Did you have the filler injected in SK? I have the same problem as you. I have permanent filler injected in my face and have been looking into drs to remove this.

 

Unfortunately, I have not found another surgeon that feels confident enough to remove the filler. I am still looking for a dr to remove the filler from my undereyes, and cheek area. Permanent filler is no joke!

 

Thank you for your honest review. I hope you find a good doctor to fix your concerns. Did you do the revision surgery with Doctor Kim? which Clnic is Doctor Kim from?

 

Hi, Im sorry to hear about your experience with IOU. Will you consider Dr Kang for revision? I have consulted with JJ, (Dr. Hong Jin Joo) JW and IOU. I will pm you, since I'm not really on PF too much.

 

Cindy, which clinic did you go to for your revision in sk in nov 2018? I will pm you too

 

Hi thank you for your detailed review. Can I ask you some more questions? I have very bad scars and this would be my 2nd revision. Can you pm me? thank you

Did Dream give you GA for your surgery? Have you fixed your nose and fat grafting?

 

HI did you do your facelift? May I ask which dr/clinic you went to and your results? Hope everything came out well.

 

Hi MadameButterfly,
I feel for you and hope you can find a solution to your sagging issues now.
Have you found other drs/ clinics to do liiting and fat grafting? I will also consult with Area 88 dr. Lee

 

Thank you! This research is indeed on my to do list!

I don't want to name the "dr" or the clinic here, because I am still trying to contact them to get information from them. You can PM me. Im very stressed by all this.

 

I actually paid 100,000 extra to have the eye clinic send the excised tissues sent to a lab, I don't know what happened but the only thing that the lab report indicated was that it was not malignant and that the foreign body was embedded in the tissue (pretty much the obvious)
I was really upset at the eye clinic because they knew what kind of report I was looking for and the report basically came back with the obvious.
I received the report When I got back to the US, and by that time is was too late to try to make any changes.

What do I do from here? Are there any other options?
I think I really need to find out what kind of filler it is first.
I have an appointment with a doctor here in the US who says he can remove permanent fillers.
I'm going to take my time in addressing this and would like to look at different options.

 

Thanks for your replies.,, do you know how this filler can be tested and most importantly removed? Are SK clinics still using it? Does ultherapy melt or make this filler migrate in the face? I am very concerned bc it is very noticeable, even more so now after surgery to remove some of it. thanks so much for any information. I see I have a lot of research to do...

Hi maybebaby1980, what is arecoli? I can't seem to find anything on this. The permanent fillers that I have heard about through my googling is Silcon, PMMA crystal, Artefill, Bio Alcamid, Aquamid, Artecol, Polyacylamide and polymethylmethacrylate fillers.

Also, Do you know if korean clinics used this specific filler a lot in 2013? whatever it is, it was probably on the cheaper end, since the "dr" injected it without charging me extra. My issue is that since I don't know what kind of filler this is, it's hard to know how to remove it.. My undereye bag surgery was not successful in removing it, as it just "grew" back a short time later.

 

The clinics I visited this year said there wasn't a point in using hydrallainise to dissolve it, since I was already planning on doing undereye surgery to remove the assyemtrical eyebags.

When I spoke with the consultant at the original aesthetic center , she told me they used several different fillers back in 2013. She Said they also had "acuamine", however she couldn't confirm anything. The filler was originally placed by my temples. I think it migrated to my undereye when I did ultherapy. But it's possible the "dr" also injected some into my r/s undereye, since there is a fair amount there. I just don't understand why the dr is telling me he injected restyllane, if it was a permanent type filler that was actually used. I highly doubt the "dr" used restyllane since, it is embedded in my skin and I have had this reaction and I heard restyallane (USD) is quite pricey. I don't know the cost of permanent fillers. in SK.

 

Hi Gats, thanks for your reply . Can granulomas be caused by hydrolauronic temporary type fillers also !
I assume it would have gone away by now if it was that type of temporary filler. If it was a temporary filler, How long would the granuloma last? The dr told me he injected restyllane, but I highly doubt it was.
Please see my response below to Kcouture and the new thread I created ,I appreciate any information or help you can provide.
Thank you .

 

Hi caliroll

It was initially injected into my temples, but later moved. Please read my detailed response below. I also created a new thread in case anyone has had a similar experience with this type of filler or clinic in sk. I hope you can share any information if you have it. Thank you .

 

Hi did you use this filler? If you're still considering it, please don't!! Please see my post regarding my experience with a permanent (name unknown at this time) filler.

 

Hi, Can anyone help me or had a similar experience?
I went to an Aesthetic Center in Gangnam, SK in 2013 to have an Ultra V lift (thread lift) done. The "dr" offered me free fillers for my hollow temples. He said it would last one-two years.

I had ultherapy the following year (2014) and I think that the high heat from the ultherapy may have caused the filler to shift in my face, including to my undereye. The fillers disappeared from my temple area as it returned to its more hollow state.

I read that ultherapy can dissolve temporary fillers or make fillers burst. Has anyone experienced this?

Does anyone know WHAT KIND of permanent fillers were mostly used in SK in 2013?

However, it's now 4 years later. I had under eye surgery this year with a licensed PS to have the asymmetry and undereye bags removed. The doctor performing this surgery said the filler had EMBEDDED into my tissues, making it hard to remove.
I have attached a picture of some of the filler and tissue that was removed from my undereye bags.
Even after the undereye bag removal surgery, the WHITE undereye bag/bump/granuloma came back... Im wondering if this could be a bacterial growth "BIOFILM" from the filler.

Last year, I asked the original doctor what he injected and he told me it was restyllane.
I DON"T think he injected restyllane, since even after undereye bag removal surgery earlier this year, the WHITE undereye bag/bump/granuloma still came back...

The "dr" gave me a copy of my medical records which was mostly in Korean. Among other things, the document notates Filler + "SR"+ "줄기 세포", which google translated means Stem Cells. I am not sure what this really means for my case.

Recently I called the clinic again and after numerous attempts, someone finally picked up the phone. The "Dr" is on personal leave and will be back in a few months. The consultant answering the phone could not help me. I will be following up with the clinic to see if the dr. can answer my questions when he returns.

After reading up on these permanent fillers, including silicon, I am super concerned now. The White bump/granuloma filler seems even more obvious than before, even though I had surgery to remove it. I really want to find out what kind of filler was injected and to remove it safely.

Does anyone know WHAT KIND of PERMANENT FILLERS were mostly used in SK in 2013?

Has anyone gone to a similar clinic or had any experience with permanent fillers in SK? If so, please reply to this thread or PM me. Thank you for any help or information that you can provide.

 

Does Ultherapy make fillers move around? Does anyone know what kind of permanent fillers South Korea was using in 2013? Please follow my thread that I will be posting later today.
