Our patient is a 28-year-old White male who came to Dr. Timothy Katzen with buttock discomfort and pain after silicone injections performed by another surgeon. Because free silicone can migrate, trigger inflammation, and create firm pockets, Dr. Katzen recommended a closed silicone injection removal using an ultrasound-guided, VASER-assisted method, a silicone removal technique designed to break up and evacuate silicone through small access points rather than large open incisions when the distribution is appropriate. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen first assessed the affected regions to plan the safest and most effective site for removal. He then created tiny, strategically placed openings and used VASER ultrasound energy to gently emulsify the silicone and reactive fluid, helping separate unwanted material from healthier tissue. A specialized cannula was used to suction out the loosened silicone in a controlled, step-by-step pattern, reducing the risk of unevenness. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Katzen focuses on protecting the skin, avoiding over-aggressive removal, and maintaining smooth contours. Post-operative care includes compression and walking to promote circulation, with follow-up to monitor swelling. These photos were taken one week after surgery. While firmness is still expected at this stage, he already looks remarkably improved and reported feeling relieved from most of his pain as healing continues and inflammation settles.
