Doctors I have a few questions. They say if you put this in your body it can get in our blood stream and infect your kidney and lungs. How? How has it not got in there as soon as it’s injected? Why is my butt so warm? Been like this for 10 years. Have no complications other then my immune system has weakened.
Answer: Illegal Butt Injections and Health Thank you for your question regarding why your butt is so warm after illegal silicone injections. I believe your buttock is so warm because your mast cells are secreting histamine, which causes an inflammatory response and heat. Basically, your body is trying to create scar tissue around the foreign body, in this case, silicone. After your body forms scar tissue, your body tries to break down or reject the silicone. Your body tries to eject the silicone through the skin. As your body makes a path or tunnel to the skin in order to eject the silicone, the skin becomes discolored. As your body breaks down the silicone into micro spheres, it is possible for the silicone to get into your bloodstream. It is extremely rare for it to get in your bloodstream then get into your lungs and kidneys. My suggestion would be to have this silicone removed as soon as possible. Since it is causing your problems, specifically a hot butt, as well as immune system complications, get this stuff out! A weak immune system is a major complication. Inevitably, this will lead to more severe problems. Get this fixed as soon as you can. Before you make any decisions regarding an unknown substance removal, 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 an unknown substance removal expert. If you have any more questions regarding unknown substance removal, or plastic surgery in general, please contact my office. Sincerely,Dr. Katzen (Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and member of the American Society Plastic Surgeons, International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery,and Fellow of American College of Surgeons and American Board for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery)

Answer: Illegal butt injections. Why is my but so warm? It has been like this for 10 years Now you realize why these injections are illegal! They are unpredictable in time effect. So now sounds like you are having infectious process. Recommend immediate MRI to look for abscess cavity/ies formation, seek IV antibiotics, find an MD to render care. This is like an iceberg effect and expectant care is needed. Good Luck.
