In this episode, host Erin Alonso, MSN, FNP, founder of DermFx Medical Spa, is joined by Amber Johnson of Facial Lounge to dive into some of the most shocking and heartbreaking stories in aesthetics.
They start with the curious case of Brandi Glanville—the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star who claims a parasite is doing gymnastics under her skin, causing major changes to her face. On top of that, she’s missing a lot of teeth, which has altered her facial structure, leaving many wondering what’s really going on.
But the discussion takes an even more serious turn with the story of a woman who went blind from a nose filler injection—a rare but devastating complication. Even more disturbing? The doctor who injected her refused to help, leaving her desperate for care.
Erin and Amber also open up about their own personal experiences with surgeries gone wrong and the lack of proper aftercare from doctors. Shamefully some doctors are more than happy to take people’s money but disappear when things don’t go as planned.
From shocking celebrity cases to real-life patient experiences, this episode sheds light on the risks of aesthetic procedures, the importance of choosing the right provider, and the need for better patient care in the industry.
