Shady Past of Kanye West’s Mother’s Surgeon
Higher risk of death from liposuction than car crashes
Fillers are one of the most popular forms of non-invasive cosmetic surgery however new research shows that these anti-aging and anti-wrinkle solutions may be very damaging.
Researchers found that injecting fillers into the skin may damage underlying facial tissue. Researchers asked 900 surgeons to collect evidence to support the study. The research highlighted that some practitioners inject too much filler into the face and this can cause permanent damage to the facial tissues. It is thought that as many as 5% of patients may be suffering from irreversible damage to both facial tissue and the fibrous connective tissues.
The research also showed that many permanent fillers produced uneven results with bumps and deformities a common side effect. Some filler damage was so severe that it required further surgery to correct the problem.

I agree facial filler cause damage to the facial skin and undelying tissue .this happened to me after using Remake which cause reaction leading to redness,swelling,later on pegmintation and loss of volume.7 months past since I had the filler but everyday more disfiguring chandes occurs.I don’t know what to do or how can I get help.I am ready to try anything which can help me ,but the problem that I live in Saudi Arabia and I don’t know any doctor who has good experience in repairing the damage and I don’t wont to put myself in hand of a plastic surgeonwith little experience
Hi Suzan – I came by your post purely by change (was looking for something else). I doubt you will get the answer to your question here. You should address your question directly to a plastic surgeon if you really want to find a solution to your problem and one that is from an informed source. That’s what I would do if I were you. I hope this helps. So sorry to hear of your misadventure. It must be very distressing and I hope you will find someone to direct you as to the best course of action. Best of luck

Dear Suzan
I was very surprised to read your negative experience with the Remake Filler.
I have a strong feeling that the doctor who injected this filler was not experienced and his technique was not good. This kind of problem that you describe may happen with any filler which is injected too shallow.
I have been injecting Remake successfuly for over a year now. At least 100 patients were treated with it and I have absolutely great results, especially in areas like the lips.
Please try to send an email to the company at
[email protected] and I am sure they can reccomend on a doctor in Saudi Arabia.
Dr.Gary Goldman
They say Remake is made by an Italian company, Carmello Protopapa been involved in its publicity at congress around the world, he is a member of the family who owns Polymekon. Polymekon’s only product up until recently was Bio Alcamid. There have been awful problems with Bio Alcamid. People are still trying to deal with the disfiguring effects of migration and attempted removal. The problems described with your Remake injection sound very much like the problems with Bio Alcamid. Bio Alcamid was said to be safe, non migratory and easily removable. This is not true. Polymekon is never mentioned in connection with Remake, but be quite sure, it is their product.
I was very interested to read your comments on Remake. It is my understanding that it is only licensed for use in Saudi and France. So I am surprised to see that Dr Goldman is using it, although I do know of a French doctor who is using it here in the UK. Plus, as another person stated, it is made by the manufacturers of BioAlcamid in Italy. I have had heard concerns from colleagues regarding how it is supposed to break down. Please keep in touch.
It’s a while since I checked this site. More problems are emerging with Bio Alcamid. Polymekon state ‘injector error’ as the cause of migration, lumps and infections. But..as time goes on that defense is proving unlikely, the doctors who injected it are receiving more and more complaints. Those doctors are not the same few every time, more and more of them are quoting complications, sometimes years after injection.
Many reports and papers are including stories of adverse reactions, lumps, migration and severe infections. The reason for a lack of reporting of complications with this product in the past seems to be the fact that if a patient complained to the UK distributor of BioAlcamid, Cloverleaf, and Cloverleaf then send out an Adverse Reaction Reporting form, the doctor or clinic is not obliged to fill in and return the form.
Also, if the patient just complains directly to the injector or clinic, it is up to that clinic again if they chose to report to the manufacturers or distributor.
A few determined victims have pushed both the distributor and the manufacturer into responding, with some appearing in the press. Since then, more doctors are coming forward, as I said above.
EVERY person with a complication with Remake should make sure that the injector reports to the manufacturer, and they should contact the manufacturer themselves also, and the distributor, as soon as possible, and make as much noise as possible about it.
Bio Alcamid complications are happening all over the world, and still it is being denied by the company as having anything to do with the product itself. Briagio and Carmello Protopapa are fending off a lot of victims, maybe they fear they will go under regarding Bio Alcamid so are putting all the effort into marketing Remake.
Yes, I’m angry, at the injector for not doing his homework properly (there were reported problems before I had my injections of Bio Alcamid), and with the manufacturer for continuing to distribute the product for cosmetic use knowing those problems existed (despite the fact that not all reports got to them, there were enough of them). They continued to make money knowing misery and life-long problems were going to be suffered by many.
Hola a todos, ustedes que han tenido experiencia y conocen de remake que me aconsejan, porque algun medico me comento de lo seguro que es, pero me preocupa los efectos secundarios que pueda tener porque no es acido hialuronico, tampoco es conocido en mi pais, creo que lo van a vender, por favor necesito mas informacion de lo malo que puede ser.
gracias.
Last month we operated a women with huge granulomatous nodules on the both cheeks. She was injected Remake 2 years ago. She stated that skin reaction had started few months after injection and similar to susan it had became cadastrophic apperance day by day. We elevated the skin with classical facelift incision, removed the granulomatous tissue. Now, patient was pleased with her appearance. Susan if you still have problem, please mail us for information.lots of patient visit our hospital in turkey, Istanbul from Saudi Arabia.
I would like to comment the posts I have seen on this thread. I am a dermatologist injecting Remake over 3 years now. I inject ~40 Syringes per month, it means that I have used roughly 1500 syringes of Remake in Areas like lips, chin, deep folds and etc… I had not even 1 problem with this product in the whole period, the ammount of experience I have with it now is huge and all of my patients are very pleased with it. Suzan I hope you found a doctor to solve your problem, usually if any side effect would occur with a resorbable filler it can be treated with steroids and extraction of the material. Anyways Remake is not a permanent filler so no permanent damage.
Hande altintas, Shame on you, you try to publicize yourself as a clinic not to offer any opinion I dont beleive any woman came 2 years with granulomatous tissue after injection, Remake is totally broken down in after such a period. The problem with forums is always people/companies with interests writing in them, so inoscent people do not receive the right answers to their problems.
I have to emphasize that no of my coleagues in my country have experienced any problem with this product.
but I heard there are already biodegradable dermal fillers out in the market today. I bet its is not as harmful as the permanent ones.
Remake is very safe actually, and its not permanent. Its biggest advantage is that it stays in the lips for over a year. No Hyaluronic acid filler or any other temporary filler can prmise that. Other than that there are people who break down Hyaluronic acid faster than others (because the Hyaluronic acid “breaking” enzyme – Hyaluronidase is highly active in their bodies). Remake helps this people save money and they dont have to go to the doctors office every 2 months.
I get upset for the people that are suffering from these situations or any infection. All infections and diseases are a fungus. Cancer is a fungus. It is curable. Whilst the lumps and bumps are a separate issue and real doctors trying to help people would help people for free, but in the meantime cancer IS a fungus. Alzheimers, hair loss, pneumonia, aid, hiv, meningitis, even bad root canals (that should not be being performed in the first place) are a FUNUGS. its proven and its curable almost immediately. The thing that is killing people when their immune system is down is the PHARMA meds filled not only with synthetic poisons but more FUNGUS. Google it. All curable.
The medici aka Media and Medicinal scam is coming to an end. People know. Bicarbonate of soda and High dose Garlic will take down the infection and help your immune system fight the fungus in these injectsion. Ammoniation of Aflatoxin, mycotoxin and aspergillus. Please find out and pass it on.
hyaluronic acid should be the only way to go. You do not want anything synthetic. Infact the best and only route would be the vampire facelift with your OWN healthy blood.
Soon these fillers will be obsolete. The medical field does NOT need to behave in this way, making billions from poor innocent people just trying to feel better about their looks or gain confidence and it needs to be shut down and destroyed.
