Persistent swelling, no improvement 4 weeks after removal of silicone granuloma due to silicone migration - normal? (Photo)

Asked By:Nelly2017 in Boca Raton, FL

20 years ago I had silicone injections; over the last years it migrated below my lip, creating two small soft lumps. I had a reduction surgery to also remove the lumps in 2013, but they reappeared immediately. Second lip reduction surgery 4 weeks ago. Although most swelling on the lip has subsided, there is this huge hard bump below the lip where the granuloma was removed. The doctor says the lymphatic system was blocked from the silicone. Why there is not the slightest improvement? Please help!
