When beauty becomes self-destructive
The phenomenon known as the "Bubble Face" that has appeared in China and South Korea relates to facial swelling and puffiness following cosmetic injections containing unapproved growth factors, which are being promoted via social media. The issue began when young women received injections aiming to restore a youthful appearance and a plump face, but years later, unexpected swellings and enlargements emerged, leading to distorted features, along with fatty tumors and tissue hypertrophy. Medical professionals warn that injecting growth factors, which are not subject to strict health regulations, can cause serious complications such as uncontrolled cell growth and the potential development of cancerous tumors. These substances had not received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and their use has been banned in China since 2019, with recent warnings issued by the United States and the United Kingdom. Experts advise increasing awareness, verifying the legality of procedures, and consulting trusted sources before undergoing any cosmetic treatments.
