I have had dermal fillers many times and each time , i end up with lumps . Lumps that hurt and seem to want to push out of my skin . I have had SubQ , Restylane and Perlane and each time i get told that i wont end up with lumps . I have had to have filler disolved on many occasion as its the only way the pain and lumps will go . In august of this year i went to Thailand and had Blepharaplasty on upper and lower eyelids , i also had a Mid Facelift and Tummy Tuck . Surgery went well but i had extreme swelling which turned out to be 2 DVT's , i was readmitted to hospital and spent 8 days receiving treatment for my blood clots , i was given Warfarin . Day 8post op i had a small lump near my left temple and massaged it gently , it was painful and hard , the lump turned into more of a blister and i left it alone . Next morning the "blister" was red and sore , i showed the nurses and it was just left alone . Surgeon had a look and i was told to leave it alone . Travelled home 9th Sept and went straight to GP ,my whole face was throbbing , given more anti biotics , was already on them from surgery . Three days later the "blister " burst and it was full of pus , it left a hole and it drained for days . Had ultrasound and it showed a lesion , had swab taken and it was clean , blood tests were clean also . It finally healed up and now i have a new one right beside the first one , which is where i had my fillers . I have now had a swollen infected face for 7 weeks and the only thing i have been told is that it is a Sterile Infection . I have seen a PS , GP and Dermatologist . I have rheumatoid arthritis but i am in remission at the moment . Can someone please help !!!

Oh wow, that looks so painful. Did any of the doctors you saw think these blisters had to do with the past fillers?

Hi Jill81 , yes the doctors have mentioned that this could be related to old filler . I have not had filler for several months and dont intend to have any more .

To Pragmatic and Britt44, this poor woman was very brave to share her story on here and you are both rubbing salt in her wounds. God help you both!

Yes, with juvederm under the eyes. I was WAY overfilled resulting in lumps and bumps. Finally after four years of not wanting to look in the mirror decided to have it dissolved. Best decision I ever made. Now I am looking for an expert injector in the Seattle since the under eye area is very unforgiving. Wish I knew that four years ago! I hope you get your situation resolved as well!

Do you remember how much filler was injected under your eyes when you did it?
November 4, 2013
1 syringe. It wasn't the amount, it was the crappy technique he used. Very superficial.

Your absolutely right Juvedermisgone ..... if it is injected incorrectly this is why we are having problems

Hello! I live in Spain, near Barcelona and I filled my face once three years ago with Juvederm in Clinica Londres and everything was ok! Tomorrow I am refilling small parts of my face with another doctor but he uses Perlane Restylane.

Thank you Merce for your comment . You are lucky that you can use these products , they do work so well . Unfortunately i seem to have a reaction to them .

This really looks more like a staph infection, especially since you described the sore leaving a deep hole and draining for several days. We all carry a certain amount of staph on our bodies (mostly in the nose). My biggest concern is that it can turn into a more resistant staph infection called MRSA. Especially since the sore is very close to the eye. Please research staph or MRSA infections. They can be very disfiguring and life threatening.

Thank you so much Toula , i did research MRSA and i dont think i have it . I have had several blood tests and swab of the area concerned , nothing showed up and the results were clear of bacteria .
Thank you for your comments , i had no idea what MRSA was ... you learn something every day xx
Stop having injections of fillers and deal with your imperfections. By now it should be obvious that your body doesn't fare well with these procedure. If you are a smoker, that would explain a great deal.
