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.

e-mail from the UK on Sculptra granulomas

This is an email sent to me from a woman in the U.K. in May 2009
I am posting it here to share with you just how widely spread the harm from Sculptra is. It is anyplace the product is sold to people foolishly trusting a multi national drug company.


Getting Sculptra was the biggest mistake of my life. I want to caution everyone thinking of having this stuff injected to do your research before. Most ethical doctors don't use this product anymore. Very risky and it doesn't help to have a master injector, even he or she can't control who gets granulomas and who doesn't. Its been a major problem here in the UK too.
