I had botched silicone injections in my face some time ago. I learned my lesson, but I am now curious if I can use other fillers. Is it OK to inject another filler into where the silicone was placed?
Answer: Dermal fillers after silicone injections Regards, Liquid silicone is unsafe, please do not use it ever. The autoimmune response could be triggered by this substance, if you look around on the Internet, you will find patients that have a lot of problems with this product. The use for lips and other areas is off label. The biopolymer or liquid silicone has to be removed first, it is obligatory to solve the inflammatory problem. So after a reasonable time, between six to eight months, you can use hyaluronic acid from a trusted brand, like Juvederm. Please remember to be aware, do not let any permanenrt filler to be injected into your face, breast, buttocks, calfs, genitalia, etc. The safest way to increase buttocks is through your own fat injections or through silicone implants. I hope the information was usefull, have a nice day! Dr Carlos Rios.

Answer: Should be OK Silicone is not a product that is endorsed by the ASPS because of problems with the product in the past. Supposedly the newer material is safer but I have not seen any recent studies. In terms of other fillers, it should not be a problem to inject other fillers to improve contour deformities.
