37 Silicone Removal of Buttocks with Fat Grafting - New York, NY

Had silicone injected to butt area by a friend of my mom's. Trusted her so much I never expected to be here laying on my bed regreting all this discomfort.
I started to feel pain years after silicone was put into my buttocks soon after I started going to the gym on a regular basis. I did some research to see if the "hylouric acid" as I was told it was would be a reason for the pain. To my amazement and disappointment it is almost impossible for someone to have this great product injected due to it not remaining in the body long and it's price. I started searching what could possibly be injected and in fact found it was silicone, what type, waiting for lab results... I found Dr. Mandieta in Miami as well as Dr. H. Lee to be highly recommended for the removal. I decided to go for Dr. Lee because he was closer and I would not have to worry about not makin follow up visits or being far in case of emergencies such as infection. I can't see much difference on my butt from what it was. Dr. Lee told me on the day of surgery that my butt would be in fact bigger than what it was. I am waiting patiently to see the results and post pictures of my big booty... I am going for my follow up today and to be honest other than not being able to sit I feel pretty good. I am glad I got however much he could of the stuff off and that he was honest and sure of the results being some that would make me happy.
I got arm, inner thigh and belly fat removed and added to my dear booty

Thanks ladies... Follow up was brief but as before Dr. Lee answered all questions.. Swollen and bored in very mild pain... 300cc on each cheek which makes me wonder if I will look smaller on the butt area but also happy most of that crap is out of my body... Photos to follow soon..

How did they remove the stuff? It didn't move from the butt area?

He liposuctioned and as far as it moving my general doc had me get full body MRI and I was one of the very few lucky ones that didn't have it all over the place... I can tell you that since it was injected my butt began looking bigger but also dimpled.
