I had 3 rounds of injections last year and the doctor injected too much in several areas giving me bumps all over my face! My face looked very bumpy and all the subsequent doctors i saw said it was obvious i had silicone injected. I finally had to get the bumps surgically excised- one on my left cheek, 4 on my right cheek, and one on my forehead. Thank god all but one improved which i'll likely have to live with. Anyway i would certainly not recommend silicone because there is very little room for error and if you do have complications they will be difficult to manage.

Hi Pezz, did you let Dr. Barnett know about the bumps? I was looking into this treatment as well, do you know if it was because too much was injected or because your body had a reaction to it? How big were the bumps?
Thanks!

yes i let her know but didnt go to her office to get them treated. The bumps were due to overinjection, they were not granulomas or anything.

I have a similar problem. Can you please tell me the doctor who corrected it. I have been suffering with this for many years with no success finding a doctor to remove. Also, if u could explain the procedure and healing process I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing your unfortunate story. Were you left with scars from the excisions?
I'm so glad that it was a worthwhile trade for you. This probably sounds like a stupid question, but when you say you taped them I'm assuming you mean with a bandage type tape to keep the incisions tightly closed, is that correct?
Great, thanks for filling me in. :)
