Is it possible to remove injectable butt augmentation substance?
Around 2005 i had injections done in my buttocks and then again in 2006. Sad to say on both occasions it was not administered from a doctor. I'm unsure of what the substance really is. Since then My buttocks have formed discoloration and lumps. My left buttock has dropped tremendously so now i"m distorted. Is there something that i can do to fix this? I know i've made a terrible decision I'm really afraid.

A: Removing buttock injections is a difficult situation
It would be helpful to find out, what the heck is in there? Is it silicone, or a fat transfer, or something else? If you know, then share it with your doctor. If you do not know, and can not find out, an X-ray may be helpful, as some substances show up on X-ray, while others do not. This has been present for a... more
A: Seek a plastic surgeon experienced in soft tissue buttock augmentation
No doubt about it, you need a thorough exam. It might include x-rays to determine what substance has been injected. If it is at all possible to track down the individual who performed the treatment or just to have them send you records of the treatment, it might help. The only person who can help you decide... more
A: Difficult to remove!!
It might be very hard to remove the substance injected. I would try to leave it in place except if you have a bad reaction,infection etc..

I have not gotten any injections yet. I've been reading a lot of the comments about how dangerous this silicone substance is and I am very afraid. However, I can't say that I won't try it. There are all kinds of video girls that do this and they seem just fine. it makes you wonder.

I too plan on getting this done but am becoming very skeptical after reading these comments. It's hard to actually speak to someone who's had it done because a lot of women won't admit to it (come on, you didn't grow a butt over night lol). Any more feedback you guys could give would be great.

I got it done in 2006 and had not had any bad reactions, but I regret it soooooo much because I am afraid I can get bad reactions or even infection like other people I have herd, my recomendation if you want to do a butt augmentation is to inject your own fat.
