Disfigured Me

I still remember this doctors exact words when I asked about any risks of the enzyme. She told me “the worst that could happen is nothing would change” and proceeded to inject large doses into a single area. When I got home I was in utter shock as it looked like I had a stroke on one side. Within days my face slowly started to melt and become very thin. My skin became discolored and felt gummy. I felt extremely fatigued and had burning sensations especially to the left side of my face. When I contacted her she said oh it will all resolve in a few months. She would continue to defend herself and say don’t listen to any of the reviews. Since seeing her I’ve been diagnosed with neuralgia and take nerve pain medication and my face looks like it has aged 20 years. I went from modeling, finishing a third degree, and extremely healthy to suicidal fatigued and in pain daily. It did not improve and I am now 8 months after this enzyme. This doctor tells
me oh well I inject that much for my eye surgeries all the time. Perhaps she does not understand hyaluronidase application for fillers which need to be used in very small doses. She used at least 30 times the normal amount and refuses any responsibility despite seeing the damage she has done. I’ve attached pictures. Real doctors do not use off label medications without thoroughly explaining the risks beforehand. I repeat. This doctor explained ZERO risks and now I must suffer the consequences with my health. I am only in my 20s. I was afraid to post pictures but now that my life has completely gone downhill bc of her, I want to spread awareness. To all her future patients, she uses this enzyme in eye surgeries too. I’ve spoken to other oculoplastic surgeons who do not use this enzyme for surgeries for the very reason that it has so many risks. I’m not sure if her patients understand that she uses this enzyme for eye surgeries too.

I'm wondering when cosmetic surgeons and injectors will finally advocate for their patients. Hundreds of women on this site, Facebook, YouTube, and online forums are sharing experiences of extreme volume loss, nerve pain and skin issues- many women are now experiencing systemic issues with from this enzyme yet doctors wont acknowledge it, refuse to report it to drug companies, and continue to ruin lives. I'm realizing very doctors that say "I've never had problems with this enzyme" are lying including the one who ruined my life. I'm only in my 20s. Please push doctors to advocate. More research needs to be done. So many Women are suffering for months to years with no answers.

This doctor destroyed my health and my life. She used extremely high doses of hyaluronidase and told me there would be absolutely no negative side effects or harm me. I ended up in the ER and now see a neurologist because have been suffering from nerve damage from her. It's been four months and I still have extreme pain. My face and eyes now looks lopsided and disfigured, as the enzyme completely dissolved half of my face. She is rushed and does not know cosmetic products. She truly harmed me and there are no consequences.
