Bio- Alcamid Ruined my Youth

I completely agree, this has cost me thousands of pounds and unmeasurable emotional upset x

Hang in there Blondie, what a nightmare!!!! Has all of the product been removed? It sounds just like what happened to me and at the same age. It sounds as though all the product in your lips is harbouring infection and should all be removed. Good luck and stay strong. I have the name of a brilliant Dr in London if you should need a second opinion xx

My lips were ruined because of this stuff, they had to be cut open and completely inverted so the doctor could pick it out with tweezers. I'm with you Suchin, I do not know how the company gets away with it. Interestingly they have just tripled their wholesale price according to the Dr that helped me. I guess its easier to put prospective users of because of the price and gradually render the product obsolete than withdraw it from the market; that would look like an admission of guilt. Class action suit anyone? I am sorry you did not enjoy your Birthday; although you current ordeal is terrible you will get through this. It sounds as though you are making progress x

I'm so sorry to hear about your ordeal suchin. I posted my disastrous experience of BA last year which resulted in a 2-3 hr op to have it cut out from my lips. I have just had my forth re constructive fat grafting op to repair the damage done by this product. In total I must have spent about £7000 having this product removed, and the area that had to be cut away reconstructed, following the infection. I really don't want to scare you but my case illustrates how out of control these infections can get, so please get emergency help ASAP. The long term costs to repair the damage can far exceed the cost of dealing with this quickly. It sounds like everyone is giving you great advise, I am not a doctor but I would not have anything injected into the original site, any further probing carries a significant risk of causing another infection. Please go to the ER if you possibly can. It sounds as though this is a terribly difficult situation for you and there is no easy option. Are there any surgeons who work with the product in S.A who you could maybe contact to ask for advise? It might be worth having a look on the net to see if you can find someone. I'm sure that if you explain what you are going through they could offer some good advise?

I agree, I've been left thousands of pounds out of pocket because of this product. My doctor also denied putting it in my lips and actually said his only injected the outside and it migrated with I could not believe! I don't know what other people think but maybe we should approach the manufactures for an answer?
