Many years ago I had injected liquid silicon in my face. How to Rebuild my Face by Removing Liquid Silicon?

Hi Brunna Zürich in Wettingen, Thank you for your question how to rebuild your face by removing liquid silicon that you many years ago had injected in your face. Thank you for your history and your picture. Silicone should never be injected into the body or the face. Unfortunately many people are still today injecting silicone throughout their bodies and faces. Silicone can cause many complications, including deformity, creation of excess scar tissue, migration, skin color changes, hypercalcemia, kidney stones, and even, kidney failure. Most plastic surgeons who specialize in silicone removal agree that silicon should be removed as soon as possible, and not wait for the potential development of complications. To remove silicone from the face, an incision is made in front of the ear, like a facelift. This is on both sides. The face is dissected and the injected silicone is exposed.
Then the silicone is removed from the cheek, central face, mandible, and even chin. Most plastic surgery silicone removal experts agree, that this is the best approach to the face as opposed to making a direct incision over the facial silicone lesions. Therefore, I would suggest you do your research and find a plastic surgeon who specializes in silicone removal from the face. There are such specialists. Good luck. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen, MD

I have seen countless patients with silicone in the face and there are only a subset of patients who we can successfully treat with surgery or excision.  A consultation is likely required before recommendations are made for silicone removal.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

I am not a fan of free silicone injections into the face because of the problems associated with it. It is also very difficult to impossible to remove it.
