Could I remove silicone butt injections and get reconstructive surgery at the same time? I see some Doctors stating they lipo suctioned the silicone out and some says it makes it spread and should never be lipo out; which is true and explain.
Answer: Staged Removal of Silicone/Biopolymer Injections and Reconstruction Hi and thank you for your question! I have performed many silicone/biopolymer removals at my private plastic surgery practice and have found that the best way to remove silicone/biopolymer materials is through a staged excision. I perform this technique to meticulously excise any (and only) problematic material including silicone/biopolymer product, compromised surrounding soft tissues (necrotic tissue) and foreign body granulomas. All of which cannot successfully be removed with a liposuction cannula. The overall goal is to surgically excise as much silicone/biopolymer materials within safe limits to help restore normal function and health to the patient in need. The final stage would be a reconstructive BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift). The reconstructive BBL is performed to provide additional cushioning/padding to the areas that may have been thinned out during the excision procedure(s). In addition, the BBL can address contour irregularities from prior silicone/biopolymer injections and/or their removal. I usually recommend that patients undergo this reconstructive component at least 3 months after the silicone removal procedure to ensure that you have recovered sufficiently from the removal. I hope this helps!

Answer: Removal of Silicone from the face and body is possible Silicone biopolymers are being used throughout the world for facial and body volume augmentation. Results are longer-lasting that Juvederm or Restylane.

Answer: Si Hi Cheerful8557, Thank you very much for your question regarding removing silicone from your buttocks. Silicone can be removed from the buttock either by intra-operative Ultrasound Guided Vaser Assisted Silicone Suction, or direct excision. Liposuction alone can not remove silicone from the buttock.

Answer: Should I remove my silicone butt injections if I am not having any problems? I am having to do more and more of these debulking procedures before patients can have a BBL. The type of removal depends on the type of substance, the amount of surface area involved, and the patient desires. The material is removed in the first stage. It is rare that over 50% of the material can be removed. Because the material is typically laden with bacteria means that you run the risk of injection and recurrence of granulomas. A period of 3 months or so is observed. Reconstructive surgery can be performed later to improve the appearance. To help allay fears and eliminate worries of patients who made the previous poor decision to have these substances injected, I recommend that they consult with a board certified PS who has experience in removing silicone.

Answer: Silicone buttock injections There are risks associated with any treatments. Regardless of what method is chosen for removal most surgeons who perform this procedure would probably delay placing fat in the form of a BBL for reconstruction until your tissue has healed. This will minimize the risk of infection, improve graft take and allow for a better overall result.
