Pain After Silicone Injections on Butt?
I had 1000cc's of silikon1000 injection into the buttocks 2 yrs. ago. Then last summer 1000cc's of adatosil5000 injected into the buttocks I had no problem but about 3 months later I still have this slight pain in the right buttock. It’s not too painful; I could sit on it for long. I only feel it like when I try to touch my toes. I did an X-ray and nothing came back. What do you think I should do? Another test, maybe? There is no lump, redness nor marks. Might it be an infection or went in muscle?

Clinical exam followed by Imaging study if needed
Many complications arise from Silicone injection in different body areas. Foreign body granulomas, infections,etc. could be very frequent. Removal of the silicone is extremely difficult if not impossible due to the interaction with the issues. I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon. The only imaging studies that will show some results are CT scan and MRI's. Hopefully, you will never need to face any of these complications.

Silicone injections into buttocks
First, silicone injections int he buttocks or for that matter for cosmetic rejuvenation has not been recommended and is not FDA approved. There have been alot of complications from silicone injections. That being said, the best way to analyze if you have an infection or granulomas is to get an MRI. An x-ray will not give you too much information.

Pain after silicone injection may be a simmering infection
Although it is common in other countries, Silicone should NEVER be injected into your buttocks. Your body can cause a very severe reaction to the silicone and create excess scar tissue that may deform the appearance of your butt. This may occur at any time after your injection. It is possible that this pain may be a symptom of the scar tissue developing or a mild infection.

Silicone complications after buttock injections
Silicone injections are routinely administered into the buttocks in South America and Asia. I routinely treat patients who suffer complications associated with these treatments and do not perform silicone injections on my patients.
In your particular case, there may be subclinical injection of silicone near a nerve in the buttocks which may be causing a local inflammatory reaction or pressure on the nerve. I would recommend an MRI, but I believe the yield on the diagnostic test will be...
