Kirill Tereshin, known as Russia's 'Popeye', is facing severe consequences from the dangerous injections he used to artificially enlarge his arms. As a result of these injections, Tereshin has contracted a rapidly progressing infection in his arms and is at risk of losing them. Doctors indicate that Tereshin may have to undergo a double arm amputation.

Kirill Tereshin, known as Russia's Popeye, is facing severe consequences from the dangerous injections he used to inflate his arms, which have turned into a serious infection. Doctors indicate that the young man may lose both of his arms.

The "Russian Popeye," Kirill Tereshin, who artificially enlarged his muscles with dangerous injections, is now facing the heaviest price after seven years of ongoing injections. The rapidly progressing infection in his arms has put the young man at risk of losing his arms. It is reported that Tereshin may have to undergo double arm amputation.

MUSCLE TISSUE STARTED TO DECAY

The 29-year-old Tereshin, who injected substances similar to petroleum jelly into his muscles for a long time, has developed severe inflammation, tissue fibrosis, and tissue death in his arms. The rapidly advancing infection has caused decay and open wounds in his arms.

Doctors state that multiple skin graft surgeries are necessary for him to save his arms. However, these surgeries cannot be performed until the infection in his body is completely cleared.

SURGEONS WARN: "TIME IS RUNNING OUT"

Experts emphasize that a collaborative effort between vascular surgery, plastic surgery, and reconstructive surgery is needed to save Tereshin's arms. However, the aggressive progression of the infection increases the likelihood of arm loss every day.

Tereshin expresses his regret these days, stating that the appearance he achieved through injections has put his life in danger.

Tereshin began injecting chemicals in 2017 and gained significant media attention worldwide due to his massive arm muscles. In 2019, some of the damaged tissues were removed.
