In reply to the discussion: 'Weird': Internet erupts after Karoline Leavitt's apparent admission of pregnancy faux pas [View all]TheRickles
(3,133 posts)27. True, and thanks for the links. My beef is with Krassenstein for what he implies:
that lip-filler injections put pregnancies at risk. The cautions you cite are for body-contouring fillers (butt enhancement, etc.). The incidence of lip-filler causing systemic problems is 0.02% (see my other post), and pregnancy damage has never been documented after that very localized procedure.
Which is to say, Leavitt is vain enough to take the (very low) risk of getting her lips enhanced if it will make her more glamorous today, and the vanity behind the whole Mar-a-Lago look is quite stunning. But still, Krassenstein is resorting to clickbait to make his point when it's not necessary. Everyone can plainly see how out-of-control these image-obsessed, Trumpian caricature women are.

OP
This is stupid beyond belief. Lip filler injection marks?? You are fixated on lip filler injection marks?

Silicone has to enter the bloodstream for emboli to occur, and that only happens with leaking implants.

I basically agree with your cautions, but the OP says that pregnancies are put at risk by lip-filler injections.

He and others are TRYING to point out the *RANK HYPOCRISY* of the staff in the 45 administration

That is absolutely incorrect - silicone injections are NOT approved for cosmetic use, and for a reason
