Now Twenty Years of Aquamid - DON'T DO IT! Injected in 2004 - Lips -Brisbane, AU

UPDATED FROM believer2

Twenty years on, I'm serious don't do it! I regret getting aquamid

$300
Still disappointed I was stupid enough to have aquamid injected into my lips twenty years ago. So wish I hadn't! I have a weird uneven smile now. The aquamid makes scar tissue and my mouth is slightly uneven.

Have constantly over the years regretted this decision. If anyone is considering getting it, see my earlier posts below!

Don't do it

I mean it. I'm really unhappy with my lumpy lips. This filler cannot be removed. There are plenty of safer less permanent fillers

Hi there,
Did you try to get it removed?
I am having the same issues after 12 years and have had no luck with any Dr in Sydney willing to remove it.

No i didnt try to remove it. Luckily i have only had one infection about 10 years ago. But i was just reading on this site that there is a clinic in Rome, Italy that use laser to heat up and squeeze out the Aquamid through tiny pinpricks on the skin.

I AM NOW GETTING MAJOR COMPLICATIONS ON ACQUAMID - DON'T USE IT!

I have started getting infections in my lips from the Aquamid!! The lower left side of my lip is a hard, red, hot, infected mass. I am told that I will have to have surgery to remove the aquamid. All in all, I am pretty sorry I have had it. I was very sorry to lose the ability to play the flute and whistle. But now, this infection is so painful, the surgery will improve it but leave scars. All in… SHOW MORE all, don't use it! Pretty terrible side effects down the track. It seems there are many cases like mine where some sort od deterioration in the product years down the track causes infections (and in some cases I've read on the internet, tumors).

Further, I am a lot more upset about not being able to play the flute than appears from my review. I wrote the review as I was upset about it so people would know about it, but I probably was too moderate in my comments, judging from the responses. In hindsight, I deeply regret having the injections.

Hi there, I also had aquamid injected into my lips in Brisbane and I am suffering with problems, had some surgically removed but wasn't happy with the outcome. I am looking into laser treatments now, after coming across the eufoton laser in Italy. I understand there is a centre in Melbourne that use this laser. I am yet to make the journey, but I am hopeful.

Hi Ellie,
I’m also having the same issues with this Aquamid poison.
Did you ever try the laser at all?
Or have you had any success with any removal attempts?
Thanks for your advice
