Hello,
5 or 6 years ago I had bioalcamid, to let my face seem wider at the back of my jaw bones. I was happy with the product, especially with the low cost of the treatment (1000 Eur is about 1400 $), and the long duration of the good look it gave me.
Up until 10 days ago...

I had Bio-alcamid injections in my cheeks to fix the facial atrophy that was caused from Lipodystrophy. It totally changed my life for the better. How nice to look normal instead of having the sunken cheeks and skeletal looks. I am very happy with the results. I only wish they would approve it...

This product is dangerous and misleadingly marketed. I had it injected into my lips and cheeks when about 7 years ago. The women made a hash of it and her only concern seemed to be injecting as much product as possible.
A few years down the line I developed a massive infection in my lips...

I had a procedure done 6 years ago, and I absolutely hate this doctor's work. This man actually thinks he can do no wrong, and he doesn't care less if you are satisfied or not. It's all about money to this Doctor, he won't offer to pay for your transportation back and forth to...

Bio-alcamid: was it worth it?
Bio-alcamid Information
Bioalcamid is a permanent filler made from 96% water and 4% syntheric polymer (poly-alkyl-imide). Bioalcamid is designed to stimulate collagen growth which forms round the filler.
According to the manufacturer, "Bio-Alcamid serves facial lipoatrophy (facial-wasting), a severe and destructive side-effect which can be a result of antiretroviral drugs used in HIV therapy."
Bio-alcamid is used "off label" for plumping skin, facial folds, and wrinkles
