Bio- Alcamid Ruined my Youth

Bio Alcamid
I am also another victim of Bio alcamid,I had it administered to increase volume in cheek area in 2005. since it has migrated around the face and lumps under and around eyes appeared. I have had to undergo 2 major ops to remove product which is the only way to remove the product even tho the manufacturer states it can be easily removed. IT CANNOT!!!, Even after these ops there is still product there!! I am not alone with this misery,I have met 6 others to date and more and more people are getting together to tell their stories, All people that have suffered at the hand of this product should let everyone know by responding to these blogs. It would be good to know how many of us are out there.
In the meantime DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!

I was injected with Bio alcamid as a model for a training session for Doctors, 5 years ago. Now I have a hard lump under my eye and one in my cheek. The Doctor who carried out the training denies having any notes about me. I have been offered removal by the Clinic but I have been frightened by the number of people reporting that attempting to removal Bioalcamid can actually cause infection and make matters worse. Nobody is accepting responsibility for the adversse reaction to Bio alcamid. Surely it must be the manufacturers who should be made liable for our life sentence with this horrible stuff in our faces.

I agree, I've been left thousands of pounds out of pocket because of this product. My doctor also denied putting it in my lips and actually said his only injected the outside and it migrated with I could not believe! I don't know what other people think but maybe we should approach the manufactures for an answer?

The manufacturers, Polymekon and the UK distributors, Cloverleaf, are blaming the adverse reactions on the injectors, not administering the product properly. Read the following article, it shows that people all over the world are having problems. Until recently, I thought I was the only one.

This stuff is nightmare and nasty. I had my lips Injected with bioalcamid 8 years ago in Czech republic. I have been told, that there is no reported allergy and if not liking the result, can be removed with easy surgery. Immediately after treatment, doctor hit some blood vessel and despite the massive pain and fast swelling bruise formed on one side. Other side went relatively ok. Next 24hours was extremely painful and felt like my lips will explode any moment. After 24h it started go away thankfully. For few years I was relatively happy with result, except a little lumps and bumps. The whole time while kissing and when accidentally bumping my lip strange pain occurred. As the time went on, material started migrating and created ugly lump "hanging" from my upper lip. It was becoming more and more visible over next two years and I was slowly starting to look for a doctor willing to remove it. I went for several consultations in London, Dubai and Prague and heard many different opinion. One doctor wanted to cut my lip underneath in it's whole length and remove it. That sounded just way too scary. Another wanted to suck it out with syringe and then finally two or more surgeons agreed on cutting little incision and removing only whats excessive and necessary so went with that option.
As soon as doctor cut the edge of my lip in that problematic area, White cloudy stuff water/gel like rubbish came out and he needed to dig a bit more to remove the "ball" of bio alcamid. Then they sew one stitch inside and two more on outside. Done in 15 min, not painful, no complications or swelling. 7days later on Thursday stitches were removed and next 48h went absolutely fine. Scar was barely visible and healed. Now here is where my nightmare starts..... on Sunday afternoon I started to feel little discomfort and fast growing swelling on the opposite side of my upper lip. I took paracetamol and later ibuprofen and put ice on it over night. What a surprise when I woke up with even worse swelling and pain shooting all the way to my cheekbone, ear and eye.
I called my surgeon immediately and went to his office on afternoon that day. He never saw anything like that before and mainly doesn't make sense why infection developed on the opposite side.
My opinion after searching online, is that the side where bio alcamid was removed is not getting infected because there is no material left, although it might have been somehow connected ( via little tunnel which they create when injecting this implant) and possibly drop of blood spreader into side, where BA still is.
I'm not a doctor, I'm just guessing as the whole thing is ridiculous and even experienced doctors don't know what to do and what is causing it. I can barely close my mouth and swelling is not going away. :(
I have been given antibiotics, antihistamine plus anti-inflammatory drugs and hope to survive the night without going to ER.
I will post updates how it all went, but for the time being I advice to everyone to stay away from this product or if have it already, have it removed all at once and take antibiotics preventively after the treatment. Forgot to mention that I'm absolutely healthy 29 year old woman.
Bio alcamid is evil product and lie in description.
Best luck to everyone having difficulties with BA
