How to Fix Complications from Silicone Injections?
This is the first time I am reaching out. I have yet to see a doctor because I don’t know where to go or who to turn to because this was all done on the black market. I live in NY.
I had silicone injected into my hips and rear about 2 yrs ago. I had a series of injections done at someone’s home who was not a medical professional.
I was stupid and now I am paying the price with all kinds of issues. I have swelling the comes and goes.
What should I do? Please help me.

Treatment of silicone injections to the lips and face
Silicone on the lips can be safely removed in many cases. I have had success in the longterm management of this problem. Treatment options may vary from one individual to another.

Silicone injections
Silicone injections are very difficult to deal with. These are microparticles that can cause later complications like infections and granulomas. The difficulty is the almost impossible task or removing it completely without cutting the involved tissue out. This is because it can get into all levels of tissues.

Silicone injections: Difficult problem to treat
This is an extremely difficult problem to treat.
Your best bet is to call around for individuals willing to treat you but my guess is that very few individuals will want to take this problem on. It is time intensive and there is no definitive cure. The silicone pockets will need to be drained individually and it is highly unlikely that you will ever completely remove all of the silicone.
