It has been over a year and a half (August 2004), but I am still suffering from side effects. The nose area develops inflammation, and something near the eye bone has hardened firmly, almost like bone (calcification phenomenon). It is also stressful when people around me ask why my nose and eye area look like that. I have had antibiotic IV drips several times... pus was squeezed out with a syringe, cut open with a scalpel and squeezed out, then stitched up. After going in and out of hospitals dozens of times, the emotional suffering has really been huge. The doctor (Apgujeong) was also unkind, so we fought a lot. They said things like there was a problem with my constitution... and told me they would give me 100,000 won if I stamped a document and stopped coming, so I even brought my boyfriend and fought with them. In the end, I did get a refund, but since it was not covered by medical insurance, I spent it all on treatment costs... Now I am receiving treatment at a general hospital and have also had a tissue biopsy. Please look into things carefully and be cautious when having surgery. Even if a substance is safe, once side effects occur, there is no treatment method (because it is injected into the skin, so removal is difficult). I do not know how long I will keep swelling like this... since it was a semi-permanent filler (over 5 years), it may even last my whole life. I never thought one injection could lead to this... Even just going somewhere hot makes it turn red ㅠㅠ Because side effects keep occurring even though no foreign material remains in my nose. I cannot have nose surgery either. When I see photos here of people whose nose surgery went well, my heart hurts.
