sculptra implant biofilm diognosis

Today I went to the opthalmic plastic surgeon. I had two exploding face infections since the surgery to debulk in April. I have been told, all we can do is try to keep on top of infections and wait for the sculptra to fully metabolize. For those who dont know, Sculptra microspheres do not metabolize and go away for a full 3 years, minimally. Most plastic surgeons say that the cosmetic result lasts for about 2 years, but they dont tell you - that for those of us whose bodies have decided the microspheres are our enemy, and continue to form granulomatous inflammatory tissue in response to it, we unlucky few, will continue to have reactions until it is gone. So I had a horrible infection that actually exploded through the skin in 4 locations (it is being cultured. I write this a week later and i still have an open wound that has not closed. A biofilm is an A typical bacterial (or other type) of infection that has attached itself to the implant. Remember sculptra is considered an implant. I gave up and am out on disability at half pay. A 23 year career is ruined. My pension will be almost cut in half if I can get disability retirement. Sculptra Sucks Ass.
