I feel it is hightime someone highlighted this man's negligence. I had uma jeunesse put in my nasal labial lines in feb 2013, two yrs ago, for some reason he put the right up next to my nose too, making me look like im sneering. My face blew up for one mth, and when I went back, he said he couldnt do anything to fix it, two yrs on, after 18 injections of hyalurodinase with dr basim matti who was the only dr that didnt refuse to put more than one injection of the enzyme in my face at a high concentration, to dissolve it, i am finally getting my old face back, but I have been left with internal scarring as a result of uma jeunesse and granulomas, the company, cambridge aesthetics hung up on me when I explained what had happened with their product and then argued whem I called back for advice! Despite intense massage and hyalurodinase, so dr andrew carr, reuined my face, he needs to be sued. Stay away from him!
In total, I have had to invest in four thousand pounds (about $6000), of dissolving hyalurodinase enzyme to get my face back to 80% of what it is and my confidence back, my face now looks ten yrs older thanks to him, with the bumps still prominant looking like jowls, two yrs on, i can still feel them.

This product is not available in the United States, but it is a hyaluronic acid product, which competes with Juvederm and Restylane. It is quite surprising that the product has lasted so long. Are you sure that it was Uma Jeunesse that was used? ALL implants can be felt to some degree under the skin and, when the skin is stretched (as is being done in the photos), the implants can become more visible. Thankfully, most do not make funny faces to accentuate the implants during normal speech and facial expression. With other hyaluronic acid fillers, dissolving the implant is easily performed and not terribly costly (no where near the $6,000 US that you have paid). Scarring is most unusual for ANY dermal filler. Granuloma formation is exceptionally uncommon and is more common with Radiesse or Sculptra.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Please update your post and photos.

3 years on, the filler is slowly dissolving after having monthly injections of 1500 units of hyalase, it was definately uma jeunesse which is cross linked. I have 7 granulomas, and the remaining large puddles are slowly shrinking after each hyalase injection. In total I have had over 50 injections to dissolve the product, which is shocking, but it is responding. I had to pull the face to highlight the volume of the filler and the misplacement of the product.

Hi I want to highlight when something has gone lumpy etc I tried acupuncture. You have to make sure on the right acupuncturist. My lips were fixed within weeks.

Hope it gets better. Didn't you experience tissue loss because of the hylenex? You really had a huuuuge amount injected.. i have read a lot of posts of patients who tried less hyalase and that posts are mostly bad.
