I see a lot about Silikon 1000 as a permanent filler for treatment of the under eye area, such as the eye trough. It also has a very high rating on here at 89% positive. However, I still see doctors mainly using Restyland or Juvederm. Why is that?
In my opinion, very few doctors use Silikon 1000 as a filler for two reasons: one, they are not trained; and two, they have been misinformed as to the safety and efficacy of Silikon 1000 as a filler. I can only say that I learned from the world's authority on liquid injectable silicone (my father and mentor, Jay G. Barnett MD) and it is my filler of choice for everything as it is safe, permanent, precise and gives very natural-appearing results. In the hands of a well-trained, board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon, experienced in injecting Silikon 1000, it is an ideal filler. Unfortunately, there are many physicians and non-physicians who are inexperienced and are injecting it improperly. Any filler injected by a poorly-trained person (who may not even be a board-certified physician) can cause problems.
I'm a 25 year old male taking Accutane. I expect to finish at the end of April or begining of May. I know I shouldn't have surgery on Accutane, but I was wondering if anyone has filled rolling scars using Silikon 1000 or similar on someone who was taking Accutane. I plan to ask my dermatologist her opinion during my next appointment, but I don't think she will be familiar with anything cosmetically related and will just advice against it.
In our practice we do a tremendous amount of silicone injections for acne scarring. It does beautifully with rolling acne scars. That being said, I prefer not to inject patients while they are on Accutane. In general, it is best to avoid elective cosmetic treatments to the skin while on Accutane. I recommend you consult with a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in treating acne scars once you have finished your Accutane course. The link below shows before and after photos of acne scars treated with liquid injectable silicone.
Ive had 3 injections of silikon 1000 in my nose and i started to notice a lump in my nose. It migrates and it seems to move when i massage it. It has been about 20 days since my last appointment and i have one more before I'm done. Is there a way to treat the lump? I continue to massage it but it does not seem to help. Is there anything i can do before it gets worse. Thanks.
My mentor (jay G. Barnett, MD) and I have a lot of experience injecting liquid injectable silicone (LIS) into the nose and have never had problems with lumps in any of our patients. When injected properly and conservatively with the micro-droplet injection technique by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon, it is the ideal filler for correcting nasal imperfections or for the non-surgical rhinoplasty. That being said, it is possible to get a lump, but it is also possible that what you are feeling and seeing as a lump and migration may in fact be something entirely unrelated to the silicone. I would highly recommend that you stop massage immediately and that you follow up with the doctor who did the injections immediately to address your concerns.
