Can Anything Reduce Chronic Inflammation Due to Facial Silicone Injections?

Question

I have had microdroplet silicone injections in my cheeks to fill depressed and sunken areas on my cheek. As a result the silicone had caused a chronic inflammation over and around the treated area. I would like to know if there is a product or treatment to reduce or get rid of this inflammatory side effect?

My office specializes in silicone complications on the face and lips. There are some options to improve your condition, some surgical and some related to immune modulation.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

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 Biopolymers cause a severe inflammatory reaction that can cause permanent damage to the tissues, known as Iatrogenic Allogenosis and an Autoimmune Syndrome (A.S.I.A. Syndrome). The risk of having autoimmune diseases and deformities in your face due to tissue damage is very high, then the use of any substance that is permanent is not advised. So, the silicone has to be removed to decrease your inflammatory response, the granomalutose response from the organism. Some anti-inflammatory, steroids, or chemotherapy drugs may be useful in some cases.
In my medical center I developed the technique of resection of biopolymers in face, lips, buttocks and lower back through video endoscopy, a surgery performed with minnimal incissions to treat patients with permanent deformities, secundary to biopolymers injections.
Please remember to be aware, do not let any permanenrt filler to be injected into your face, breast, buttocks, calfs, genitalia, etc. 
I hope the information was usefull, have a nice day! Dr Carlos Alberto Ríos.
You will need to do a resonance and endoscopic surgery.

There is always something that can be done about inflammation. Intralesional cortisone injections, oral medicines for inflammation and sometimes even incision and drainage all have a place in the treatment of this condition.
