4 year update

I am now at 4 years post damage. I wish I could say I have had improvements but I have not. The damage became systematic and my whole body has melted, I assume due to inflammation.. My nervous system also went out of control,. muscles atrophied all over and my hair became extremely thin, dry and brittle. I am fighting for my life at this point, trying to heal my body, reset my nervous system and rebuild the muscle that I lost. I don’t know how I can ever get the fat layer back on my body. I am looking for a plastic surgeon that can fix my face. Again, I need fat on my face and without fat on my body it will be difficult to get a fat transfer.

The sad part is that doctors are still doing these treatments although many others have come forward with damage similar to mine.

MORE PHOTOS PRIOR TO NOVEMBER OPUS THAT MELTED MY FACE

I just wanted to add more of my photos prior to the Opus that melted my face and neck and destroyed me. There was a comment stating that my prior photos looked like they were taken 10 years ago - well there you have it, that's how much damage was done to my face. I look at least 20 years older now thanks to the damage that was done from this machine - the fat on my face and neck continued to melt for over a year - daily burning and swelling sensations I though well maybe that's collagen forming - NO, it was NOT, it was my face and neck falling apart more and more every day. My skin is now is paper thin and very fragile. My forhead and eyelids drooped - most likely nerve and muscle damage. I anyone would like more photos, I have tons and tons of photos - always trying to perfect myself and here you go - I was worried about a few imperfections that no longer matter because rather than fix those, everything was destroyed. I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror anymore. Lasers can cause this damage - and did.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE REP FROM ALMA LASERS

I just wanted to add another update - I have been corresponding with the rep from Alma lasers now who is asking for specific photos to reconsider their position - however when I requested an in person evaluation I was denied it - there is no way to understand the extent of my damage without an in person evaluation to actuall feel how the skin is loose and stretchy and so fragile with absolutely no structure at all. I will send the photos he is askinf for and I am sure he will dismiss me so my next step will be an expert in this sort of damage to prepare for legal remedy.

After care follow-up

As you can see, my face was extremely damaged and nobody really cares. I have PTSD and it has affected my well being. She didn't even offer a refund, not that it would have reveresed the damage but at least it would have shown she cared.
