    I think I figured out part of why the word “ghoulish” kept coming to mind.

    When the face is full of filler, the eyes become sunken in.

    Just like a ghoul from fallout.

    And then they all have small noses. And these too will sink in.

    So ghoul.

    The thing is, it’s almost impossible to have that filler removed. Plus it has stretched the skin. So removing it would make their face look like how the skin looks in an area of extreme weight loss. That’s kinda whatever on people who have lost weight/had babies , It is what it is.

    But This will really mess up the face. It’s not natural.

    The alternative is to keep adding more filler until the face is 5x thicker and the eyes are so far sunk behind bags of filled flesh that they look black and demonic.

      Plus the filler is absorbed by the body, but at different rates. So in a few years it’s gonna be irregular and lumpy. Some people go to the extreme length of having glass microbeads mixed with the filler (this is illegal in the US) but those migrate around within the tissue. Once you start this shit, it’s just a constant Death Becomes Her maintenance operation to keep it from looking worse.

      Or as they say in Ab Fab, “pretty soon you’re a just visitor in your own face.”
