Nearly
one
year
ago
I
attended
a
different
clinic
in
Ottawa
for
a
lip
procedure.
The
nurse
proceeded
to
inject
the
wrong
substance
into
my
lips
by
accident,
causing
extreme
swelling
and
complete
numbness
that
lasted
for
months.
I
was
told
this
error
had
never
occurred
before
and
there
was
no
information
on
what
the
long-term
implications
would
be,
as
the
substance
that
was
injected
was
not
meant
for
the
lip
area.
Needless
to
say
this
was
by
far
the
scariest
experience
of
my
life.
I
didn't
know
if
my
face
would
ever
look
normal
again
or
if
I
would
ever
re-gain
full
feeling.
In
desperation
while
at
the
emergency
hospital
that
Sunday
evening,
I
reached
out
to
Dr.
Michon
via
Instagram
to
ask
if
he
could
help
me.
Dr.
Michon,
who
was
in
a
completely
different
time
zone
on
the
other
side
of
the
world
attending
a
conference
on
complications
(ironically
enough),
responded
quickly,
offered
his
initial
opinion
after
asking
me
to
send
him
photos,
and
offered
to
see
me
on
his
lunch
break
the
first
day
he
was
back,
that
following
Tuesday.
Not
only
did
he
continue
to
follow
up
with
me
for
the
next
several
months,
but
he
also
took
the
time
to
go
above
and
beyond
in
many
ways
-
consulting
with
other
doctors
around
the
world,
reaching
out
to
the
Ontario
Nurse's
Association,
contacting
the
pharmacy
that
prepares
the
vials,
and
researching
into
possible
solutions
to
help
speed
my
recovery.
He
checked
in
often
to
see
how
things
were
progressing
and
was
always
quick
to
respond
to
any
questions
I
had.
This
is
a
man
who
cares
so
deeply
about
patient
safety,
and
his
passion
for
the
medical
cosmetic
field
shows
not
only
in
his
day-to-day
work
but
also
in
his
constant
involvement
in
research,
learning
and
teaching
others.
It's
pretty
obvious
that
he
is
an
expert
in
this
field
and
Ottawa
is
extremely
lucky
to
have
him.
Please,
if
you
are
considering
lip
fillers,
do
your
research
on
your
injectors.
Yes,
some
places
may
cost
less.
But
if
you
are
someone
who
is
considering
cosmetic
injections,
it
means
you
clearly
care
about
how
you
look.
Take
it
from
me,
your
face
is
NOT
something
you
want
to
take
a
risk
with.
I
was
lucky
that
my
outcome
was
not
worse,
but
from
now
on,
I
know
that
I
am
in
the
best
hands
with
Dr.
Michon
and
his
team.
