“Had silicone in my lips and eyebrows 25 years ago, now want silskin.”
Silicone injections: Worth it
Pain: Mild
I had silicone injected to my lips and between eye brows in 1985, and it was and has been perfect. Everyone always comments on what nice lips I have (my secret!) and I never experienced any unwanted side effects. It has been stable,and has remained where it was injected.
Unfortunately, the plastic surgeon who did this,died 8 years ago.(Died suddenly at 48, of his first heart attack.) My problem is that I reside in Canada, and can find no doctor who will inject silicone, as it is 'illegal' here. This is extremely unfortunate, as silicone is known to be inert and very stable over time, when used in rather small quantities, as I had. I have tried everything to locate a practitioner for 5 years now! I would like someone in upstate NY, so I can drive for injections, to be done gradually, over months.
Please help. Thank you in advance, if you know a seperb practitioner, in Buffalo, Rochester, Albany?

Hi Eileen,
There are a few doctors listed in the RealSelf directory for New York silicone injections. Are they in your area?
Good luck!

Hi Eileen. I've been using Silikon-1000 for 10 years with fabulous, predictable results, and a low risk of complications. I have several Canadian patients; one of them posted a review here at RealSelf: http://www.realself.com/review/Silikon-1000. I hope this is helpful, and best regards.
