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..
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.
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 😢
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Modeling, like a sporting career, is a situation where you compete hard for one of a few spots available and if successful, you are guaranteed that your career will be short-lived. It is a fine temporary hobby, but everyone who cant stay young and fit forever will eventually lose those careers. People in both areas (modeling and sport) should be prepared by professional psychologists for losing everything on which they have based their self-worth and income...either due to age, fashion, bad luck, surgical errors, other environmental factors etc. Both kinds of jobs are also quite exploitative of young, needy, enthusiastic people who have no sense of vulnerability or future decline. The industries chew them up and spit them out.
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.
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.
"Aren't all models retouched anyway?" - Well, let me tell you. If a light touch-ups for model with generally great skin cost 5.00 USD / image, heavy work could go up to 5x that price and take 5x more time. Now imagine you have 300+ images of this particular model to work with plus a typical tight deadline & high pressure of the fashion world to work on. Would you still hire said model OR would you go with other nice skinned model (plenty to find, by the way) who you know will cost you less time & money? ... Trust me, I've seen retouchers put models out of job because they need heavy touch ups before and those ones still have nicer skin than this, mind you. Your waistline gets wider? - everyone in the set knows and judges you for it. Your armpits sagging? - oh, this will reflect in the retouching cost and we might not use you in the future. It's not an easy job, you're basically being judged very harshly and in your face 100% of the time. Everything is about cost & profit in this world. Model's face represents the brand, every model knows ... which is why they're also very strict with their face & diet to still be relevant in the industry.
i can usally alway tell you and robert apart bc usually hes wearing makieup, lol could be lack of sleep but for 2 seconds i saw your thumbnail and was like ROBERT?!, no thats JAMES. i. love you both.
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
Makari de Suisse is one of those strange brands that have stores in Paris. They often cater to black customers, offering overpriced skin toning and skin “lightening” products with doubtful if not outright dangerous results.
Professional models are called professional for a reason. Yes, they are photoshopped (often way too much) but it’s your job as a model to minimize the amount they need to. It takes a lot of work to upkeep your appearance, body size and fitness (this applies to all sizes of models - if you’re measured for a show or shoot, you need to try to stay the same). Posing and photo shoots are exhausting, takes a lot of awareness and good posture. Casting is boring AF and takes a lot of patience. I did it for a time and the lifestyle was not for me, though I developed a lot of respect for that do it full time.
I'm not a vain woman at all, but had recently been considering cool sculpting for my loose skin around my chin and neck. Unfortunately, double chins run in my family. Every time I see it I feel very unattractive and over time it hurts your confidence. Then I saw what happened to Linda Evangelista and decided to find other ways to boost my confidence. I feel so bad for her. 😞
People realise scleroderma is an autoimmune disease, right??? Autoimmune disease can present at literally any time. If she actually does have it, there's no saying she had it when she had her nose job done, so it's kind of a moot point...
I have used products before that caused my entire body to break out in an deeply uncomfortable rash. There are so many potential causes of dermatitis in skincare...
It's a wild world out there when it comes to skin care. Educate yourself when it comes to skin care ingredients. Even then, you may still have reactions unique to you so then you have to be a detective to figure out which chemical is the culprit. If you have sensitive, or acneic skin lt's better to stick with well known brands with lots of reviews and years of experience in the trade.
I had a similar experience a few years ago. I used a particular shampoo & it literally matted my long hair together, like a lump of chewing gum! It was traumatic, I had to have it cropped at the crown. The manufacturer passed the buck & said it was an isolated case and must be my fault. I was aked to return the product for testing and nothing more happened! If it had happened to a vulnerable young person it could have caused untold damage. I've been vigilant with products ever since.
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.
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?
The skincare brand that caused the model's horrible breakouts (Makari de suisse) seems incredibly scammy... as someone who is Swiss I feel I should point out that I've seen lots of skincare brands abroad (especially in Asia) that are marketed as being 'Swiss' to try and convince people that they're trustworthy brands with innovative formulations (some with a veryyy high price point), when those brands are not available in Switzerland itself and aren't actually produced/developed in Switzerland. Not to be a patriot lol but Switzerland has strict laws on what can & can't be labelled as Swiss products (like how Toblerone had to change their packaging), so if you see skincare marketed as being Swiss, I would def recommend double- and triple-checking that!
This and from someone from asia, i hate when products market themselves as something from certain country. Too bad it works and that's why it still continues to this day.
Not all skincare products from Asia are bad though. Korean and Japanese skincare products are some of the best in the world. Cle de Peau soap (from Japan) is the best I have ever used and got rid of my the stubborn milia around my eyes in a matter of weeks.
I only use trusted brands from Japan, Korea, France (Avene , laroche posay), USA(only major brands/ doctor brands like Zeoskin, Jan Marini). I don’t trust any Chinese skincare or makeup considering how much fake products are from there as well.
I love how you are always compassionate when beauty turns ugly. Sure people make disastrous mistakes, including rich ones whose careers get destroyed by them. Suffering like this sucks no matter who you are; your face can bring such constant shame for everyone.
So when you say no matter who you are even a murderer or a "PDF file" deserves compassion when they suffer? Girl please, enough with your selective compassion.
@@lisam.7392Are you suggesting we should feel sorry for murderers or PDF files or are you suggesting that we should lack empathy for this model? Confused as to why you made this ridiculous comment tbh.
Considering Krasnodar is where that evil POS Paolo Macchiarini got his start in destroying people through surgery, I am not surprised to hear about what happened Yulia. That city is famous for malpractice at this point. I hope Yulia is surrounded by love and support ❤
That man was an absolute devil. It was absolutely wicked what he did to those people. The scandal is how long he got away with it. Medicine attracts lots of good and decent ppl motivated by good intentions but it also attracts a small group that see patients bodies and lives as little more than their personal playground, there simply as a ways and means of them achieving money, notoriety and respect. Surgery seem to be most afflicted with these types. Machiarini is a classic example and very high profile but there have been many over the years. They all show next to no interest in the patient once they have done their 'work.' The relatively new field of transgender medicine has given such ppl a whole new field in which to make their name. Horror stories abound of surgeons promising much and being unable to deliver, worse, leaving young patients with chronic pain, infections and loss of function. Amazingly they seem to be allowed to just break off contact and ignore the same patients they were once so attentive to pre surgery leaving them to find another to fix their handiwork. Unsurprisingly good surgeons are reluctant to touch them and risk being associated with such work. That awful tiktok plastic surgeon is another example, filming her patients while unconscious and uncovered whilst dancing for tiktok videos in the OR!! Women getting breast implants being exposed half naked to strangers whilst unconscious, botched work and again, an unwillingness to engage with dissatisfied patients post surgery. How those patients of Macchiarini suffered! So sad.
@@QueenJaneway I’m in the US. However, I first learned about him through the Swedish docuseries Fatal Experiments. Bosse Lindquist did an incredible job of peeling back the charm and glamour to reveal the devil that Paolo truly is.
Machiarrini was a disgusting narcissist with a knife. The poor young lady on a vent for 4 1/2 YEARS with 197 surgeries broke my heart. I couldn't Imagine why they didn't let her go on hospice sooner....awful the people he murdered.
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 used the popular Vanicream moisturizer for sensitive skin and it literally burnt my face. It was so bad especially around my eyes. I was in soooo much pain. They hurt so badly and my eyes were swollen shut. I ended up having to go to the dermatologist who had to give me steroids and other creams to calm my skin down. It was a chemical burn!! My eyes are still swollen underneath and it’s been over 9 months. I’m not a famous model but it still sucks to have something affect the skin on your face. You can’t hide your FACE! I learned really fast that I have to be careful about what I put on my skin.
Wow that’s so crazy! I had a similar experience w cerave, but it just stung my face & caused some redness whenever I applied it. Ironically, the only moisturizer I’ve been able to use since is vanicream! Tbh I think it was partly my fault, at the time my skin barrier was pretty damaged & I wasn’t as informed on skincare as I am now; I had to make some major changes & do a LOT of research to heal it. However, I also think I might’ve also been sensitive or allergic to some specific ingredient. It’s crazy how different everyone’s skin is.
I saw a woman try and sue a cosmetic surgeon because she couldn’t blink. she wanted an eyelid lift and they removed way too much of her eyelid, eyes stuck open in a wide eye shocked look. She lost the case because the jury said it was elective! Elective! I understand there’s risk involved but when plastic surgeons don’t even get a slap on the wrist it just shows them they can botch people left and right with zero consequences. It’s disturbing, this isn’t like going to a country where it’s cheaper because Theyr doing it illegally, that’s a true risk, these are in expensive high end offices with popular surgeons. The jury didn’t care they felt no mercy was it jealousy? Because they couldn’t get these things done? Why would you see a woman who can no longer blink because she has no eyelids left and get them back and say welp too bad you got the surgery to start if anything it’s youre fault. Smh
It’s probably a lot to do with prejudices surrounding cosmetic surgery. We also don’t know the full story and there might be more to it. Like did she pressure the doctor into making them higher, did she not take care of it post op and it contracted that way, etc. I’m not trying to blame the plaintiff, I’m just a vet myself and I have been accused of some wild stuff by people and unless you hear the full story I could be made to sound evil. Just like with that poor women who got 3rd degree burns from coffee and McDonalds turned the media against her, I wouldn’t want to misread a trial verdict based on one sides statements
Also probably due to misogyny and victim blaming, a lot of people have no empathy towards women who get these kinds of procedures. Not to mention that medical adjacent court proceedings will usually go in favour of the doctor because of their status
The story is of a New Jersey woman named Marilyn Leisz. Her doctor was the one who suggested the procedure knowing she had previous work done on her eyes. She wasn’t a good candidate and he knew her history she trusted him and he over did it and sure maybe he made a mistake doctors and surgeons make major mistakes it’s going to happen we’re human but no real compensation by a jury for now a life long injury? Smh. someone can be awarded millions by a jury for tripping on a hotel lobby carpet lol but oh you can’t even blink anymore? you can’t garden? play sports? you can’t sleep without a mask? No tripping on a carpet you sir get millions lol it’s just comical. He elected to go into that lobby 😅

@@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.
People underestimate how much it affects your self esteem to suddenly become unattractive, Especially when you yourself put so much of your worth into your looks. For me it was acne, and I went from being complimented every time I left the house to even my partners never really mentioning my looks. Sometimes people would comment on ways to fix my acne, but that’s it. Like, boohoo, woe is me, all that stuff, but it is pretty hurtful to have a clear visualization of everyone suddenly deciding you’re not pretty anymore.
I get it, for me it's my nose. I can't stand it, and have wanted to change it for years despite my friends telling me that it adds to my looks and any change would be vain.

removing fat from the face does not make a person look youthful. Quite the opposite actually. I Hate that procedure and I wish people would stop doing it.
Isn't it sad that so many people fell for the buccal fat removal procedure fad? Poor Liam Payne destroyed his handsome face a year ago with a combination of buccal fat removsl and jaw enhancement surgery. Shockingly grotesque results. People have been calling him Squidward. I would guess that Hugo Boss will no longer use him to model in their big billboard and magazine ads.
@@Sophia-lc9ow This is my 3rd attempt at replying to you. The first time it disappeared after I typed it; then when I was almost finished typing it again, my battery ran out and I lost it again! Third time lucky? Here goes: Regarding Liam’s face: A couple of days ago, I did see recent pics of him with his girlfriend Ella, in which he did look somewhat better. He seems to have had some of the extreme jaw bone implants removed, and maybe had some fat put back in his cheeks. Apparently the problem with the cheek fat removal is that the process damages the collagen structure needed to hold the fat in place, so putting fat back is rarely successful; it just acts like fillers that have be continually renewed. Poor guy is going to have life long problems with it now. Such a shame what lack of confidence can do. How could he not know he was very handsome, with a beautifully symmetrical, pleasing face shape?
Completely irrelevant but I thought you’d find this funny- I recently discovered your twin, and I was out of my mind for a minute with this crazy conspiracy about you two (I will admit…. I was inebriated lmfao). I thought Robert was actually you using your skills in video editing to make yourself look like someone ever so slightly different as like… a parody channel to all the people who edit their videos to look “perfect.” Basically I thought you put a scar over your eyebrow with editing and changed your face a bit like you showed us in that one video to mess with people. I was looking everywhere for proof…. Then I found your duo-channel…. I was like, “Ohhhhh- there’s two of them…!” Bahahahahaha!! 🤦🏻♀️😅
Uhh, yes, waiter? I'll have what they're having! 😊 to be fair I was confused as well, at first, but the story you developed is top tier and way more amusing!
You can developer scleroderma later in life. It’s an autoimmune thing and can crop up at any point. She may have had a successful nose job and then in the proceeding years developed scleroderma. It is most often diagnosed in women between 30-50 years old.
Wow learn something new everyday, I have a few family members with it and they all developed it around 18, they did have the more severe form that affects the internal organs though. I just assumed that was the normal age of onset.
I feel like we should talk more about so many young girls and women nowadays pumping their faces with filler. Cheeks, jaw, nose, lips, undereye etc. And are told that filler dissolves which is a lie! Filler migrates! What will these young womens faces look like in a couple of years when they keep adding more filler...
We literally have the scientific research happening in front of us, right now. People are so quick to change themselves instead of accepting the miracle of God’s creation. I just watched a video talking about Kylie Jenner and how her filler has given her bags under her eyes… 🍿👀
Makes people look heavier, like they put on weight in their faces. The moon face look, if they keep topping up. They get used to the look of filler, they think it's gone after a certain time and keep doing it. Personally, I think young people should stay away from procedures when they are already as perfect as they'll ever be. Looking "done" as a young person also makes them look older unfortunately. Then there's these risks.
I worked in optometry for years and sent a lot of older people for routine blepharoplasty- I have never had someone come back with anything but some post-op swelling. Horrifying. :( and the agony of chronic dry eyes is not something I’d wish on anyone
Sadly this does actually look like scleroderma, which can be triggered with any random injury to the skin, even where it hadn't in the past. It can come and go randomly too. Her cheeks are typical scleroderma from my experience. The eyelid thing sounds like malpractice, however, so perhaps it's a mixture of both? But it does show how "low risk" procedures can still trigger things without rhyme, reason or prior indication, unfortunately.
She had the tissue removed from her checks-that was the mini liposuction . scleroderma is spontaneous scarring, so when they did the surgery, she had excessive scarring.
I used a peel off mask once (not sure which brand), that stripped my skin barrier and left me with perioral/periocular dermatitis. It was so bad! Thankfully it was during the pandemic and I was able to stay home and let my skin heal, not wearing make up. It took a long time to return to normal. Its just so unsettling when something like that happens.
It is very common that skin care products cause inflammation on ppl with darker skin. Any product that causes irritation could cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It’s a common side effect of any anti-aging products such as acids and retinoids.
@@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 (UA-cam 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.
I randomly developed an allergy to formaldehyde in high school (it is better now but pretty much in everything, especially hair and skin care, makeup etc). Before this my skin was perfectly clear. After, my skin had severe cystic acne all over, itchy bumpy rashes, hyperpigmentation, tons of scaring, and literally parts of my face would be so broken open and damaged you'd think an animal attacked me. I think it can pop up at any time and if you're switching or using products a lot, or getting procedures done, it can be easy to blame that. Sometimes it really is just our own body, it changes a lot regardless of our past norms. For anyone interested, we tried a lot of things between 2010-2014 with no help at all and it just got worse and worse. I was physically sick from my allergic reaction. Finally when I could afford it (my dermatologist wanted me to get this done ASAP but we had to wait for $$$), I got chemical patch testing done. 100 patches of chemicals m-w, another 100 w-f. I BARELY reacted to formaldehyde, but once I removed it (foods like apples, products etc). I was fine. It took a few years to get my skin back to normal and to get used to knowing what to look out for. If you have had a mystery reaction or acne etc. get tested ifyou can!
@@alexisasheep6554 it used to be a common preservative in skincare products. It was (relatively) safe but some people were sensitive to it so companies switched to phenoxyethanol (same with parabens). Ironically now people are becoming allergic to phenoxyethanol so they’re beginning to switch to new preservatives again lol
There's merit to the doctors claim of scleroderma. You can't definitively test for it, you can be healthy (both appearing and in blood tests) until you have a system insult that causes it to flare. You could have a dozen surgeries and not have a flare up... until you do. Of course, this could also be a convenient excuse for the doctors. I think that if they claim she has scleroderma, tests could be done while she's having symptoms (that they say she's having) to support that claim. However, even without scleroderma, at least some of her symptoms could be explained by damaged nerves and could not be the result of gross negligence (which are not always the same). I wonder how malpractice insurance works in Russia 🤔
I had autoimmune tests done that had markers for limited scleroderma, yet I have no sign of the disease. Wouldn’t something still show up on autoimmune tests for her then?
It would. You would have specific antibodies whether you are having symptoms or not. And scleroderma usually appears in middle age so it is entirely possible she developed it shortly before surgery but did not have problems in the past. It’s a shame but she most likely doesn’t have the facts or a case here.
If she did have scleorderma, it can absolutely be triggered at any time and it wouldn’t be part of any pre surgery tests because it’s a rare autoimmune condition! Why would you??? I think there’s a lot of stuff going on that demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of medical procedure here.
Years ago Bare Minerals powder foundation was all the rage. I am not acne prone at all but the bismuth in that product gave me a million little bumps all over my skin. Which was a shame because the makeup looked great. I also have this reaction to chemical sunscreens which is why I hate it when they add them to foundations.
Same here. Had a makeover with their products and bought them, the brushes, etc. Within a week my skin was red and bumpy with pustules. Had to go on antibiotics and a steroid cream for four weeks to calm it down. Dr said the bismuth can be an irritant to some.
Oh my goodness I had a similar situation! It was a long time ago, but it was when mineral makeup first became popular. It wasn't bare minerals brand, but the one I used was fine when I put it on, so I went to work like normal. As soon as I started sweating tho, my face started burning and itching like crazy, it was so bad I had to run to the bathroom and wash my face at work. My skin was red and bumpy for days, and I've never tried any mineral makeup since.
I have the exact same reaction to most sunscreens, every time it happens I get massively scared of putting on any sunscreen and it takes me a while to convince myself to try another one. Not to mention the waste it creates, I just give those to my mum and sister but it's honestly a bane.

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.
Makari is not similar to French pharmacy. They sell bleaching cream. Never look at the ingredients but could be hydroquinone which leads to hyperpigmentation sometimes especially if the skin is not protected from the sun
I didn't have acne until my early 20s, and have had really bad (and painful - acne can be really effing painful) bouts every now and again over the past decade... and Mariama's reaction to her sudden acne sounds very much like my own... and my face is not my livelihood. I empathise so deeply with her, acne can be extremely damaging to one's mental health (and also... really effing painful!)
I have always thought how painful physically cystic acne must be. I mean they are just like small boils/abcesses really. I had an abcess on the back of my leg and the pain was incredible. So much so that when it burst (yuk) on the way to the hospital the relief was so instant and so great it was pleasurable! Although smaller I can see how painful it must be, especially sleeping if you have it on your back or if you sleep with your face pressed onto the pillow. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. I don't underestimate what it must do to your confidence. 😢
I tried a marula oil (sp?) From the ordinary and triggered eczema on my face. I'm 44 and never had it before. It's not their fault but goes to show you never know.
I used to love marulas as a kid. I noticed it became popular in skincare recently. In haircare too. My daughter has terrible eczema. I will steer clear just in case.
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
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.
I couldn't like this comment fast enough
Oh yes! It’d mess with you a lot! 😢
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.
Honestly, this never occurred to me. But it makes perfect sense!
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.

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 a lot of it is plain old fashioned envy.
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.
People wouldn't dream of saying that to someone like a brain surgeon who had a faulty product injure their hand, for example.
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.

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
If my face was my job I would NEVER risk a new product
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.
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
I don't get along with rosehip oil either. Sun sensitivity, yet it's marked as the best thing since sliced bread
Maybe try jojoba instead.

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
THANK YOU! What doctor is going to test for rare antibodies in someone with no history???
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.
Doesn't upneeq cause the same dry eye issue?
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.
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 wish you best of luck 🍀

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.
She's extremely lucky if her one main symptom is raynauds. I have it too so i know how painful it can be, but small mercies i guess
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?
The "after" in the thumbnail with her eyes was too much 😂😂😂😂😂
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.
Oh my goodness 😢her story is horrific. The doctors who did the damage should definitely be held accountable!
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 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.
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.

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
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
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.

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.
James, you look great! Your face looks amazing. I dont know what it is but somethings different.
Botox? He looks great! So smooth
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.
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.
How was Yulia’s procedures only £3,000?
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.
Your skin looks so moisturized omg
Love your opening statement.
Reminder to always patch test new skincare products!!!
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.
The video quality is amazing 🤩
0:43 Same thing, decades ago, Rosacea triggered by a supposedly specialist face cream (Avène)
Modeling, like a sporting career, is a situation where you compete hard for one of a few spots available and if successful, you are guaranteed that your career will be short-lived. It is a fine temporary hobby, but everyone who cant stay young and fit forever will eventually lose those careers. People in both areas (modeling and sport) should be prepared by professional psychologists for losing everything on which they have based their self-worth and income...either due to age, fashion, bad luck, surgical errors, other environmental factors etc.
Both kinds of jobs are also quite exploitative of young, needy, enthusiastic people who have no sense of vulnerability or future decline. The industries chew them up and spit them out.
hair extentions and lipfiller killed me lmao
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.
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.
"Aren't all models retouched anyway?" - Well, let me tell you. If a light touch-ups for model with generally great skin cost 5.00 USD / image, heavy work could go up to 5x that price and take 5x more time. Now imagine you have 300+ images of this particular model to work with plus a typical tight deadline & high pressure of the fashion world to work on. Would you still hire said model OR would you go with other nice skinned model (plenty to find, by the way) who you know will cost you less time & money? ... Trust me, I've seen retouchers put models out of job because they need heavy touch ups before and those ones still have nicer skin than this, mind you.
Your waistline gets wider? - everyone in the set knows and judges you for it. Your armpits sagging? - oh, this will reflect in the retouching cost and we might not use you in the future. It's not an easy job, you're basically being judged very harshly and in your face 100% of the time. Everything is about cost & profit in this world. Model's face represents the brand, every model knows ... which is why they're also very strict with their face & diet to still be relevant in the industry.
No F’ing way am I just sitting back and letting someone work on my face. What the ever-lovin F?!

Hello 💜
My favorite rosacea/sensitive skin product is Intral anti-redness serum by Darphin. It's expensive, but amazing.
i can usally alway tell you and robert apart bc usually hes wearing makieup, lol could be lack of sleep but for 2 seconds i saw your thumbnail and was like ROBERT?!, no thats JAMES. i. love you both.
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
Oh that's depressing
I'm curious, I live in Switzerland and never heard or seen this brand. Is it known for bleaching specifically?
Makari de Suisse is one of those strange brands that have stores in Paris.
They often cater to black customers, offering overpriced skin toning and skin “lightening” products with doubtful if not outright dangerous results.
I know how she feels not being able to close one of my eyes at some point of my life, but I can’t imagine not being able to close both of my eyes 😭
Professional models are called professional for a reason. Yes, they are photoshopped (often way too much) but it’s your job as a model to minimize the amount they need to. It takes a lot of work to upkeep your appearance, body size and fitness (this applies to all sizes of models - if you’re measured for a show or shoot, you need to try to stay the same). Posing and photo shoots are exhausting, takes a lot of awareness and good posture. Casting is boring AF and takes a lot of patience. I did it for a time and the lifestyle was not for me, though I developed a lot of respect for that do it full time.
1) Always have backup education 2) Surgery and illnesses will bring up autoimmune, so that's a risk. Been there, done that.
I'm not a vain woman at all, but had recently been considering cool sculpting for my loose skin around my chin and neck. Unfortunately, double chins run in my family. Every time I see it I feel very unattractive and over time it hurts your confidence.
Then I saw what happened to Linda Evangelista and decided to find other ways to boost my confidence. I feel so bad for her. 😞
People realise scleroderma is an autoimmune disease, right??? Autoimmune disease can present at literally any time. If she actually does have it, there's no saying she had it when she had her nose job done, so it's kind of a moot point...
I have used products before that caused my entire body to break out in an deeply uncomfortable rash. There are so many potential causes of dermatitis in skincare...
It's a wild world out there when it comes to skin care. Educate yourself when it comes to skin care ingredients. Even then, you may still have reactions unique to you so then you have to be a detective to figure out which chemical is the culprit. If you have sensitive, or acneic skin lt's better to stick with well known brands with lots of reviews and years of experience in the trade.
I had a similar experience a few years ago. I used a particular shampoo & it literally matted my long hair together, like a lump of chewing gum! It was traumatic, I had to have it cropped at the crown. The manufacturer passed the buck & said it was an isolated case and must be my fault. I was aked to return the product for testing and nothing more happened! If it had happened to a vulnerable young person it could have caused untold damage. I've been vigilant with products ever since.
which shampoo brand was it??
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
@dizzieblonde yes, they removed the evidence. I want to believe it was to check the product.
@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.

I have systemic scleroderma and haven't scarred even close to this. Scleroderma can be diagnosed with a simple test. These surgeons messed up.
my moms mother had the same diagnosis as you, and i agree with everything you said
Maybe they were live streaming to IG during her surgery.
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?
The skincare brand that caused the model's horrible breakouts (Makari de suisse) seems incredibly scammy... as someone who is Swiss I feel I should point out that I've seen lots of skincare brands abroad (especially in Asia) that are marketed as being 'Swiss' to try and convince people that they're trustworthy brands with innovative formulations (some with a veryyy high price point), when those brands are not available in Switzerland itself and aren't actually produced/developed in Switzerland. Not to be a patriot lol but Switzerland has strict laws on what can & can't be labelled as Swiss products (like how Toblerone had to change their packaging), so if you see skincare marketed as being Swiss, I would def recommend double- and triple-checking that!
So research!!!!
Do your own research.
This and from someone from asia, i hate when products market themselves as something from certain country. Too bad it works and that's why it still continues to this day.
Not all skincare products from Asia are bad though. Korean and Japanese skincare products are some of the best in the world. Cle de Peau soap (from Japan) is the best I have ever used and got rid of my the stubborn milia around my eyes in a matter of weeks.
I only use trusted brands from Japan, Korea, France (Avene , laroche posay), USA(only major brands/ doctor brands like Zeoskin, Jan Marini).
I don’t trust any Chinese skincare or makeup considering how much fake products are from there as well.
Toblerone is not Swiss? 😀

Considering Krasnodar is where that evil POS Paolo Macchiarini got his start in destroying people through surgery, I am not surprised to hear about what happened Yulia. That city is famous for malpractice at this point. I hope Yulia is surrounded by love and support ❤
That man was an absolute devil. It was absolutely wicked what he did to those people. The scandal is how long he got away with it. Medicine attracts lots of good and decent ppl motivated by good intentions but it also attracts a small group that see patients bodies and lives as little more than their personal playground, there simply as a ways and means of them achieving money, notoriety and respect. Surgery seem to be most afflicted with these types. Machiarini is a classic example and very high profile but there have been many over the years. They all show next to no interest in the patient once they have done their 'work.' The relatively new field of transgender medicine has given such ppl a whole new field in which to make their name. Horror stories abound of surgeons promising much and being unable to deliver, worse, leaving young patients with chronic pain, infections and loss of function. Amazingly they seem to be allowed to just break off contact and ignore the same patients they were once so attentive to pre surgery leaving them to find another to fix their handiwork. Unsurprisingly good surgeons are reluctant to touch them and risk being associated with such work.
That awful tiktok plastic surgeon is another example, filming her patients while unconscious and uncovered whilst dancing for tiktok videos in the OR!! Women getting breast implants being exposed half naked to strangers whilst unconscious, botched work and again, an unwillingness to engage with dissatisfied patients post surgery.
How those patients of Macchiarini suffered! So sad.

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 saw a woman try and sue a cosmetic surgeon because she couldn’t blink. she wanted an eyelid lift and they removed way too much of her eyelid, eyes stuck open in a wide eye shocked look. She lost the case because the jury said it was elective! Elective! I understand there’s risk involved but when plastic surgeons don’t even get a slap on the wrist it just shows them they can botch people left and right with zero consequences. It’s disturbing, this isn’t like going to a country where it’s cheaper because Theyr doing it illegally, that’s a true risk, these are in expensive high end offices with popular surgeons. The jury didn’t care they felt no mercy was it jealousy? Because they couldn’t get these things done? Why would you see a woman who can no longer blink because she has no eyelids left and get them back and say welp too bad you got the surgery to start if anything it’s youre fault. Smh
It’s probably a lot to do with prejudices surrounding cosmetic surgery. We also don’t know the full story and there might be more to it. Like did she pressure the doctor into making them higher, did she not take care of it post op and it contracted that way, etc. I’m not trying to blame the plaintiff, I’m just a vet myself and I have been accused of some wild stuff by people and unless you hear the full story I could be made to sound evil. Just like with that poor women who got 3rd degree burns from coffee and McDonalds turned the media against her, I wouldn’t want to misread a trial verdict based on one sides statements
Also probably due to misogyny and victim blaming, a lot of people have no empathy towards women who get these kinds of procedures.
Not to mention that medical adjacent court proceedings will usually go in favour of the doctor because of their status
The story is of a New Jersey woman named Marilyn Leisz. Her doctor was the one who suggested the procedure knowing she had previous work done on her eyes. She wasn’t a good candidate and he knew her history she trusted him and he over did it and sure maybe he made a mistake doctors and surgeons make major mistakes it’s going to happen we’re human but no real compensation by a jury for now a life long injury?

He seems to have had some of the extreme jaw bone implants removed, and maybe had some fat put back in his cheeks.
Apparently the problem with the cheek fat removal is that the process damages the collagen structure needed to hold the fat in place, so putting fat back is rarely successful; it just acts like fillers that have be continually renewed.

You can developer scleroderma later in life. It’s an autoimmune thing and can crop up at any point. She may have had a successful nose job and then in the proceeding years developed scleroderma. It is most often diagnosed in women between 30-50 years old.

Makes people look heavier, like they put on weight in their faces. The moon face look, if they keep topping up. They get used to the look of filler, they think it's gone after a certain time and keep doing it. Personally, I think young people should stay away from procedures when they are already as perfect as they'll ever be. Looking "done" as a young person also makes them look older unfortunately. Then there's these risks.
I worked in optometry for years and sent a lot of older people for routine blepharoplasty- I have never had someone come back with anything but some post-op swelling. Horrifying. :( and the agony of chronic dry eyes is not something I’d wish on anyone
My mom had it done because her eyelids were blocking part of her vision. She recovered normally.
Sadly this does actually look like scleroderma, which can be triggered with any random injury to the skin, even where it hadn't in the past. It can come and go randomly too. Her cheeks are typical scleroderma from my experience. The eyelid thing sounds like malpractice, however, so perhaps it's a mixture of both? But it does show how "low risk" procedures can still trigger things without rhyme, reason or prior indication, unfortunately.
Does scleroderma eat away at ur facial tissue? Genuinely curious
She had the tissue removed from her checks-that was the mini liposuction . scleroderma is spontaneous scarring, so when they did the surgery, she had excessive scarring.
I used a peel off mask once (not sure which brand), that stripped my skin barrier and left me with perioral/periocular dermatitis. It was so bad! Thankfully it was during the pandemic and I was able to stay home and let my skin heal, not wearing make up. It took a long time to return to normal. Its just so unsettling when something like that happens.
Ceramides are your friend in these cases!! Eucerin has some amazing options
It is very common that skin care products cause inflammation on ppl with darker skin. Any product that causes irritation could cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It’s a common side effect of any anti-aging products such as acids and retinoids.

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.
It was. I cried so hard when I found out
Love that you talk about these cases with respect! Many UA-camrs treat these victims as idiots! You do such a great work! Lots of love from Uruguay ❤
I randomly developed an allergy to formaldehyde in high school (it is better now but pretty much in everything, especially hair and skin care, makeup etc). Before this my skin was perfectly clear. After, my skin had severe cystic acne all over, itchy bumpy rashes, hyperpigmentation, tons of scaring, and literally parts of my face would be so broken open and damaged you'd think an animal attacked me. I think it can pop up at any time and if you're switching or using products a lot, or getting procedures done, it can be easy to blame that. Sometimes it really is just our own body, it changes a lot regardless of our past norms.
For anyone interested, we tried a lot of things between 2010-2014 with no help at all and it just got worse and worse. I was physically sick from my allergic reaction. Finally when I could afford it (my dermatologist wanted me to get this done ASAP but we had to wait for $$$), I got chemical patch testing done. 100 patches of chemicals m-w, another 100 w-f. I BARELY reacted to formaldehyde, but once I removed it (foods like apples, products etc). I was fine. It took a few years to get my skin back to normal and to get used to knowing what to look out for. If you have had a mystery reaction or acne etc. get tested ifyou can!
Formaldehyde like the embalming liquid?
@@alexisasheep6554 it used to be a common preservative in skincare products. It was (relatively) safe but some people were sensitive to it so companies switched to phenoxyethanol (same with parabens). Ironically now people are becoming allergic to phenoxyethanol so they’re beginning to switch to new preservatives again lol
EVERYONE is allergic to Formaldehyde, it's a dangerous carcinogenic.
Formaldehyde is in skincare??? Wtf
Formaldehyde in apples???
There's merit to the doctors claim of scleroderma. You can't definitively test for it, you can be healthy (both appearing and in blood tests) until you have a system insult that causes it to flare. You could have a dozen surgeries and not have a flare up... until you do.
Of course, this could also be a convenient excuse for the doctors. I think that if they claim she has scleroderma, tests could be done while she's having symptoms (that they say she's having) to support that claim.
However, even without scleroderma, at least some of her symptoms could be explained by damaged nerves and could not be the result of gross negligence (which are not always the same). I wonder how malpractice insurance works in Russia 🤔
I had autoimmune tests done that had markers for limited scleroderma, yet I have no sign of the disease. Wouldn’t something still show up on autoimmune tests for her then?
It would. You would have specific antibodies whether you are having symptoms or not. And scleroderma usually appears in middle age so it is entirely possible she developed it shortly before surgery but did not have problems in the past. It’s a shame but she most likely doesn’t have the facts or a case here.
If she did have scleorderma, it can absolutely be triggered at any time and it wouldn’t be part of any pre surgery tests because it’s a rare autoimmune condition! Why would you??? I think there’s a lot of stuff going on that demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of medical procedure here.
Years ago Bare Minerals powder foundation was all the rage. I am not acne prone at all but the bismuth in that product gave me a million little bumps all over my skin. Which was a shame because the makeup looked great. I also have this reaction to chemical sunscreens which is why I hate it when they add them to foundations.
Same here. Had a makeover with their products and bought them, the brushes, etc. Within a week my skin was red and bumpy with pustules. Had to go on antibiotics and a steroid cream for four weeks to calm it down. Dr said the bismuth can be an irritant to some.
Oh my goodness I had a similar situation! It was a long time ago, but it was when mineral makeup first became popular. It wasn't bare minerals brand, but the one I used was fine when I put it on, so I went to work like normal. As soon as I started sweating tho, my face started burning and itching like crazy, it was so bad I had to run to the bathroom and wash my face at work. My skin was red and bumpy for days, and I've never tried any mineral makeup since.
I have the exact same reaction to most sunscreens, every time it happens I get massively scared of putting on any sunscreen and it takes me a while to convince myself to try another one. Not to mention the waste it creates, I just give those to my mum and sister but it's honestly a bane.
Same with me. I’m not good with certain metallic minerals. So can’t use any brands like Bare Minerals or any mineral sun creams
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 ❤️
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.
100% agree. Unfortunately some people are just going to have reactions 🤷🏽♂️
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.
@@gisellesoons6583I do skin patch test on everything I use on my skin.
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.
Makari is not similar to French pharmacy. They sell bleaching cream. Never look at the ingredients but could be hydroquinone which leads to hyperpigmentation sometimes especially if the skin is not protected from the sun
Would explain why she got hyperpigmentation because hidroquinone when use for a longbtime it can make the skin so much worse
It doesn’t have that ingredient! It takes longer than bleaching creams to lighten because it uses less harsh products. ❤
@@rafinha7081nah she likely misused it, didnt use spf, bought dupes, or her skin just doesnt vibe with products
I didn't have acne until my early 20s, and have had really bad (and painful - acne can be really effing painful) bouts every now and again over the past decade... and Mariama's reaction to her sudden acne sounds very much like my own... and my face is not my livelihood. I empathise so deeply with her, acne can be extremely damaging to one's mental health (and also... really effing painful!)
I have always thought how painful physically cystic acne must be. I mean they are just like small boils/abcesses really. I had an abcess on the back of my leg and the pain was incredible. So much so that when it burst (yuk) on the way to the hospital the relief was so instant and so great it was pleasurable!
Although smaller I can see how painful it must be, especially sleeping if you have it on your back or if you sleep with your face pressed onto the pillow.
I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. I don't underestimate what it must do to your confidence. 😢
Check that you are not reacting to milk. I hd acne for two decades only to find out milk was the cause 😩
Could be milk
I tried a marula oil (sp?) From the ordinary and triggered eczema on my face. I'm 44 and never had it before. It's not their fault but goes to show you never know.
I used to love marulas as a kid. I noticed it became popular in skincare recently. In haircare too. My daughter has terrible eczema. I will steer clear just in case.
@@littleboots9800 I can eat them and have no issues so it's not an allergy. Our bodies, especially skin is so weird lol
@@Danisuzetteit could be just too occlusive or there may be a component which is stronger in the oil.
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
I would agree. I only buy from their US website or their US partner site LovelySkin
Most places Makari being a dupe is alot of African stores. I am not sure if they manufacture it there.
