Dr Eccleston injected 500 units of Hyaluronidase into my lips to correct filler which had gone wrong. Since having the Hyaluronidase I have lost volume in my face and a lot of tissue around my eyes and my mouth. I never had hollows under my eyes, now I have very noticeable hollows and dark circles, and can now no longer where eyeliner due to my eyelids drooping. I look like I have aged years in a matter of weeks. My pores are now more pronounced, a little scar I had on my cheek is more noticeable, and my face is starting to droop. I am mortified! My family, friends and colleagues have also commented on the difference in my face, it is very noticeable.
After doing some research I now know too much Hyaluronidase was used. He should of started off with a small amount, not injected 500 units. The recommended dose is 3-75 units. He told me after in my review, which I had to request, that the reason he used 100s of units over was so he didn't have to give me another appointment (this would of been at his expense), proof that he's in it solely for the money not the satisfaction of his customers. He didn't even consult with me before he decided to inject higher than the recommended dose.
When I spoke to him about this he wasn't helpful at all. We both looked at the pictures from before and after and the difference was evident, I looked like I'd aged years in a matter weeks. He may as well of stood there telling me black was white. He will not except responsibility for what he has done to my face. He instead asked for me to do research and show him evidence that this could happen (when the evidence was there in front of him) and then send him the links.
I have since done so, which was when he admitted to injecting 100s of units over the recommended dose.
At my initial appointment he informed me that he was one of the leading specialists in correcting filler which had gone wrong, then afterwards at my review he told me that he wasn't an encyclopaedia on Hyaluronidase and for me to do my own research and forward him the links. He hadn't prepared for the review even though prior to my appointment I'd sent him before after photos of the damage caused.
I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse. I cry almost every morning when I have to look in the mirror, I've lost all my confidence and now feel high anxiety at work. I can feel myself slipping into depression.
I just want to add; I only had the 1ml of filler in my lips, I hadn't had anything else done on my face, therefore Hyaluronidase does dissolve natural hyaluronic acid and cause permanent damage.
I wanted to give a zero star rating, even a minius. Certainly not 1 star. read more
