Answer: Silicone Injection Removal and Reconstruction Hi Linda7891! You’re absolutely right to be cautious, especially after already going through a tough experience. What you’re describing—pain, darkening skin, and deformity—is a clear sign that your body is reacting to the silicone, and it does need to come out. The good news is that there are safe and effective ways to do this here in the U.S., and your goal of having the silicone removed and a BBL afterward is absolutely realistic—with the right surgeon and right plan. I am a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a specialized focus on silicone and biopolymer removal. Over the years, I have dedicated my practice to safely addressing complications arising from these materials. Recognizing the unique challenges they pose, I developed a two-stage surgical excision process along with a third stage of reconstruction (referred to as a "reconstructive BBL"). This approach is designed to ensure the most complete removal possible while minimizing risks and optimizing patient outcomes. Please give us a call to schedule a complimentary virtual or in person consultation (516) 279-2616. My silicone coordinator will initiate and walk you through the entire process. She has had silicone removal and reconstruction and would be happy to share her silicone journey and help you along the way with yours. Best of luck with your silicone removal journey!

Answer: Silicone butt injection silicone injection removal expert silicone removal specialist illegal silicone butt BBL Hi, thank you your question regarding the removal of silicone from the buttock. First, you need to have the silicone removed from your buttocks ASAP before these injections start causing you problems. After you have completely healed (around 4 moths) you can have a BBL. You should not have your BBL at the same time as the removal of your buttock silicone. I specialized in silicone buttock removal and subsequent buttock reconstruction. I am the Director and chief clinical investigator at the Institute of Silicone Removal. Since removing silicone from the buttock is a big procedure, please seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience in removing silicone from the buttock. Do your research. Make sure they have performed many buttock silicone removal surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. If you cannot find an experienced, buttock silicone removal surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state if you must. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen. (“Verified” Plastic Surgeon, President of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons, Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Fellow of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American College of Surgery, and International College of Surgery and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and RealSelf Hall of Fame.)
