TERRIBLE. NEVER INJECT A PERMANENT FILLER around your eye area. It is too thin to really take it in and the fat will not cover it. This was done in Mexico and this is what happened within one month of the injection.

Great review?

I just had an identical experience. I had cheek implants removed because of in infection. When the implants came out, I was left with a lot of flatness in the left temple area. My doctor injected articol into the area and what resulted was almost identical to what I see in this picture, only my lump was just a few cm higher. By chance, I called another plastic surgeon here in Nashville, Joseph Delozier, who has worked with artifill for some time. I asked him if there is any way to deal with a lump like this. To make a long story short, I saw Dr Delozier yesterday. He injected saline into the knot which, I suppose, caused the material to disperse ... and it did disperse. Today, which is the day after the injection, the lump has improved by about 65% to 70%. This lady would probably benefit equally as well, though it may take two sessions. I'm extremely lucky having had the presence of mind to contact an experienced doctor.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry you are having such a bad experience. Thank you for making sure we knew this was done outside of the U.S.

Have you been to see any other doctors since you had it done to see what advice they might be able to offer?

My first experience with artifill / articol / artesense ... whatever you want to call it, was with Keven Smith in Canada, prior to the product being approved by FDA here in the U.S. I had a magnificent result, visited him three times traveling from Nashville Tn to Niagara Falls, ON in Canada. No lumps, no problems. I believe that Kevin Smith was one of the first to begin injecting the product.
