Would biofilm form around fat?

Asked By:TMO_11 in Atlanta, Georgia

Hi. I've had a confirmed biofilm in my face. My doctor injected it with saline when it appeared to go away. An abscess formed that needed to be cut out. He injected with saline again, when nothing happened, he tried Juvederm again. I now have another biofilm I've tried to dissolve many times with Hylenex. When this appears to go away, or go dormant, would a fat injection be safe or could a biofilm form around that, too? I know they form around foreign objects, but HA is in us as well.
