Silicone Granulomas : Options to treat lumps / overcorrection from medical grade Silikon 1000 microdroplets for acne scars?

January 5, 2015
Asked By:anon12334

I've had silicone microdroplets injected to elevate acne scars and unfortunately have been faced with overcorrection in some spots, resulting in visible lumps. I've had some mixed results with kenalog injections, but the bumps always return after a couple of months. Can dermabrasion or ablating with a C02 laser flatten these bumps? Or would I be better off getting injections of kenalog / 5-FU indefinitely every few months?
