Hifu Destroyed my Face

I had a HiFu treatment done at a dermatologist in Freiburg in March 2018.From the very day on I had severe nerve pain.At first,my face was complrtely swollen and I saw double pictures the following days after procudure.
After a month my face started melting and it does until today,15 months later.All the fat and connective tissue has disolved.My face lost its unique architecture and beauty and turned into a sagging pancake with no shape.Because of orbital fat loss and skin shrinkage my eyes sank and are not even half the size.Over months now I have a constant pulling and cracking in my skin.Although not being treated there,it affected my scalp and my neck.My nose and ears came down.I do not look like myself at all.I was panicking most of the time being afraid it would get worse and it did ..day by day,week by week.There seems to be a pac man eating up your whole face.I am left with rubbery skin glued to the bone inside,sagging outside.I am deeply depressed not able to work and isolated.All of this had a horrible effect on my family - it basically ruined my life and my identity.I am in constant pain physically and emotionally.By the doctor I was told it was a mild lunchtime treatment triggering collagen production,totally safe.I googled and the only thing I found was people complaining it had no effect.I pray that would have been the case.The truth is,that high energy is exposed to your skin which is not caculable.Instead for normal tissue it produces scar tissue,which is basically dead.No sweat glands,no healthy tissue.
The worst thing is,that there is no way to fix that severe damage.I can only warn never ever to take the risk of exposing a beatiful face with delicate skin to that device.I would give everything I have if I could turn back time.

Hi, if you need a filler to rebuild the face, you may consider Dr. David Mabrie in SF. He can layer a "full face foundation" for about $6400 according to his site and $700 per injection after that.

esk, do you know what he uses? Is it a type of filler?
June 27, 2019
I haven't gone to him. I think he uses standard Hyaluronic acid fillers. The best about those is that they can be dissolved if you do not like the result. Don't do permanent fillers like fat grafting - can't be removed if you don't like it.

I don't know how much spare cash you have to spend, but a lady whose case I followed on here some years ago, in the end resorted to stem cells. She's totally better now, and her damage was life-changing/life-threatening.
I recall her using Voltarol gel for her symptoms, and wishing she'd found it sooner, as it really helped.
It appears that these reckless clinics are all over you until something goes wrong. Then they wash their hands and blame the patient, who then has to solve the puzzle - alone.
I would litigate, personally, but realise you're probably too exhausted to fight them in court at this point.
I wish you the very best of luck.

What is voltarol gel?
June 24, 2019
Standard pain relief product. Don't know what the active ingredient is, but it should be a generic formula. I'm in UK, so USA name ma be different. Best to Google it!

Hi! May I ask which stem cell treatment this lady got? Injections, prp, prf etc. there are so many different kind of treatments. I want to make sure I got the right one

Which stem cell treatment?
June 24, 2019
Thank you so much I am in touch with all of these ladies I know who you mean..but I did the mistake and did exosomes instead of stem cells...because they said they would work better.I flew around the world.What happened is that everything bow is even much more messed up bcs obviously I still have a reaction from the burns and it was too early..I cannot even say how bad I am right now I went to a neurologist in LA bcs he said it was all nerves...it was the wirst mistake ever though..stems would have been better to start with

Hallo! Welche Stammzellenbehandlung hast du bekommen, die geholfen hat? Kann man die irgendwo in Europa bekommen? Bei uns in Deutschland ist das ja nicht erlaubt.. Ich habe dasselbe Problem nach Hylase....
