Removing Injected Silicone

Injected silicone can be a disaster.

In my practice, we see patients that have had silicone injected in their face or body. Many of these were done outside of the United States as most dermatologists and plastic surgeons recognize the problems that can occur with injecting free silicone into someone - especially non-medical grade. The body will form scar tissue around the silicone, however depending on the injection techniques removal can be challenging.

It may be possible to remove the silicone from an intra oral incision, but this depends on the amount of silicone and its position.

Find a board certified plastic surgeon to help you with this difficult problem.

I hope this helps.
