I have Artefill injected on nasolabial fold multiple times over the years. My nasolabial fold area is very fleshy and fatty and the Artefill makes it worse. The area feels hard like cement. My questions: 1. Can surgical excision be done using intraoral incision? Artefill is localized on my smile line about 1 inch long. 2. Can I have nasolabial fold subcision to release the skin with Artefill in the subcision area? 3. Can I remove Artefill during bullhorn liplift using the liplift incision?
I had Artefill injected above my upper lip, on the bridge of my nose and a few other places on my face about 2 years ago. It has Hardened in all of the sites. The Dr tried injecting Kenalog which did not help at all and may have made it worse. Is there any way to remove this stuff? I'd rather have the wrinkles.
did this in a korean hospital called banobagi by a highly-experienced doctor who keeps telling me don't worry too much. but after knowing that the articoll is called time ticking bomb i'm so so so scared and considering if i should remove this as soon as possible. what if i get some terrible side effects in several years, would then be too late? though for now it's doing well but... what should i do? is the removal safe? can i inject hyaluronic acid after removal? thx a lot. plz help.
15 years after injection of Artecol in my lips I developed huge granulomas. Surgery was the only option and my lips are now horrible. Last week I had temp filler to lift the corners and give the top lip more projection. The injector struggled due to the scar tissue and it was v.painful so dont think temp fillers are the answer. Is there a surgical option to repair my lips - to pull up the corners, correct the space between nose and lip and restore fullness? I could have work done in UK or US.
Hello, I had artefill injected into my cheeks (fat pad area) 3 years ago and I feel it is overeilled and ages me. Could anyone recommend a surgeon who specializes in removing permanent filler from the face? PS Please do not reply with warnings against permanent fillers unless there is also a recommendation to go with it, there is a lot of that on the site. I am looking for a solution for something that is already in my face. Thank you!
I've been looking up doctors that specialize, I absolutely want to do this, but I'm so scared of getting botched and looking worse than I do now. Is this an easy procedure.Should I be looking for a specialist in artecoll removal or lip reduction, or other? I'm a model, so my face is my business. Any thoughts, pls help. I'm willing to travel to see the best. I've looked up some doctors on this site, but I get scared by some of the negative reviews. Help pls.
Hello, I have had Artecoll injected twice to my lips. Once was with Artecoll in Toronto, second time was from Artecoll from Columbia which actually helped take away the bubble like balls. I find my lips too big, and I think it was a phase I was going through. How can I remove this product? I hate my lips.
I was told Kenalog injections may help reduce slight over-filling ArteFill. From the front view of my face I look symmetrical, but this overfilling has caused my already round face, which had a natural beauty of its own, to become overly rounded-looking. I am so sorry I ever did this! I had the filler injected into a traumatic scar around my mouth. It has been nearly a month since I had ArteFill; when should I try to have the injections done? Will it help dissolve the filler?
