Granuloma from extensive PMMA. Unevenness from steroid injections. (Photos)

barbara7280
Ten years ago I foolishly had a PMMA-based injectible. placed on my face... I had no idea how much they doctors were injecting. My skin is thin and the outcome is disfiguring. My immune system's rejection results in numerous large, hard lumps. The kenalog that was injected exacerbates my issues. Indentations create additional lumps I have been extremely depressed, embarrassed and suicidal...Is there any hope?
