Hydrelle Reaction personal experience


6 weeks after injecting Hydrelle into my cheeks i developed swelling, redness, and firm bumps. I treated it with local antibiotics, oral and injectible steroids and dissolving enzymes called hyalouronidase. I had to drain the areas several times. I received a memo from Coapt ( the company that markets Hydrelle) about 2 weeks ago and after it started recommending it only be used in the nasolabial folds and the marionette lines. Whoops, too late for me.

I am so glad this happened to me and not to one of my patients. I am having troubles uploading photos to this Blog but they will be here soon.

Photos of My Hydrelle Reaction

Here they are: scary pictures of myself Manuel M. Pena, M.D. approximately 6 weeks after I injected Hydrelle into my malar areas. About a week before these photos I had received a memo from Coapt Corp. (the marketers of Hydrelle) recommending that this material only be used in the Nasolabial folds and Oral commisures. Whoops a bit too late for me!
