Need a Dr in GA to remove silicone injections from buttocks!

Thank you for your question regarding what to do for illegal silicone injections into the buttock. I would highly suggest you have your injections removed. The injections should be removed to minimize the potential for migration and spread. Also, the injections should be removed to reduce the conversion into granulomas or siliconomas. In addition, removing the silicone and associated scar tissue should help to diminish localized pain. There are two ways to remove silicone. They can be removed with suction or with an open incision. A consultation will need to be established to determine which procedure you may need. Typically an MRI is ordered to determine if the product is in the muscle, mainly the gluteus Maximus muscle. The open technique is preferred if the product is in the muscle. Other factors determine whether you need the open or closed suction technique. Please seek an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. There may not be a specialist in your area, so consider traveling out of state. Since this is a very complex surgery, you may require an expert in this field.
I hope that I have answered your questions regarding removing silicone from the buttock

The FDA warns AGAINST silicone injections on their website. The FDA states “Do not get injectable silicone or any type of filler material for large-scale body contouring or enhancement.” Also, the FDA has said Injectable silicone is permanent, with side effects that can occur right after the injection and up to years after treatment. Silicone spreads and migrates easily inside the body, which may worsen adverse events and make surgical attempts to remove the silicone oil more difficult or impossible. Silicone, when injected into areas with many blood vessels such as the buttocks, can travel to other parts of the body and block blood vessels in the lungs, heart, or brain. This can permanently damage those tissues and lead to stroke or death.”

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for you.  Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.
