Hello, thank you for your question regarding whether it is possible to remove silicone which had been injected into your lower leg or calf. A thorough physical examination is necessary. You may also require an MRI to localize the silicone. However, based only on the single picture and without a physical examination, I would suggest intra-operative, ultrasound guided, VASER liposuction to remove the silicone in your calfs. It should be mentioned that this is not an easy procedure to perform. Most plastic surgeons do not perform this procedure and do not have the necessary equipment to remove the silicone with liposuction alone. I would suggest you seek a specialist. Since there are few specialists in this field, I would travel out of state to find such a specialist. I consider myself a specialist in this field. I hope that I have answered your questions removing silicone from the lower leg or calf. Before you make any decisions regarding silicone removal from the lower leg or calf, I would suggest you seek consultation with an expert. Please seek an experienced, board-certified, plastic surgeon. If you have any more questions regarding silicone removal from the lower leg or calf, intra-operative ultra-sound guided VASER assisted liposuction for silicone removal, open technique for silicone removal or plastic surgery in general, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen.
