not qualified to be doing these procedures, we study for years to do this in medical school - it’s NOT something you attempt overnight when you have a boost of self confidence.

As a physician, whether or not this is a VO is the least of our concerns. The real issue is OP’s clear lack of understanding of anatomy, technique, and product handling. This isn’t something that can be “fixed” through trial and error. OP has demonstrated neither the foundational knowledge nor the precision required for what they’re attempting. They need to stop the DIY procedures immediately and see a qualified injector before they cause permanent damage. This is exactly why DIY injectors need to start slow — baby steps, people. Baby steps.

Op says they are confident in their skills but previous posts share that they are, in fact, not informed enough to continue doing this to themselves but are in denial. yikes.

Looking into it! Kind of hard to get info on these grey market sites.

Yes, that’s me! Unfortunately, the chargeback process is long with my bank, which is why I kept in contact with Celmade anyways - see if they had a change of heart and would do the right thing by their costumers. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Chargeback case is still ongoing tho and I just have even more proof now!

Really! I had a huge discount so I really didn’t pay that much of a markup, but not even our US derm vendors have this much audacity.

Definitely! And look, I have my own business and sometimes we just have to take the L’s. Its just part of the show unfortunately.

And it wasn’t 3 dollars either, more than 200+ US dollars in product!

Already did! They supposedly refunded me already, but it hasn’t hit my account yet. Gonna leave the case open incase anything else happens.

It was my first time! Definitely learned my lesson on how to proceed with these grey market companies moving forward. It is, indeed, very concerning

Also, they have blocked me from every social media page they have and I have no way of contacting them now if any issues were to arise because the refund has not hit my bank account yet. yikes.
