Silicone Injections for Symmetry - Portland, OR

What is the exact amount and price per syringe used of the Silikon 1000, & the same question for the regular Silicone filler injection? Also, is there a difference between the two products, Silikon1000 and Silicone fillers? thank you..much :)

Oops, my response was suppose to be in agreement with AJ. Sorry bout that Simba :)

I agree with Simba that Dysport is the danger. Infact, there were actually 16 deaths reported from Dysport injections treating children for spasdic dysplasia & also over 250 cases of others with serious side effects Dysport basically slipped through the cracks (FDA approved) labeled with a warning called blackbox warning. This was approved in April 2009. The irony is that when Dysport was officially released with this WARNING~ most doctors did not share the serious dangers associated with Dysport! Its a money maker & to hell with what its capable of doing to a person! I personally have also had Restalyn & a few other fillers & with no side effects whatsoever. Read my story...

Hi Blue2, I'm so sorry for what you're going through with dysport. Hopefully, it will wear off for you. It's so hard to know. Hopefully, it hasn't caused you nerve damage or to your glands. And with dry eyes/ vision impairment. I lost all tearing ability, which then had caused terrible eye infections, etc. I got so sick as it progressed with spreading into my lungs & causing pneumonia, & diagnosed with emphysema. I don't smoke. I don't want to make you feel worse or to scare you more than you already are.
My experience too was a first & also very horrible which had caused me permanent injury. Did you research on it & talk to your doctor about possible side effects? I ask this because dysport has been on the market for awhile now in the U.S. since 2009, as the FDA then approved for it to be used, but only with a black box warning. Not all doctors are making known to the patients about this warning & with the reports of serious side effects. I had my experience shortly after it was FDA approved in 2009, just a few months later as a Christmas gift to myself & was not informed by my doctor, nor was made aware of the black box warning. It nearly killed me.

Good luck & God Bless. I hope you get better, too.

thank you so much eliza :) I'm past with having to apply the heat to my eyes. I did do this during the first year. The dysport literally damaged my lacrimal glands which the bacterial poisoning caused the paralyzing of my tear ducts, causing bacterial infections, then progressing into malt lymphoma cancer. A rare diagnosis of this form of lymphoma to grow. You are also in my prayers. The Retuxin chemo treatments helped with the infections. I still have zero tears, No tearing with my cries :( yet I was able to start wearing the day & night oxygen lenses after the chemo & still using Restasis. i would be at a total loss too without the 6000 mg of flaxseed. I make my own soymilk too & I think that helps because I also add flaxseed, brown rice & oatmeal. Blackseed, lutein, St.Johns Wart, & DHEA are also beneficial for dry eyes. I'm dealing with so much anger though & I feel so cheated, for the fact that I did research in 2009 before having this done. I had never had this done or botox before. I didn't like that frozen look, lol.. So it was a big thing for me to dare myself with dysport. Its weird because not until after I had the injections, that my life did a crazy turn around. I had never experience dry eyes before, I did sometimes have itchy eyes & occasionally a little eye swelling from seasonal allergies, yet Patanol or Claritin took care of it. My vision was normal with using only reading glasses for reading & the computer. I've always been a tearful passionate crier over everything. Good & bad :) When the next day after those injections my eyes got so sore, it's bizzaar that the eye doctors analogy was exactly how I diagnosed my eyes looked & felt, i.e. like they had been shot with a sandblaster. Then shortly after that, instantly NO tears...I recall sobbing because I was terrified with devastation. Yet, I could'nt tear whatsoever. I was shutting down inside with no way to vent. Then the infections started, with body aches. I had already back problems, so that part was hard to decipher. Exercise always helped. Then just a few months a lump was found in my neck. The poison traveling into my lungs. August 2010, I woke up with severe double pneumonia as I was also diagnosed with emphysema. I don't smoke. Another strange diagnosis because this new doctor said that my lungs looked like they'd been torched from a 'sandblaster'. The same analogy as my eyes, so weird. In my family I was known as being a health nut, so to speak. I was an athlete since 1990. So this to happen the way it did, is too bazaar & unethical. My anger is mostly, for wrong in the legal system & how I'm being delt with about my life. I don't take life for granted & I know better. I'm frozen with anger & will never give up for whats happened to me. I see & feel with all my heart for you & all the other people injured from dysport. It concerns me about the doctor patients relationship. The doctors honesty with their patients. I really found out a lot about that poison~after my injury. Much more of the truer negative, than what I initially found out when I was first researching. And how many people would really make the call for their initial appt. excite for having these injections, if they had read about what the FDA kept hidden away before tacking on the black box warning. And how many ladies are really familiar with such a thing, unless their doctor is up front & discloses the dark side? Like the 16 children treated with dysport for spasdic displasya, yet they died, & there had already been over 250 reported cases to the FDA with serious side effects. Yet, Dysport was still nevertheless released with the black box warning to the doctors. This was in May of 2009. My injury was in Dec of 2009. How many doctors & the media 'in that time frame' OPENLY made it known to all of us consumers of such truth of tragedies, followed with the seriousness of the BLACK BOX WARNING? Infact, is just me with my righteous reason for anger ? While I was suffering, I researched like hell to get answers & seeking help. Then the more I found out & documented, I was running out of time. And losing my power against what I believed to be justice. I do blame my doctor. I also blame the FDA & Dysport. Ironically, several lawyers say that I have case, however the statute of limitations ran out. How convenient. I recall so many lawyers I contacted while, I was suffering. Them in turn sending me to other lawyers, etc. Times up.. I'm the innocent person & I shouldn't have to fight for justice.
I won't be satisfied until I'm compensated for my life & the extreme suffering that I'll never get back. A simple tear isn't enough, or will I ever be able to shed. Not to mention the big one., like having an in cureable cancer. I don't even believe in disease..
