A WOMAN was stricken with fatal sepsis after butt fillers more than a year earlier.
The 29-year-old had an injection 14 months before becoming seriously ill.

She was admitted to the hospital with the infection after developing an abscess at the injection site.
The patient felt nauseous and had about six inches of cellulitis, caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus lugdunensis.
Blood tests have revealed high levels of white blood cells and C reactive protein, a marker for inflammation.
She started taking antibiotics and her abscess was drained the next day.
Imaging showed swelling in the innermost layer of skin in both buttocks, which also had air pockets.
Doctors believe this is due to an infection that has formed in the charges with dangerous gas-generating organisms, which is also why it took so long to present it.
After five days, the abscess was drained again and 500 ml of dead tissue and filling material was removed.
She was discharged after 18 days of hospitalization to complete another 6-week antibiotic treatment at home, and her wound is currently healthy and has completely healed.
Had Our Fill Campaign
Britain’s addiction to Botox and fillers fuels a £ 2.75 billion industry.
Anti-wrinkle and plumping treatments represent 9 out of 10 cosmetic procedures.
50% of women and 40% of men aged 18 to 34 want to plump their pout and polish their face.
The fillers are absolutely unregulated, and incredibly, you don’t need ANY qualification to buy and inject them.
83% of botched jobs are done by people with no medical training, often in unsanitary environments – with devastating results.
Women ended up with rotten tissue, requiring lip amputations, lumps and even blinded by sloppy jobs.
Despite the dangers, there is no legal age for dermal fillers, which is why Fabulous launched Had Our Fill, a campaign calling for:
- fillers will be made illegal for those under 18
- a crackdown on social media sites that block fillers
- a central government-backed registry for practitioners with accredited qualifications
We work in collaboration with Save face and are supported by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
We want anyone considering non-surgical cosmetic treatment to be well informed to make a safe decision.
We’ve had our fill of rogue traders and dummy clinics – have you?
Lead author Dr Siobhan Quirke from St James’s Hospital Dublin presented the case to the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
She said complications are rare, but added: “However, complications increase as fillers are becoming one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures.
“This is something cosmetic patients and healthcare professionals should be aware of.
“The reason for the substantial delay between surgery and infection is unclear, but may be due to the unusual organisms that can live on the surface of the dermal filler (known as a biofilm).
“Pseudomonas oryzihabitans is an unusual cause of human infection, but in recent years it has become increasingly linked to nosocomial and opportunistic infections.

Fortunately, treatment is not difficult due to the low level of resistance to common antibiotics.
“Nevertheless, this case is a reminder that it is important to choose a reputable cosmetic surgeon.”
Buttocks fillers use volumizing substances, such as silicone. They can be dangerous because you don’t always know what is being injected and it can travel to other parts of the body.
