“Safety & Removal of Silicone Butt Injections?”

Have you found out anything? I am going through the same thing except I have actually developed granulomas and am panicking all the time about my idiotic decision to do this when I was a minor. :-( I too am in NY

Hello regretful2009, your problem is very complicated. I am not a surgeon but I have some ideas about your concern. Basically, this silicon that was injected to you was not approved by USDA nor any US doctor would administer that. That silicon might spread to ur tissues and cause more harm than esthetic effect.This silicon is very common with our latino bro's and sis specially the transgender community. I knew a friend who died from complications of this years of injections to hip and butt. Go find a specialist ASAP before it is too late.

Hello You have a sad story that I have seen many times.I have been interviewed on this subject several times. These are illegal injections done by People with no conscious or training in medicine. Free silicone injected into the body will form severe reaction called silicone granulomas which are very hard lumps made of silicone with severe reaction from the body, 1: The only way to remove silicone granulomas is by surgery, actually cutting the granuloma and some surrounding tissue if these tissues are not vital structures. If the granulomas are in vital structures you can not remove otherwise you will have severe functional problems. If injected to the breast and have severe granulomas the treatment is MASTECTOMY. In the buttock the granulomas and the fat around them will be removed leaving you with severe deformity of the buttocks. Silicone CAN NOT BE REMOVED BY LIPOSUCTION. 2: We do not know if these granulomas affect the fetus. 3: Liposuction will not remove these silicone granulomas. Surgery may be able to remove some of the granulomas. By cutting them 4: The placement of silicone is usually above the muscle. Most injectors are so unqualified that they do not know where they are injecting the silicone. CT scan can determine where the silicone is exactly. 5: You will have a serous issue with the silicone injected evanyually, Granulomas can work themselves through the skin, silicone can migrate to other tissues and other areas, can get infected, can cause severe deformities, can block lymph channels, and cause swelling. Remember most of the silicone injected is NOT MEDICAL GRADE SILICONE. It is commercial grade (from hardware store) The only medical grade silicone available for injection in certain eye problems Retinal detachment, is available as ONE cc(equivalent to five drops), and is very expensive.You had more than 800cc injected, If it was medical grade it would have cost you $16,000.00 just for the silicone. If you assume these injectors took it from BREAST IMPLANTS, if they have access then each 800cc would cost $2000 for the silicone only. There are several deaths reported from injecting free silicone in these lage quantities because they are injected into a blood vessel and cause an EMBOLUS to the lung.

Hey I saw your post and saw that you was able to find someone in Ny to do it. I live in Ny I was wondering if you could email me and we could talk about the procedure because I would love to have the procedure done.

regretful2009, i hope everything works out for you so glad i read this post my friend is considering buttic enhancement not sure which method but hopefully not like this goodlord that's serious!!

HI . I WAS YOUNG WHEN I DID THIS STUPID INJECTIONS IN MY COUNTRY. ALL MY FRIENDS HAD DONE IT AND THEY HAVE NOT SUFFERED ANYTHING OTHER THAN granulomas. I WAS PREGNANT DURING THESE FORMATIONS STARTED. I WAS DONE LIPO BY
DR YAGER IN NYC (www.yagerplasticsurgery.com) ON FORT WASHINGTON AVE. LIPO HAS REDUCED THE SIZE AND SYMPTOMS. I HAVE BEEN TAKING STEROIDS FOR THE PAIN AND INFLAMMATION WHEN THEY RE APPEAR. I PRAY FOR MY LIFE EVERYDAY AND I AM ALWAYS PANICKING AS WELL.
I TRULY REGRET THIS PROCESS. THIS HAS COST ME TRIPLE THAN WHAT I PAID AND STRESS. I WOULD ADVISE NO ONE TO DO THIS. CURRENTLY I AM TAKING STEROIDS ONCE A MONTH WHEN THE PAIN COMES BACK. AND NOW I FELL DISCOMFORTS AROUND MY LOWER BACK. I AM DUE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER SESSION TO REMOVE SOME MORE SILICONE. YOU CAN LAST YEARS BEFORE SYMPTOMS OCCUR. I HAD 3 YRS BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENED.

Well first of all i'd like to say, if you're a transsexual, make sure you're positively sure about your transition, because once you get silicone it's very hard to remove.
Speaking from experience, i had work done, i had my chin, cheeks, hips and butt done, However the work was fine, i never had any problems since Ive got them, besides minor pain that comes and goes in the beginning but that's because your body is trying to heal it's self, with any type of surgical procedure, recovery time is necessary. Ive had the work done 6 years now, and still have no problems with it, or with the appearance, nothing is wrong, i understand that this is a dangerous procedure, but any procedure you do is very dangerous, You really need to know the person that is doing it, research him, and ask your friends if they have gotten it done, so you know what to expect, i understand that some transexuals are not financially secure, and this is the only way for them because of greedy cosmetic surgeons that charge you an arm and a leg to become who you are, and the governments do not recognize transgender people so you get no help with your transition, and your family in most cases have disowned you, so silicone injections are the only way, just be careful and know who's injecting you, once you get injected, do not go over board because you want to be more fem, going over board will make you look like a blow fish and unlike plastic surgeon augmentation, there is no control over the silicone, it's not contained, so you could develop extra scar tissue more than you need and that will make you look disproportionate, so remember less is more, for cheeks, get pumped TWICE ONLY, trust me, again speaking from experience, i went 4 times, your hips you can do up to 4 times, and make sure you tell him , i want a natural look, because you have to be realistic about what you're doing and what you're putting your body through. for my butt i only did it once, and that was enough for me, because your body loses and puts on fat, and as your body goes up and down in size that can cause dents in your ass, i think if you want it to be proportionate with your hips, you should do it once to fill in gaps, but nothing more, my personal opinion. As for injections for the chin, i do not recommend at all, the area will always stay red, not matter how little or how much you put in there, you're better off going to a plastic surgeon and get chin augmentation. that costs about 2500 -3500 depends how greedy your plastic surgeon is, but girls come on now, when there's a will, there's a way *wink* Ok o now i come to, WHEN YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE SILICONE INJECTIONS (speaking from experience) Although i was happy with almost all my work, i was not happy with my chin, i injected too much being naive that it will change my appearance, but like i said earlier, the scar tissue my body produced was too much, so my chin protruded outwards and i looked like a witch, very disproportionate, but it didn't look bad, the things was my old chin was better, i guess you don't know what you got till it's gone, so i wanted to get it fixed after having it for some time, i posted questions on how to remove it on here, and asked different doctors, they all gave me the same answers and scared the shit out of me, " you're in trouble, it's going to get infected, there is no way to remove it, it's very difficult" blah blah blah, nobody was telling me what i needed to know, just lecturing me, i'm going to add that i'm a transexual, and i know many many other transexuals that have and silicone injections for more than 30 years, only one of them that i know of has had problems because she got over pumped so to speak, and she got her breasts injected, which i don't recommend, even i was not that stupid, but what im trying to say is, IF YOU HAVE THEM AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS, DONT SCARE YOUR SELF IN TO THINKING YOU'RE EVER GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS,MOT LIKELY YOU WILL BE FINE - anyway i finally got a doctor to remove the silicone injections from my chin and cheeks, there's nothing wrong with them, i'm not infected, i don't have complications, i just want a different look, i liked my old look better, and i'm thinking of transitioning back, it can be done, we as humans can do anything and everything we want, so i will not let anything set me back on what i feel is right for me, anyway i got the surgery on my chin, it was local anesthesia, it took about 45 min to 1 hour, he got most of it out, stitched me, i have a scar underneath my chin, but it doesn't show and i can get it taken care of with a laser later on at my own convenience, it doesn't show, my chin is taking a little longer to heal, i still don't have all my sensation in my chin, but it looks 100% better, not perfect yet, but i still need time to heal, each body is different, it's been 3 months, i have no redness, no bruising it's all healed, i just have a little bit of swelling and with time me and my doctor think it will heal, i will never get my original chin back, but i will get one that closely resembles it's diameter. I will be getting the silicone removed from my cheek later on this month (may 2011) i will re-post what happens with that, but silicone removal is possible, you just need to find a more experienced plastic surgeon that is willing to actually help somebody instead of scaring and lecturing poor people that know they made a mistake but are reaching out for support. If you ask me, would you get silicone injections again, i would say, for the duration that i had the injections, it did transform me, and the injections served their purpose, without me having my look, my big hips, my augmented looking cheeks, and the cleft on my chin that was erased after the injections, i don't think i would of gotten this far and had the life experiences i did, So i don't regret them, but i would not do them again only fopr the mere fact that if i wanted it removed, like i do now, it's complicated, and you could be deformed after removing it, the doctor really needs to know what he's doing, it would help if you had an MRI before going to consult with a doctor, with an MRI, it's more likely that he will take your case, because he can see exactly where the silicone is injected, now if you're having now complications and like your look and you have nothing wrong with your face, don't unnessarly go get it removed because a doctor says it's gonna get infected, yeah maybe it will, but theres a great chance it wont like so many other happy people that have gotten it done and are happy, don't make any mistakes, i am not deformed, i have no complications, for 6 years i have to emphasize on that, i just want a different look, that's all, my chin surgery was a success, I'm just sharing my personal experiences and information in hope that it may help somebody else that is worrying about this, if you're fine now, you will be fine later, just be a good person, and have faith, you'll be fine. and remember i don't recommend silicone, but if you wanna get it done, go for it, but be cautious and smart about it. love and peace
