no, heard good things about it though.
Success rate is higher than with surgery. Look up Tessa's Lymphatic Malformation, on the web. Thee are before and after pics.

Hello I am Tessa's mom. As to date Tessa has had four surgeries and five injections of OK-432 we know this drug works for Tessa because of the fluid color at each injection. Tessa also is able to tells us that each time a new swelling pops up it is a new LM based on how it feels to her. Email me anytime at wibearmom@yahoo.com

My daughter also had the OK-432 injections and it completely took care of her "macro" element. She was very sick after injections, but it really worked well for her. It will not work on the "micros" though, which she also has.
