Some Advice I received from a very reputable Doctors surgery who has alot of experience removing Dermalive, which is very very important:

Many dermalive patients feel they can go to any Plastic Surgeon and the treatment and results will be the same. Unfortunately, this is not true. Two problems exists:...one being the granulomas as a result of Dermalive and the second, scars as a result of how granulomas were surgically removed. We have seen many cases whereby the Doctor has done more damage in the way granulomas are surgicallly removed. This is not a quick fix nor is it about filling the face up with fat. I can only stress the importance of choosing the right Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon who has a proven expertise in reconstructive disfigurement and working with removing non absorbable fillers.

Make sure you see a Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon with the letters
MB BS FRACS after their name as this indicates the level of training they have had

*FRACS (Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons) is the gold standard of surgical training and qualification in Australia. It requires 6 –10 years of training after the basic medical degree MBBS, which all doctors obtain from their medical school. Only with the FRACS qualification can a practitioner be accorded with Specialist Registration
