Bugjune! Baby! Wow, what a story!!! You know, a few things stand out to me. I have a background in pre-hospital medicine, and I was wondering, if you were instructed to go to your GP for the follow-up with all of the symptoms you experienced vs. going to your dermatologist? Also, I wanted to make sure I understood that you actually got your procedure done by an assistant PA or the actual Surgeon?
Second, just for the record, skin under the eyes is WAY more thin, sensitive, and more easily damages vs. skin around your mouth, i.e., when the discussion was re: the juvaderm injection possibilities with re: to the "melted" look under the eye vs. around the mouth. It makes some sense, BUT was that point ever addressed in particular by your dermatologist as to why this happened?
Did your dermatologist take any responsibility for what happened with you? It sounds like you went to a few doctors, and were told different things, and it sounds at least like your dermatologist should have provided you more answers than you were given, and he should have known right away more than not, as to what was happening with you BECAUSE it was SKIN related! And that is supposed to be their forte`.
You are a very sweet and brave girl to post everything you did. And I am planning to get the mixto on my face, fraxel on my neck and chest in about 14 days! So to read your scenario was disturbing, but I do agree that you have something that should have been brought out in the history and physical, or at least attempted, as with having a problem with staph, although people may not know something like that UNTIL something like this happens because their system isn't put under "just the right set of stressors/circumstances," you know? In any case, do let me know the answers to these as you are able.
My doctor, who I have known for 17 years, and who is an adjunct professor to a local teaching college at UCI, is someone I trust completely. He says he does not want to "over-promise and under-deliver," so he is very realistic about what things feel like and what they will look like. He said he has never had anyone have a bad reaction, and that it "usually feels like a bad sunburn for about 3-5 days, or longer if skin is very sensitive, which mine is, but I have had a chemical peel under my eyes about 10 years ago with him and the worst of it was the "burn!" JESUS!
Then it was gone and the new baby skin was so damn soft! :)
Anyhoo, get back to me when you can and you have my deepest regards and hope you are doing well.
