honestly it will, start to pray now so god in his loving mercy may help u find a doctor that can help u...good luck

Sometimes we have to sit down before making dangerous decisions and think about the pros and the cons. Is going along with this decision/procedure going to cause harm to me or am i risking my life? Is it worth? If u answer yes then there is no reason why u should be upset two three or four years down the road. You knew the risk, and everybody body reacts different and some people side effects come later than others. My friend had injections also but she didnt start having effects until 9 1/2 years after the fact. She was speaking to people saying the sane things, encouraging them to get them and explaining to them to make sure they look into the doctor who does it and make sure he or she is licensed. Her doctor was licensed so what does that say? Ladies ask your self is it really worth it and if u feel that it is not, good choice and if u feel that the risk is worth taking dont be upset and scared when the worst come to past because u knew what u were getting yourself into. If i man cant see you pass your butt than there is a serious problem.

I'd suggest you ask board certified plastic surgeons in your area about their opinions of silicone. 

I'm concerned by what I hear from surgeons about silicone injection patients who now want the product removed.  See Dr. Moelleken's opinion here, since he's seen this first-hand. His statement that things look fine, then complications set in, should be taken very seriously.

There are also plenty of cautionary tales on RealSelf about bad outcomes too. Think more than twice about silicone injections.

you don't know what you are talking about, 4896. botox is nothing like silicone. i had silicone injected 20 years ago and it looked great for 15 years. i also went to someone whom my friends had gone to without complication and they looked great. i wonder what they look like today.

you have no clue what you are in for down the road. it's not just about rejection. in 5 years your butt is going to be sagging worse than regular tissue, at the very least. i am not a mere minor statistic. complications are in the majority. there is a reason why legitimate board certified surgeons refuse to do it. someone who travels does not sound legitimate, "ignorant females" or not. wake up. all of us who received silicone injections were ignorant, including you.

there are plenty of alternatives available these days that weren't available when i was young. fillers, fat injections, butt implants. injectable silicone is a BIG mistake. you will pay down the road.

btw, God has nothing to do with it. if you are a true believer, He wouldn't want you altering the body He gave you. it's just pathetic the way some people will justify things.

if you are replying to me... obviously you did not read this entire thread. my connection is that i am one of the ones currently suffering. not horribly like the person who started this discussion. like others, i am here in search of hope, looking for success stories of silicone removal. unfortunately it is rare.

any comments i make are simply to share my own story, the same as everyone else. i believe that's what this forum is for. when someone insinuates that my injections were done improperly or that i didn't do my homework, they are the ones being antagonistic. not to mention delusional. that is why i feel it is important for me to point out that i looked great for the first 15 years or so. everyone thinks it will never happen to them. denial.

there are more stories of commiseration as opposed to assistance for a reason. if i can talk just one person out of getting injected who is considering it and found this thread, then it is worth it. it's not as if i don't have better ways to spend my time. i hope we can help each other and our stories serve as a wake up call. i wish someone had talked me out of it. no, i can't offer assistance to those suffering. i am not a plastic surgeon and it seems few doctors can (or want) to help. thanks for asking, though.

thanks. i am a petite woman with 2 kids. i have always been small but sometimes it gets to me because shopping for womens clothes is hell for me.needless to say my body isn't the same after the kids. i thought about breast implants and butt injections. my husband told me that he loves my body no matter what. but i am not satisfied with whats in the mirror. any way i have decided that my life is more important than my looks. breast and but not the same, everything else works!!! :-)
