Hello, I am sorry you had silicone injected into your buttock and that now you are having butt skin pigmentation problems.  There are several ways to improve the pigmented buttock skin after illegal silicone buttock injections.  There are special creams skin bleaching creams, which can be prescribed (4% or higher hydroquinone, glycol, Kojie etc.).  There are also several lasers which can be used.   Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Inflammation can damage the soft tissue and skin in the buttocks after silicone injections. Our office uses a depigmentation protocol to help reduce the PIH. In terms of inflammation, the silicone needs to be removed. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
