Answer: Removal of PMMA from buttocks Because removing injectables like PMMA and silicone is difficult (to completely remove all of it) and deforming (leaving unsightly scars and depressions/dents), it is typically recommended to wait until the patient is experiencing constant moderate to severe pain in a specific area and/or an infection arises. Glad to help.

Answer: Buttock Injections Silicone Injections and Hydrogell Injections.Samir Shureih MD. FACS.Baltimore, Maryland.Buttock enlargement is becoming a very popular cosmetic surgery procedure. There are several well established surgical procedures that can safely accomplish that. These include the Brazilian Buttock lift, Dermis Fat graft, and Buttock Implants.Some people have taken advantage of this trend and use illegal, unsafe injections of non medical grade Silicone, silicone oil and gel, Hydrogell, polyacrylamide, Macrolane and many other unusual substances.Silicone injection to the buttocks and other areas in the body are common underground illegal procedures. The silicone used is industrial grade silicone oil bought from hardware store or silicone oil used as a lubricant. This type of silicone is not pure and contains many other substances. It is not a Medical Grade Silicone, if medical grade silicone was to be used for buttock enhancement; it will be very expensive and still not medically approved. The body reacts to the foreign material by forming chronic inflammatory reactions called SILICONE GRANULOMAS; these granulomas can be felt as hard lumps, sometimes very painful. When injected near vital structures like nerves. The granulomas entrap the nerve and cause pain, burning sensations, swelling, migration, blockage of the lymphatic channels and skin color changes. The foreign injected material can not be removed completelt. Granulomas can be removed in most cases but one can not remove the entire injected material. Surgical removal will leave a deformity that will have to be repaired at a later stage.
