Medical Negligence That Cost Me Tens of Thousands of Dollars As Well As my Emotional Well-being

I had filler for the first time by dr. Devgan last summer. Everything was fine at first, and it looked great, but about 6 months later, I had a delayed inflammatory reaction that has now lasted over one year. I’ve had maybe 7 appointments with Dr. Devgan since this began, and countless correspondences, and she has dismissed me, refused to treat me, and outright gaslit me every single time.

From the outset, Dr. Devgan repeatedly insisted that filler does not cause these types of complications, that filler cannot migrate, or that there is no filler left in my face, and that my face must be swollen due to an autoimmune disease.

Dr. Devgan has been wrong on every count. I’ve spent the year undergoing ever rheumatological and endocrinological blood panel that exists, CT scans, ultrasounds, etc. Nothing is wrong. Finally last week I got an MRI, and guess what, there’s filler stuck in my face, and it has migrated into my parotid glands and surrounding lymph nodes. I discussed the report with a few more derms, who advised that I send Dr. Devgan the report. She once again insisted that I did not understand the report, and that what I now know is happening, could not possibly be related to her filler.

Dr. Devgan’s gaslighting and dismissal of my concerns led me to spend tens of thousands of dollars on testing, random treatments that made me sicker, and ultimately resulted in so much time passing without adequate care that I may now have permanent damage.

Posting to see if anyone has experience with anything like this, or knows someone who has , because there is strength in numbers
