No. I have had three excellent injectors throughout the years and I am very happy with them. Unfortunately two are in Florida -where one of my houses is located- and the other here in Seattle - where I live most of the time. I will post my experiences about them.
I do not have any of these illnesses; to the contrary my immune system works very well and have no diagnoses of any kind, My question was precisely because I was told I could develop these illnesses if I continue using Botox.
I went to Florida to another plastic surgeon. He did take the time needed to inject Artefill properly, so I returned six months later again to Florida to have the procedure done again. So far I spent over $5000 on Artefill. It did tried to build collagen a bit for a few months after my second injector, but no, my nasolabial folds look just like before. So I am going back to Radiesse and this time I will stick to dermatologists.
I have not written my review of Dr. Naficy before, even though he injected me over one year ago because I just so angry I knew I was not going to be fair. Now I can do this: I have been a regular user of dermal fillers and have had several plastic surgeries for the last four years. None of the fillers last more than a few weeks (Perlane) or two to three months (Radiesse), so I decided to try Artefill. I went to Dr. Naficy trusting the reviews in RealSelf. He injected "Artefill" in exactly ONE TO TWO MINUTES EACH SIDE on the tip of the fold of my nasolabial folds, telling me that the product would go down BY ITSELF. I protested but he left the room immediately. I paid him $2500 for the two syringes and never went back. The product, whatever it was, made a lump on boh sides of my face, that I frantically tried to smooth at the parking lot of his building. Within two, three days NOTHING was there anymore. He is a HUGE RIPOFF. You have been warned.
