I am considering getting silikon 1000 in my nose for the supraalar pinching. What are the chances of having a reaction years later? I have read people having rashes or their faces swelling up/blowing up years later, but not sure if they're referring to medical or industrial silicone. For ex: Carol Bryan. The info out there is confusing. Also what are the chances of a revision rhinoplasty going bad? Which has a higher chance of coming out badly? Traditional revision rhinoplasty or silikon 1000?
Answer: Removal of silicone droplets from soft tissue Silicone biopolymers can cause severe longterm complications including inflammation and nodule formulation. Although results are longer-lasting that Juvederm or Restylane, long-acting fillers should be avoided. Bellafill, Artefill, and PMMA are known to cause granulomas and permanent nodules with swelling. This is not the case for everyone. Silicone biopolymers can also cause similar chronic inflammatory conditions. In my practice, I specialize in the removal of Bellafill and Artefill injections, in addition to silicone biopolymers, from the face and body. Initially, treatments are non-surgical with corticosteroids and immune modulators. If unable to be corrected, we can also perform surgery in some cases. Silicone biopolymers can also be removed from the body if there are signs of migration or inflammation. All of these filler-types should be removed as early as possible. Lastly, our office is conducting ongoing studies of plasma-assisted corticosteroid application, which allows for diffusion of the treatment medication in superficial tissue without causing atrophy.

Answer: What are the chances of having a reaction to silikon 1000 years later? Microdroplet Silikon1000 nasal injections have few problems if used properly - especially in the nose. Liquid injectable silicone injections for permanent nonsurgical rhinoplastic treatments have over a 50 year track record of safety, precision and permanence. Thank you. Dr Joseph

Answer: Reaction to Silikon 1000 There are multiple reports online of people having late reactions to liquid injectable silicone leading some doctors to question its safety. I can only say that I have used MEDICAL GRADE LIS (I only use Silikon 1000) for the last ten years and have found it to be an ideal dermal filler. I have treated hundreds of patients and have never seen this problem. Furthermore, I trained with a learned, conscientious cosmetic physician who used the product for over forty years and also never saw a problem. I use minute quantities of medically pure product. According to RealSelf, 78% of patients feel that Silikon 1000 is "Worth it"), this is confirmed by my own experience, and I do have patients come to me for this permanent treatment from significant distances.

Answer: Silicone 1000 can have terrible reactions Regards, Liquid silicone is unsafe, please do not use it ever. The autoimmune response could be triggered by this substance, if you look around on the Internet, you will find patients that have a lot of problems with this product. The use for lips and other areas is off label. The inical medical use was only for retine problems. Silicone 1000 or any type of silicone injections are very dangerous for your body. It doesn´t matter if it is dense or less dense, if it has more weight or less molecular weight, if you recognized the brand or not, the problem is that the immune system reacts against them and produces inflammations and degeneration of the tissues, then the recommendation is not to inject it never. If you search in the Internet you will find positive comments, but also search negative comments from people who had complications with this product, because the reactions can ocur 60 years after its application. If you want to improve your features, you have to use safe substances that are resorbable like hyaluronic acid; there are brands like Juvederm and Restylane that are safe. But I definitely recommend you the rhinoplasty revision instead of silicone injections. Please remember to be aware, do not let any permanenrt filler to be injected into your face, breast, buttocks, calfs, genitalia, etc. The safest way to increase buttocks is through your own fat injections or through silicone implants. I hope the information was usefull, have a nice day! Dr Carlos Alberto Ríos.
