Warning - a year of constant infections and trips to the doctor

I feel morally obligated to write this review, so this does not HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.
My nightmare began after I had fillers in June of last year, it's been a year of constant infections and trips to the doctor. My most recent facial infection was a month ago. I found a new doctor that is taking care of the problem now and who has been seeing a lot of these cases. I wish somebody would have told me about this before I got the fillers.
My new doctor told me, and you can Google it yourself as I have since done: that if you are getting fillers and are vaccinated for covid and boosted you should wait at least two weeks before getting fillers, (I was there four months after), and also explains that complications can happen anytime thereafter (as in my case).
This is what happens to you and your body when you have an infection: insomnia, bad headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, I have not been to the dentist for a year because the pressure of opening my mouth is unbearable, wearing masks make my face feel like it's boiling, I have not been able to have a social life at all, and working is really impossible. I have no appetite what so ever. And I'm in constant fear that this infections may spread to my brain or eyes, if it goes into my eyes could go blind. The burning feeling is like you are burning from the inside out. My face feels hot all the time. I feel horrible because my face now has a dent in it (I told him about my concern and he told me that after 50 we all get dents, please review the picture) after I heal I'm going to need reconstructing plastic surgery to correct what this man has done to me. If anyone out there is going through this please message me, I would love to hear from you.
So please do your research before getting fillers, ask them these questions before any procedure or this nightmare might very well happen to you. Or better yet ask a physician because no one at this office gave me any warning, so I have no reason to believe they are even aware of the possible ramifications. Review the pictures and judge for yourself. Please be CAREFUL!!!!

I’m so sorry that you had to go thru all of this. I had sculptra done in January and received the 1st COVID shot 3 months later. A day after the shot I obtained a large hard lump under my left eye in the corner by my nose. The emergency room told me to make an appt with the ophthalmologist who then performed several tests for my eye and he then referred me to a dermatologist, I informed them that it was because of the sculptra and the shot but they didn’t know what I was talking about. I even asked the er doctor for a shot of steroids which he politely declined. 3 months later another hard lump popped up on the corner of my right eye. I finally found treatment with steroids and shots. I will not be getting the booster. I can completely understand your nightmare. The lumps have finally gone away. I wanted to get filler but now I am so scared. I’m so glad you put his name out there. How heartless not to even care or show remorse.

Dear Barramquilla,
I am experiencing something similar after filler treatments, especially in the lips & mouth area.
Here in Italy md are not so aware of these risks and how to treat these kind of damages.
Finally have you solve this horrible complication?
I am terribly suffering too...
