50 Iconic and Rare Historical Photographs

We at HistoryColored have decided to curate 50 interesting, rare and iconic photos from history. There are many reasons why a photograph may be featured on this list. Some of the reasons include: it was the first time something was ever captured on camera, it shows a famous figure from history, the image depicts an important historical event, it is a “rare” photo that does not get shared as much as it should, or it is an “iconic” historical photo. It may not fall under any of these categories but can still be featured in this list for a different reason.

These photographs are in no particular order. They have been curated and added to the list over a long period of time, so no decision was taken on how they should be ordered. Be sure to take the time to check out every historical photograph featured on this list!

Doctor Reveals: MRI Scan Of The Face Of A 33-Year-Old Woman Reveals Where All Of Her Filler Went

A medical surgeon gained international recognition by sharing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) footage that showed how a patient’s injected hyaluronic acid fillers developed and moved on their own over time. Thousands of viewers were shocked by the results and acknowledged that their implanted fillers had never dissolved.

Dermal fillers are defined by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery as gel-like substances that are injected into the skin to improve facial features, smooth wrinkles and soften creases, and restore lost volume. According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, dermal fillers are substances that resemble gel and are injected into the skin to enhance facial features, soften creases, smooth wrinkles, and replenish lost volume.

According to the board, more than a million men and women select this well-liked face rejuvenation procedure annually. Hyaluronic acid is a common injectable filler kind that is also the most temporary. Usually, hyaluronic acid fillings last six to eighteen months. Oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Kami Parsa gained notoriety after posting an MRI video online. On Friday, July 12, Dr. Kami Parsa, an oculoplastic surgeon from Beverly Hills, California, posted a video of an MRI of a patient on his TikTok profile.

The movie demonstrated how the injections had changed the patient’s face. Over the preceding six years, the patient, a 33-year-old woman, had received more than 12 CC, or 12 milliliters, of hyaluronic acid filler injections. The movie’s MRI, which has received over 7.2 million views, showed a grey face with green dots lighting up in different spots, such as the cheeks and lips, to show where the remaining hyaluronic acid filler was.

The patient’s procedures were not disclosed by Dr. Parsa. He did, however, confirm that the material equaled 28 CC after doing a volumetric assessment to ascertain the woman’s filler amount. In the video, the physician said, “which is more than twice the amount of filler that was injected.” “This proves that hyaluronic acid fillers are hydrophilic,” he went on.

This indicates that they both enjoy being in water and stimulate tissue growth. An individual on TikTok expressed concern over the MRI, saying, “I just don’t see how this wouldn’t completely destroy the lymphatic system.” Someone wrote, “Finally, THIS IS BEING TALKED ABOUT.” “Mass production and impulsive, insane use.” I must find out more.How about botox? “Botox has a long history and is safe if performed correctly,” was the response from Dr. Parsa. The patient’s hyaluronic acid filler dosage has increased, as shown by the MRI.
