Bellafill is Not SAFE

After 6 trips to Italy, I had medical excision with Dr. Harrison Lee using the deep plane facelift incision. He was the only Doctor that I consulted with that could do medical excision this way. I was told by everyone else they would need to do a direct incision, which would leave my face even more damaged. My infection never fully went away, so it was my only hope. I’m now 6 weeks post op and will need fat transfer to the area after 3 months. Please note and remember the area was already indented prior to any treatment in Italy or before surgery with Dr. Lee. The Bellafill/infection needed to be removed prior to adding anything back to the area. Bellafill was removed and so far I am healing well.

Clarification... there have been multiple people contacting me asking me if the hole is from the laser. ABSOLUTELY NOT! The hole is where the incision and drainage was performed. All of the photos except the melting of the product are pre-laser treatment.

So, you can see the plastic that is being melted out of the face. Some of it is mixed with a little blood, but there is a good picture of the plastic without the blood in one of the photos. The first time I went had treatment I wanted to vomit in between crying. The entire room spelled like burnt plastic. For days following the treatment you have to continue squeezing the plastic out. You can continue to smell the plastic for 1-2 days after the procedure. I've never been more angry or felt so mislead in my life. I was never informed that this product was permeant by my doctor or the pharmaceutical company. They advertise it as lasts up to five years.
Five treatments done and for the first time since May of 2016 I'm off of antibiotics. Fingers crossed! I don't think that I have ever had anything challenge me as much as this has. The amount of depression and hopelessness was overwhelming at times. There is hope for those of you out there struggling. Don't give up!
