Question

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FACS · Answer

Although you're looking for a surgeon in Texas, it's important to do your research and weigh out your options. About 90% of my patients are either from out of state or out of country and travel to get the best and safest results. Biopolymer removal (also known as silicone injections) is a big, invasive procedure. It's important to choose a surgeon who has years of experience, before and after pictures, and someone that you trust. I've been performing this surgery for about 20 years now with thousands of patients. Please contact my office to schedule a free consult and we will try to get you all fixed up. I wish you the best of luck!
The FDA warns AGAINST silicone injections on their website.  The FDA states “Do not get injectable silicone or any type of filler material for large-scale body contouring or enhancement.” Also, the FDA has said, "Injectable silicone is permanent, with side effects that can occur right after the injection and up to years after treatment. Silicone spreads and migrates easily inside the body, which may worsen adverse events and make surgical attempts to remove the silicone oil more difficult or impossible. Silicone, when injected into areas with many blood vessels such as the buttocks, can travel to other parts of the body and block blood vessels in the lungs, heart, or brain. This can result in permanent damage to those tissues and lead to stroke or death."

There are a number of excellent surgeons in the area. Dr. Clayton Moliver, Dr. Paul Gill, Dr. Chris Patronella are 3 options. Consult with 3 board certified plastic surgeons in your area, and choose the one that best meets your needs/objectives.
