Silicone Injections: Q&A

Ask a Question

I have silicone injections in my cheeks. What kind of steriods will remove it and how do they work?

Will the steroids make the scar tissue softer? What effects will the steroids have?

Steroids and Silicone Injections

It would be helpful to know why you want to remove the silicone and what your concerns are. That being said, intralesional Kenalog (cortisone) can help to break up and diminish the results from silicone injections. I recommend you consult with a board-certified physician experienced in injecting liquid silicone and in using cortisone to correct and unwanted results from it.
