How can I remove Aquamid?

By joanna13 on 31 Mar 2009

I had a very bad infection after I had Aquamid in my cheeks, but now it seems better; the only thing is, it is very firm, almost like a stone. How can I break it down? The Aquamid company says not to use steroids because it can get worse, just the antibiotics, but it doesn't work. How and where can I get Aquamid removed from my cheeks? Please, I need answers.

Hi Joanna,
I have had Aquamid injected in 2003 but it was injected in the outer layers of the skin, as time went by my skin started to peel badly and now a few lumps are so obvious that I would go to great length to have it removed. Naturally I wish for as little scarring as possible, so if you or any other, can recomend a doctor who can remove it I would like to hear about it. It is by far the worst decision I have made in my life having aquamid injected into my cheeks, I hope there is options to remove it as I now know, despite what the doctor told me, that it will not dissapear after 10 years.
I hope to hear from you. Kind regards
Rudi

Well i had no choice because of the infection so i had surgery to try to remove as much as they could otherwise i would not have it removed...I have a little scar in my cheek but in the future i will fix it :)
