I had what was supposed to be "medical grade" silicone butt injections 13 yrs ago. I have had cellulitis several times on my lower back which is extremely painful and debilitating.The silicone literally moves around my lower back as if it were alive.It feels as if i have a belly on my lower back.I have an MRI scheduled for next week. What are the usual results after the removal from my lower back and buttocks?This is the worst decision I've ever made in my life

Answer: Silicone injections Silicone injections to the buttocks and other parts of the body for the sake of enlargement is illegal not approved by FDA or any medical society. The long term result is intense reaction to the foreign body and the formation of siliconomas, hard lumps, and migration of the silicone.All these injections are not medical grade and not sterile, lead to chronic recurrent infections.Surgery can not remove all the silicone and will get infected with any attempt to remove by any means.One can attempt removal of the large painful lumps of siliconomas. This will leave multiple scars and major deformities. Removal from the buttocks require removal of the silicone and fat down to the muscle and skin when involved. Eventually silicone will migrate to lymph nodes resulting in chronic swelling and disabling problems for life.

Answer: SILICONE INJECTIONS Silicone injections are not an FDA approved procedure. This is an unsafe procedure and not recommended. What you are experiencing is the reason one should avoid this approach. Silicone removal is a difficult and challenging procedure. The MRI will localize the silicone allowing for extraction. Removal of the silicone will probably create some irregularities and dimpling. Unfortunately you have no choice. Good luck.
