Blue and purple spider veins on buttocks after PMMA injections.

Question

I'm guessing since pregnant women can sometimes get spider veins on buttocks if pressure is exerted on buttocks from extra weight that pressure was exerted from extra volume of major buttock swelling after the procedure. If correct, then would injections to remove spider veins work?

Hello, thank you for your questions regarding removing PMA from your buttocks.   From your description, it appears that you were having skin changes due to the PMMA which previously been injected into your buttocks. Is my belief that the skin changes associated with PMMA are due to the PMMA trying to be ejected from your body. The skin changes are an effort to expel the PMMA. I would suggest you have the PMMA removed. I specialize in PMMA and silicone removal for the buttock. There a variety of techniques which can be used to remove the PMMA from the buttocks.   Surgical techniques include suction and surgical excision of the buttock PMMA. I hope this answers your questions. Get this PMA removed as soon as possible. Please see a specialist. Travel out of state if you cannot find a local specialist. If you have any more questions regarding PMMA removal, please call my office. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen. (“verified plastic surgeon”, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and RealSelf Hall of Fame.)
