I was injected with this product j drr my eyes give years ago. Dr. Said it was cheaper and good . It right away left two bumps under each eye. Dr tried everything. Finally he said we should do a mini eye lift as that should get rid of the marks. I used to model makeup with my eyes. I didn't want them changed but Unfortunatly it did . On one side the mark appeared less. On the other still there. Fast foward two and a half years from the surgery I tried a reversible filler with another Dr. (As mine was out if town), As too much volume was taken from my eyes. It looked funny and there were lumps under each eye he asked me if I had a filler there before and I said yes Evolence he said he thinks it is just scar tissue and he reversed it and it was back to the way it was before hollow from the surgery. Well I finally agreed to a pinch of skin being taken up and fat filled under my eyes to lesson the hollow look by my Dr. Well this opened a whole can of worms This was a week ago and there are hard rope feeling subtances under each eye that is very noticeable !! I told my Dr. and started crying all he said was I'm deoressed and its still swollen! The fat injections obviously raised the evolence that was still in there!! I've had medical issues that I see now are attributed to this It is do apparent!!! Igo back to him Monday and I pray he sees me through trying to resolve this, he has so far. I just don't want to hear that I'm depressed!! Of course I am because of this. I hope he pays for me to go to an occuloplastic surgeon or researches and talks to other Dr.'s as to how to do this. If anyone has done this can you please give me your Dr.'s name and number so mine can talk to him ?

Oh and he NEVER tried to consult with any other Dr. to see how to fix this. His arrogance got in the way instead of trying to fix a life he really messed up.

Who are the doctors you're referring to? I find your posts alarming considering I saw you on another post about Dr. Martin challenging someone's experience with him. If you want to be helpful to others, please post the names of the doctors.

Hi, his name is Dr. Digeronimo and I did post it in the original post about this, nothing to hide here he really did mess up my face badly. I just had surgery to remove the filler. There was so much filler in muscle and places around the eyes that were not supposed to be injected, not to mention that filler was never supposed to be placed under the eyes as I called Johnson n Johnson about it after he first tried to fix it. It's really been a horrific few years because of this. What is alarming is what a Dr. Who takes an oath to not harm then does beyond belief. The reason I wrote that about the Patient of Dr. Martin is that I asked to see pictures several times and even asked her to send it privately, she refused. As you can see I never hid my pics. Look at my profile and what I looked like a few very short years ago before.

I'm not discounting your experience. I can clearly see that you have been disfigured. It's horrible what these so called doctors are getting away with. I'm just saying be careful not to discredit someone's experience solely because they are unwilling to share pictures. She may be embarrassed by the whole ordeal, thus not wanting to have her image on the Internet. With time she might build up the courage to post pics. Also I'm very sorry about your traumatic ordeal.

were you able to get some assistance from dr. Martin or did you use Dr. Steinsapir?

I sent you a private message I did see steinsapir but he's too far. I sent you a message about everything .;)

I said he is nice because he came across nice but kept telling me not to seek an occuloplastic and that they don't know what they are doing and that he taught eye surgery in Italy. Well I assume this was years and years ago because every occuloplastic that I went to says that I didn't need a bleph to try to remove the filler,( he never tried to remove it while in there!) Had I gone to an occuloplastic they would have just removed this filler surgically, that wasn't supposed to be put in there to begin with. He never had to change my upper lids on top of it! He told me that a heavy lid makes you look older and I needed to fix that, but he said this while I was going under right before surgery to try to remove the filler and of course I said yes, I trusted him!! Btw, those heavy lids are what made my eyes beautiful, my son has this and he is not old! He is very handsome because of his eyes! I just wish I consulted other Dr's before I let him touch me again, but like I said I trusted him. After what he and his office did with withholding my records, ( they tried to also withhold it from another Dr that I went out of town to consult in the summer of 2014). The other Dr. Was floored by them! I had to get a lawyer to send them a letter telling them they were in violation of hippa laws to get my records!
Thanks for sharing your story with us. I hope you keep us posted on what happens at your appointment on Monday. I'm sorry you are having so many negative issues after trying Evolence.
