As a chronic pain patient, while I don't understand why he took the risks to get to how he is, I feel sorry that he's living in pain. No matter the dumb decision, nobody deserves chronic pain.

[vladislava]

I feel sorry for him, I don’t wanna even try to judge him. This guy looks so sad, you can literally read it in his eyes. And it’s even more sad that his condition is irreversible. I hope he’ll find help for his mental health and will have merry life

[carolegeddes]

My heart goes out to him. It is so sad. I hope this young man can get some psychological help to fight his body issues.

According to Jerry Brainum, an old school bodybuilder who is VERY knowledgeable about all things nutrition and fitness, synthol will eventually break your muscle tissue down into scar tissue - yikes.

[caroljeanscott]

I think this is such a sad case. There are so many people that are physically disabled and would do anything to have normal body. Then for someone who is physically fit do that to their body is so heartbreaking. It is too bad he did not have somebody step in and help him out before he ruined his health.

[yooperskeptic]

He looked so good before he started any of it!

[ceilinh]

Wow. I knew that injecting Synthol wasn't a good idea, but I didn't realise quite how destructive it was, or that the effects couldn't be reversed.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Synthol is a dangerous road, arguably even more dangerous than anabolics

[amethystscorner]

This case got me thinking. If a patient came to you, and they admitted to having body dysmorphia and we're trying to change their body in a way that would probably be unsustainable and permanent, would you be allowed to prescribe mental health treatments before allowing surgeries? What would be the procedure on that?
For example, I was trying to get a new mental health medication, but my doctor said due to my low BMI I would have to visit a psychiatrist about my poor eating habits before they could continue with treatment for my other issues.
So if someone comes to you for cosmetic surgery, and it's very clear that they have a body dysmorphia which might make them somewhat under the influence of mental health, do you consider it ethical to proceed with physical treatment?

[ShardulIyer]

Just one more addition - synthol originally was created with certain edible oil & fat blend by some bodybuilders who wanted to kinda cheat for competitions & thus supposed to be absorbed in the body later like saline. It's supposedly said to be inspired by fat transfer/sculpting by plastic surgeons. However these days, only certain people (with supposedly psychological issues) just pump more dangerous blends of oil & fat that aren't edible in the first place thus causing cysts in the injected regions or worse puss in infected sites. This is why this & one more person who's addicted to synthol and definitely has some sort of body dysmorphia (maybe bignonia) chase quick transformation methods like these. In short, please please don't do this as it's even worse than illegal steriods & even more dangerous.

“Don’t inject yourself with horse hormones” Dr. Youn.

Thanks Doc, never thought of that.
🤷‍♂️

[aethergasm]

Dr. Youn's face is tue exact face I see on everyone who finds out about synthol oil. 🤣 I remember that guy in europe who had to have his mucles operated on to remove puss, in a documentary. Then he went and started injecting again after surgery. I was diagnosed with body dismorphia over a decade ago and I struggle with it too. My husband has it mildly as well because he works out a lot but still thinks he is skinny and is bewildered when he puts on a suit for work and adjusts his tie and rips the sleeves. We both can't imagine the level of desperation and psychosis that someone would resort to in order to look like they were transforming into Tetsuo from Akira. (Japanese anime) We feel for them because its hard never knowing how you look until you see past photos of yourself and don't remember looking that way at all or not recognizing yourself. I hope this condition becomes more known and understood because it is extremely confusing on a daily basis. Hope he gets help. As well as all the other chronic users. 😢

When Dr. Youn was describing what BDD was there was an illustration of a skinny girl sadly looking into a mirror with an image of her self busty and curvy. But I think a more accurate representation would be that image reversed, where the real woman is curvy and busty and she’s sad looking at the mirror of a scrawny girl representing what ever insecurity someone might have. It’s a condition where you don’t see your self perfect and beautiful, even if you are. I’ve had it, I’m on anti-depressants to begin my treatment and I already am starting to love all my curves and strangeness. It’s addressing the anxiety that I think helps the most to be honest. (My anti-depressant helps with both.)

[quinn]

Somehow I didn’t know until this video that it can’t be removed at all. That, is terrifying.

[lubnan]

Wow. I feel sorry that he did this to himself. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

[gabidois]

As a Brazilian (this guy is Brazilian too), he sounds to me like a very simple person. I'm not saying this to be mean or classist, but I do think he didn't fully understand what he was getting into, and someone took advantage of him to sell this product, with no regard for his safety at all, and it snowballed from there. It is indeed a very sad situation :/

[anikarodriguez]

Valdir Segato was another Brazilian that died on August this year because of the same.

[vaughnhaney]

Tbh I'm curious whether those muscle stimulating devices provide strength. I'm so weak from never exercising (i didn't even play as a child) and years of struggling to manage chronic illness (which caused malnutrition) that I pretty much can't exercise, anything beyond my daily routine just isn't really possible. I wouldn't be able to afford such a thing myself but I wonder for others in my situation

[candlelightlove]

omg i know this has nothing to do with the content of the actual video but my mother language is portuguese and the captions on the original vid are wrong so many times 😭
that part where he talks abt how he was working in church and the little girl wouldnt come to church bc of him.. he never even mentioned a church 😭😭 he just said he was working at his job (he then calls it “serviço” which means service so it COULD have something to do with churches as serviço could mean sermon but he’s probably talking about his job as a cop that he mentioned early bc we use “serviço” to talk about any job). then he said a woman came up to him and said “my daughter is 12 and she thinks you’re a monster”. again, no mentions of any church 😭😭 he also never said he tried to take his life, he just said he got depressed and they discharged him bc of that.
its not a big deal of course but its kinda crazy to see ur own language being translated wrongly like that and see everyone reading the captions and saying “ah thats what they said” when it is not. i wonder the amount of wrong captions ive read and the things that got lost in translation because of not knowing the language…
anyway thanks for the educational video once again 👍

[izskylar]

oml i actually was surprised to see that he's from Brazil too @-@
