Kaley Birge, a registered dietitian, had to undergo a painful procedure to drain infected liquid from the mass, which continued to ooze pus for more than two weeks. Doctors identified the 'tumor' — which she's named 'Chimothy' — as an abscess, which had developed as a result of an infection at one of the injection sites.
Speaking about the ordeal in a series of TikTok videos, Ms Birge said: 'I'm going to cry I'm so disgusted. I'm having a hard time talking about this because it is so gross to me and I feel like I'm going to throw up.' In one clip, she can be seen attempting to empty the contents of the mass by squeezing it, which forced blood and pus to come oozing out.
TikToker Kaleysfavs said her dermal filler became infected because she was experiencing an acne breakout when she underwent the cosmetic procedure Ms Birge said she was covering the infected area with makeup to avoid embarrassment when she went to work Ms Birge, who posts videos under .
