- 20 Mar 2009
I had injected aquamid in my cheeks 3 years ago and on january 08/2009 i had to run to the ER because my right side face was extremelly swelled ,as soon as got in the hospital i did a catscan that show an huge abscess after couple hours i see myself in the surgery room to have the abscess opened(i had general anesthesia).
I stayed 4 days in the hospital taking very strong antibiotics,after that i went home with a drain in my face that i had to change the packing every single day(it is very painful).After 4 weeks my right face swelled again and i had to go to the ER for the second time and they had to reopen the abscess.The pus never stop,it is almost 7 weeks and the pus still coming out.My doctor told me the only option i have is trying to remove the aquamid but in order to do so he has to perform a surgery and take off,soft tissues,muscle and aquamid resulting in a very bad scar right on my right cheek and a deformed face(dent).Now im taking clarithromycin 500mg 2x day and avelox 400mg.Im really scared to have my face deformed its not gonna be easy but im constantly pain.
I hope FDA never ever aprove the aquamid in the US.Never trust a doctor that use aquamid or any permanent filler, just google and you will se several cases like mine.
I live in New York and i was treated in the Mount...

Gloria I really hope you find someone who can help you, and you are right, many things are possible today, like fex face transplantations. But there are risks and sideeffects with these operations. I dont know much about this but i think its possible to loose some feeling in the areas operated on, but its much better then having pain all the time. I think in a few years there will be more knowledge on how to treat permanent filler problems.
Hope we can update and help eachother:)
I just wanted to ask you if you had considered fat transfer to your cheeck? Ive too had aquamid injected to my cheeks when i was 19, and only to weeks later infection showed up.. Its now been 5 years since then and this summer i had fat injected to my cheeks. It was a bit hard to find a surgeon who perform this, because of the scar tissue and the risk of starting a new infection. But I only had 2,5 cc aquamid injected in each cheek and when i had the pus removed i think a lot of the aquamid followed, so it wasnt something i was that scared about. My biggest concern was the risk of uneveness and so on.. BUT, this summer i had 4 cc of fat injected in one cheek and 5 in the other. Ive feel like ive had my life back :) and im looking very much forward to my next injection in january, after my surgeoun has been on another conference.
Ps. I live in Denmark
