In 2005 I had injectibles placed in my buttocks...

In 2005 I had injectibles placed in my buttocks which quickly became inflamed. Plastic surgeons would not touch me so I ended up in an emergency room where young doctors conducted emergency surgery and basically stAbbed me up like. Baked potato to allow the product to drain out. Years later I am left with unsightly scarring dimpling and asymmetry. I would like to e plods my options to reduce the asymmetry and visibility of the scars while adding volume and fullness. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant so I know there is nothing I can do now but pre pregnancy I am 5'4 and 130 pounds. I have only gained 15 pounds so far so don't expect much extra weight to loose post pregnancy but I would love to use any extra fat for fat transfer.

Great review?

So sorry this happened to you. Some people do so well. I have friends who have had them for years and nothing went wrong. Unfortunately the guy died. But he was safe.

I thought I researched enough. I will never be the same. I had what she called hydrogel injected and not an hour later had kidney and liver failure. The drs tried removing it but were not able to remove it all as it has intermingled with my bodys tissue. I can feel it as it moves around my buttocks and my lower back depending on the position that Im in. I pray this does not happen to my worst enemy. I have only seen one surgeon and feel he has taken me as far as he can. I have terrible surgical wounds on my butt however that is the least of my worries. I just want whatever this is OUT.

Where did u go for the injections? How is your health now (liver/kidney)? When/how did u realize you were having organ failure.

I had them done at someones home. I knew many people that had gone there and everything SEEMED LEGIT and sterile. I immediately (30mins into the injections) began to get terrible leg cramping and I got got and began to shake. I went to urinate and it looked as if I were peeing BLOOD,however I'd gotten rhabdiomyalisis which is some muscle disease that caused my kidney n liver to shut down therefore my urine was blood red. They dropped me to the e/r and left me there.....the next thing I remember is waking up from a 2wk coma after having an ecmo machine (an artificial heart n lung machine).....it saved my life w the grace if God and my familys prayers. I no longer take dialysis and am well on my wat to being 100% however I have terrible scarring on my buttocks fron all the surgeries frim the drs trying to drain whatever was injected into me

I am so sorry this happened to you. I am glad you are willing to share. It seems too many people are still willing to take the risk. And the beautiful results make it tempting. But the risk is huge!

Same here. I had injections by pmma bioplasty, didn't work out for me either, spent all my money, now I have no ass, no money, and no self confidence.
mine only 28 Sep 2012
had mine injected like 3years ago and i dont have any complications so far, paid $800, the reason i had mine done is because i didnt have self esteem looking at my body and always wanted to have a bigger butt but it was to expensive and i honestly think if plastic surgeons would really reduce there price us girls wouldnt go to unlicensed cheap ladies that inject but it is what it is.

Do you understand this is a toxic substance you are willing to Put in your body? People die and have awful complications. Please don't take the risk.

I wish your mom a speedy and healthy recovery. What a story
Vanessa R 20 Sep 2012
Ladies, you are all so brave for coming on here and sharing your stories. I just recently found out my mother did this to herself 10 years ago. She has kept this secret for 10 years. At first she didn't have any symptoms and her buttocks actually looked normal. 5 years later, her nightmare began. She began to experience horrible leg pains and bumps on her buttocks due to the poison she had injected. She dealt with the pains and bruises and bumps for 5 more years by doing plasma treatments which alleviated some of her pain but not all. About a week ago she finally had to go into surgery because a piece of skin in her buttocks became completely deformed and scarred. The surgeon says the skin was completely dead and the best thing to do is remove it. I felt numb, and angry that she would do something so crazy to herself since she was always and always will be perfect to me. Now I am slowly understanding and researching but the more I read, the more scared I am for my mom. These injections are poison ladies. I congratulate any and all of you that are brave enough to go through surgery to at least get some of the product removed. For those of you who aren't sure or are scared, you aren't alone. Everybody makes mistakes, how you handle things after is what really counts! Keep strong ladies.

You are an amazingly strong supporter for your mother. God bless you. This was always a concern for me with my friends 3 women i know got butt injections in a hotel room, all seem to be well 13 years later. I have no idea what injections were used. Some stories are horrible.

The pain may be muscular but it's likely being caused by the product injected. I definitely didn't want to have it removed but I also didn't want serious life threatening health conditions. And the pain grew worse. I actually had the product out in under anesthesia by a se in Colombia. My friend has it done the same day and didn't have a reaction.

It's hard to follow you due to your choice of words. I truly wish you well and complete healing. It seems as if once the injections are in it becomes part of your tissue makeup. Perhaps you can try Epsom salt baths for the discomfort. Not to warm but comfortable.

Where did you do the procedure. I am sorry you are experiencing that pain. I had the same thing. Major soreness and it it very got to the touch and red in color.

Columbia Presbyterian hospital in NYC. I entered through the emergency dept because i was having a reaction at the time. Other than the awful scars i Have no side effects. I couldn't find a plastic surgeon willing to help me at the time. Good luck. Are you having complications?

loverocs 14 Oct 2012
I'm so sorry. This is crazy and i still want to get them. Thinking this won't happen to me. How much longer will this pain continue in all of these women on here. Something has to be available somewhere. I truly thought silicone was safe. I don't think it was silicone. But everybody responds differently to everything. God bless you.
