Treatment for Facial Granulomas After Silicone Injections

My mother had silicone injections (biopolymer) applied in face and since 3 years ago has facial granulomas, facial swelling, redness and pain mainly underneath both eyes where sometimes it becomes difficult for her to see.

She has been to dermatologists and other eye doctors who have tried therapy with steroids (orally and injected) and have had no success. Please offer any solution we live in Miami and will travel anywhere. PLEASE PLEASE HELP My mother now suffers from a severe depression due to this. This picture is after a recent intervention of a steroid injection. Usually she swells even more.
