Hydrogel injected in buttocks. Need removed!!
Removal of silicone is possible if the product has pooled into discrete collections. All of the injected product may not be removable; the silicone becomes surrounded by scar tissue which requires excision of the surrounding tissues as well. Unless the patient sees the bottle or syringe marked with its contents we are not sure what is utilized by less than reputable injectors. Deformities resulting after removal of injected products typically require repeat procedures to correct.Antibiotics may help acute symptoms of infection. Sonogram or MRI are helpful to identify the location and sizeof the injected product.Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
