Hi Kesheree, thank you for your question regarding whether there are any Medicare doctors who help patients to remove silicone from their buttock. The answer is "yes, there are many plastic surgeons remove silicone buttock removal for patients with Medicare". I would suggest you contact your local hospital which takes Medicare patients. Look for county or general hospitals. In your neighborhood, I would contact perhaps Duke University Medical Center or University of North Carolina Medical Center. Make an appointment and get a referral to a plastic surgeon. Usually, silicone buttock removal is a medically necessary procedure and should be covered under Medicare if the foreign body is causing localized pain, radiating pain, and possibly, even skin changes. I hope that I have answered your questions removing silicone from the buttock. Before you make any decisions regarding silicone removal from the buttock, I would suggest you seek consultation with an expert. Please seek an experienced, board-certified, plastic surgeon. Travel out of state if you must to find such a silicone removal expert. If you have any more questions regarding silicone removal from the buttock, intra-operative ultra-sound guided VASER assisted liposuction or plastic surgery in general, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen.
