Not Worth It
Spent: $4,500 in United Kingdom

I had Macrolane done about 4.5 months ago and initally loved the results, however the effects (fullness) has all but worn off(after only 4 months).

has anyone else had this experience after such a short time or am I a exception?

Alot of money for a very very short time impact.

My Doctor:

He was the authority in the field in the Uk, great personal skills (unlike most cosmetic doctors) and researched the options and he is the best in this area.

I too had the procedure in the UK and was happy at first with the results. Now, again 3 months later I am back to my original size. It seemed to take a long time to soften (5-6 weeks) however since softening the macrolane started disappearing straight away. What clinic did you have yours done int eh UK? I had my procedure doen in Hans Place.

Hi. mine only lasted 4 months and its all gone.I am very angry because i paid £2800.That is too much considering the amount it last. I think its wrong to advertise saying it lasts for 12 to 18 months.that is such a lie and false advertising.I wish theer was somewhere i could put in an official complaint and get some of my money back.

Hi, I was really inpressed with the results in the first week! I could see in the first week that they had gone down. The Dr said it was the swelling that had gone down. 8 months later I am back to normal. I don't recommend this product to any one ever!!! its not worth the amount of money with only a few months or should I say weeks of joy.

I was the first woman in S.A to have had this "wonderful product" called macrolane done. Well I am horribly disapointed by the result of the product. They lie when they say after 12 to 18 months you will only see the change...... afer a few weeks I can see the change! it is now 8 months and I am back to normal.... might as well throw all the bra's etc I had to buy away! Ladies go for the implants rather. don't waste your money on this product. JUST NOT WORTH IT
