Hello nana30, Thanks for your questions! Foreign materials and filler injections included but not limited to Silicone, Biogel, Hydrogel, Biopolymer, PMMA, and Aqua gel are not-FDA approved for body contouring and are extremely harmful to the human body. The physical complications occurring from these injections include granulomas, lumps, bumps, itching, burning, skin discoloration, joint pain, tingling of the nerves, nerve damage, muscle damage, numbness, pulmonary edema, and possible loss of limb and/or life. It is important that patients who have had silicone and/or other non-FDA approved filler injections for body contouring (even without any manifestation of adverse effects) consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to be evaluated and discuss their particular condition and potential risks for complications. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan may be necessary to determine the location of the injected material. The treatment varies from patient to patient, since no two cases are exactly the same. This may range from surgical excision, to hyaluronidase injection followed by VASER Liposuction and fat transfer into the area to correct the resultant deformity. With appreciation, Dr. De La Cruz.
Thank you for your question and photo. It is very difficult to remove this substanceas it is now commingled with your tissue. The normal tissue would have to be removed along with the foreignsubstances. Please be sure to beevaluated by an expert.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
Polymethyl methacrylate in microspheres has been used in Europe but not for buttock enhancement (Too expensive for large areas).Hydrogel is not approved and illegally used for buttock enhancement. The only way to try to remove is to see where the bulk of it is found and remove that area. Need MRI to determine where the material is. One can remove most of the injected material or at least that part that is causing major problems.This will leave a dent or deformity that will need to be repaired at a later stage.
PMMA injections are unfortunately not reversible. This ceramic glassy material has never been approved for this purpose and the practice is illegal. While butt implants can be removed since they are located in a discrete pocket, fat and other fillers are injected in threads throughout the buttock. That makes removing it impossible without mutilating the buttocks. Unfortunately when and if fillets such as PMMA, latex, or Silicone caulking, which are all used illegally for this purpose, do become infected, the only way to reverse the infection is to go after this infected material. In effect saving one's life now requires the mutilation of their buttocks which was the reason they had the injections in the first place.
Thank you for your question. There is no magical drink that will make your buttocks larger. Foods and drinks high in calories will cause your overall body fat to increase, but you cannot pick and choose where you want the fat to be placed. Instead, you should consider a...
Did you have a buttock injection with fat or another substance? I definitely agree that you should have this investigated, and the emergency room/urgent care is not likely the best place to have this done, as they are accustomed to dealing with more acute issues. You should see your primary care...
Thank you for your question. Butt injections are not FDA approved. Any practitioners offering butt injections in the US are doing so outside of the standard of care. It is a not a risk that one should take. Rather, considering seeing a board certified plastic surgeon to have a Brazilian butt...
