Are you experiencing lingering side effects with the facial filler polyalkylimide?
Facial lipoatrophy is the loss of subcutaneous facial fat due to HIV or aging and is not uncommon in individuals on HAART. Facial lipoatrophy appears as facial lines increase with folds and depressed scars leaving pronounced cheekbones, sunken cheeks and loss of facial volume. Polyalkylimide is sold in Canada as Bio-Alcamid. It is a permanent filler that is a popular option for the treatment of HIV-associated facial lipoatrophy. It is an injectable, water-based gel containing 4% polyalkylimide. Polyalkylimide has become one of the most promising and widely-used facial fillers used in treating facial lipoatrophy. However, people who have injections of the facial filler polyalkylimide may have immune-related side effects many months after the injections. Side effects range from tender nodules, headaches, fever and immune inflammation. Are you experiencing any side effects from polyalkylimide? Please let us know here.

nope; had it done two and a half years ago before it was approved by Health Canada and have had no problems and no regrets.
Andrew Denton used a total of 7cc of Bio-Alcamid in May 2007 (at $300 per cc) to fill in places where Radiesse had dissipated. It's been a year now and the results are 100% satisfactory: smooth and stable.
