Dear Doctor,I am Marci. I have been suffering these 2 years. 4 years ago I have injected oil silicone in buttock by not real doctors by thinking to create more proportion in my body since I have a big breast. They told me there were injecting collagen instead of the material they use. One year after that I didn't had any problem, any disturbing. After 1 year I start having redness, swollen hardness, pain, vomiting and weakness and I couldn't sleep properly in the both sides. I have been taking different antibiotics, IV , for a period of one year. Till I found a plastic surgeon doctor Mr. Ashok Govilla who willed to help me with my case. He done the surgery which took 6 hours and he removed a container of the material. In the biopsy result was mentioned that was found: Consistent with silicone granulomaI had 5 cuts in total in both sides. In six months I start having the same symptoms, redness ,hardness and collection in some other zones of the butt, it goes and comes because we using Kanolone Injection 10 mg since 9 months- only during the times that it appears(3 times during 9 months). I am sending uploading the actual photos-how it looks now . I marked by myself with the blue marker the areas which are hard, painful and hot -because im not sure if it shows in picture because I had the cortisone done recently. And there are not so active. I am very worried and in pain too, as I saw cases like mine in internet and they have different ending.Doctors who had previous patient having the same problem as mine and perosns withe the same symptoms kindly advise me what to do,which doctor to chose,to remove, as i am planning to go in USA I really hope in your help and please assist me by replying or suggesting what can I do, I want to get rid of it,I am planing to come in usa as soon as possible.Looking forward for your reply. Many Thanks, Marci
