I had 9 ml dermal fillers 3 months ago and feeling really unwell ever since

Question

I had a total of 9m dermal filler in my face over 3 months inc nasolabial folds twice. I'm a 30 year old female. Injections were done by a doctor. Ever since I had the second round of injections I've been really unwell. I've had sinus pain/infection that didn't go with 2 rounds of antibiotics. I've been having eye floaters and blurry vision intermittently. I went to eye specialist and tests came back normal. I'm wondering if I'm experiencing an immune response from so many mls? I'm scared.

Thank you for
your question Ella92. I understand your concern. Fillers are used to
restore lost volume in and enhance the appearance of the face. The symptoms you describe are not normally related to fillers. However hyaluronic acid fillers can always be dissolved if they are suspected to be the cause of unwanted symptoms. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!

Sorry to hear about your feeling unwell. It appears based on your description that you must have had PLLA filler (Sculptra) that was injected to address your deep nasolabial folds. It also looks like what you feel is most likely coincidental rather than caused by the filler injection especially your described sinus infection. Please continue seeing your doctor(s) (ENT) for there is something else taking place  that is not necessarily related to the filler placement / injection
