Not Worth It
Spent: $500 in New York City, NY

hi, years ago i had silicone well thats what they said it was injections to my butt and thights area after some time my skin color was changing and it was getting hard, now after about 10 years im still paying the consequence of my mistake i have no money left trying to fix the problem been hospitalize many time and still havent found a solucion, i cant sit for long or even sleep because i have to turn from side to side when it start to hurt, the size of my butt and thithts are very noticeble and the color and tissue is almost unbeareable.

i would not recomend this to anybody, i did it cuz i was ignorant and stupid. the best thing anyone can do to make their body look good is exercise and eat right and if you still want to do surgery do it right with reall doctors.

please help me someone. i heard they are some time of steroids that can some what dissolove this, is that true? i know i cant fix the problem but maybe i can reduce it a little...i dont know what to do anymore please give me some light. thank you

Hi,something similar happened to mexican singer Alejandra Guzman. She was just as desperate and almost died from the infection she got from injections in her buttocks of an unknown substance. The only place she found help was in "Hospital Medica Sur" in Mexico City. In this hospital she found the doctor who operated her and removed the infected tissue. It was a difficult case. I don't remember the name of the doctor but it will be easy to find since it was in the news all over and you can find information in the internet. I don't know how much this cost her, but prices in Mexico are lower than in the U.S. And this hospital is one of the most prestigious in Mexico.

thank you so much laura, i also knew about this, i havent investigate on the doc as of yet neither on the hospital what i did hear, that the operation they did plus the machine she was attached to for 24 hours cost $1,000,000. i know that if it is on my lords will for me to get this type of money or find another solution i have trust in him that people like you or other doctors who are willing to help victims of this nature like my self, will read this and will help me. thank you once again

elly 39, I heard Alejandra Guzman say in interview on TV that her total expenses for the procedure were $500,000. Just wanted to tell you, of course I know almost no one has this kind of money. I'm sure that if you write to her doctor personally he will give you another quote for this. In Mexico, doctors usually understand economic limitations and are willing to help. I also have another doctor I can highly recommend to you. Let me know if you are interested in contacting her or if you want I can tell her about your case and see what she says. She will never charge you the kind of money I mentioned above, not even a fraction, she has never ever charged such amounts to anyone not even for sewing back a limb, which she does on a regular basis.

What I don't understand is how a celebrity like Alexandra Guzman who was born wealthy and can afford the best had A Back Alley non licensed person put a cocktail of oils and some kind of powder that is iced to stop excessive bleeding , I had it done with Dr. Shiffman in NY who at the time had a permit or license i asked him to show me and I consider myself lower middle class. It's like if Madonna had mineral oil injections. She should have asked ,research even I an Endermologist have the common sense to research what was injected into my GLUTES silicon 1000 originally for Ophthalmic retinal surgery ,was my choice but not even the real Doctors in the 80s who had permits like Dr.Orentreich and his son both excellent dermatologist will use the Ophthalmic his answer was the viscosity 1000 cst is like honey real Doctors who work on bodies as well as Dr.Shiffman used Dow cornimg 360 medical fluid this was told to me by the doctor himself and I know it wasn't sterile that's why I asked if the fluid can or is sterile

Elly39 - the experts on RealSelf have addressed the questions about silicone filler removal in a few other cases. Here's one example:

Can I have Silicone injections removed?

I hope you are able to find a solution to your problem.

Unfortunately it is different for each individual , my lips were done against my will, It was suggested by someone special and I was told it was collagen it would go away some people remain soft but my lips actually grew with time till I looked like those Bratz dolls then I had them cut out and now 5 yrs later I'm happy but the scar tissue from the operation augmented them

Please gey it done by a professional because I hav ebad scars all over my buttocks area. And it's a painful. Take your time and do some research

Be careful and make sure the product is designed for healthcare and not car engines. To the common eye they look the same and are the same dimethilpolysiloxane fluid difference being it comes as dirty as a water puddle and sterile enough to inject in your eye or for lubrication of surgical instruments before surge, but looking at the pictures in this site of people injected my but is holding up and even though most Doctors will tell you otherwise Endermologie has really improved the skin texture and Cavitation seems to be smoothing it out , I did the Kenalog shots and all they do is bring the swelling down for a month on my body corticosteroids are extremely harmful I have faith in non- evasive ways to better the mistake since there's no curing it because it actually attaches and becomes one with your tissue I paid 10 thousand to have my lip reduced was happy and still an but 25 percent of what the doctor cut off with a surgical sizer because a scalpel won't cut through the stuff
So if you are gonna poison your body use the weakest poison Medical grade if they tell you 200 fluid which is what most people use is a car engine lube but what's done is done I hope you change your mind

Do you know someone who asks the same question expecting a different answer is one of the true meaning of insanity. I wish I had Internet in 89 when I had my ass done . I would have a nice soft but everyone said that Raquel Welch and all the stars had it and I was but 19 or 20 so now I have to suffer having granulomas painful ones on my but so please listen

Silicone injections are bad. Don't have them.
BrittB (3,836 posts) 18 Oct 2010

Hi Jennygirl,

Did you have silicon injections?

Thanks,

-Britt

Good morning Jennie how are you feeling?
Jennygirl (45 posts) 20 Oct 2010
Nope. I was advised against it.
BrittB (3,836 posts) 20 Oct 2010

So Jennygirl,

I'm just curious, you posted "Silicone injections are bad. Don't have them," but you never had them, you just were advised not to. Were you going to get them, I'm puzzled how you could say their bad without ever having them.

Thanks,

-Britt

So Britt,

I follow the advice of my doctor who tells me they have been a nightmare when he has seen the poor women trashed by them. He blogs if you'd like to read for yourself.
BrittB (3,836 posts) 25 Oct 2010

Oh, I see. So you were considering getting them?

-Britt

It is so weird that you ask so many questions about a simple comment. I just don't see how this is constructive for Jennygirl or the other readers. It get an email everytime you have a new concern about Jennygirl's answers and go to the comment hoping to read something productive and then realize it is just your obsessive questioning, trying to make your point about something that you should just let go.
