If I Can Save One Person from Getting Bellafill I'll Feel Better

If I can save one person from getting Bellafill, I'll feel better. My photos tell a story of a destructive edema that started about 2 weeks after I had 8 vials of Bellafill injected. I have notified both the manufacturer and of course, my injector, who are on the Bellafill website as a contact for my area. My face is pretty much ruined by the edema, as you can see. I no longer even look like myself. I'm now under the care of a dermatologist I also found on the Bellafill website. She tells me that the edema will last as long as the Bellafill does because Bellafill "draws water" to it. I just finished spending another $4,000.00 on other fillers to try to remedy some of the damage that over 5 months of edema under the skin have caused. I had the Bellafill to prevent marionette lines and nasolabial lines from forming and the Bellafill has caused me to develop both of these. I now look at minimum 5 years older at least than prior to the Bellafill injections and suffer from an ongoing medical problem (edema) that I did not have prior to having Bellafill. I will need treatment for 5 years at least for this, and the damage will continue as long as the edema does.
Please, please do yourself a favor and RUN away from anyone who suggests Bellafill to you. It is a nightmare waiting to happen. Use another filler that is reversible, and doesn't have the potential to compromise the lymphatic drainage in your face.

I left some out of sequence images in this "transition" and wanted to ensure that this was corrected. So I'm reposting the timeline of my transition from 1 day preinjection to the present. I am now being treated and so look better than I did, but the treatment will have to continue until the Bellafill goes away (5 years or whenever).

Shown here are 2 pockets of fluid on both sides of my mouth that have now been there for almost 6 months since the Bellafill injections. Again, my dermatologist says there is no way of knowing if and when these will resolve. The supplement that she has me on for the edema has done nothing to make these areas improve yet. Phones don't take great close-ups unfortunately.
