Yes, the painful Aquamid injections - and do your research re- adverse reactions. They can happen spontaneously weeks, months or years later. I will never use Aquamid again.

Hi K - thank you for taking the trouble to share your story. I totally sympatise. I have been going through a similar experience thus past four months. Inflammations, disfiguring abscesses, pus and inffections, itchy red skin; can't smile properly; can't drink without dribbling as I have lost sensation in my lips; endless antibiotics; sleepless pain-filled nights; no social activities; lost money through time off work; the horrir of seeing pus seeping from your lips; can't kiss for fear of it coming out under the gentlest pressure. It us a NIGHTMARE. i contacted the distributing company in Australia, Mondeal, who have told me that that are unaware of adverse reactions to Aquamid - yes, really, that's what they actually wrote - and also put forward a couple of ideas which effectively abdicate any responsibility for their product by writing that I somehow did this to myself through a lip injury - which is also totally untrue. They have since written again to pretty much tell me it's not their problem; paraphrasing here - they wasn't that straightforward. I intend to take legal action against them. Let me know if you would like to join me. T.
