Around 2005 i had injections done in my buttocks and then again in 2006. Sad to say on both occasions it was not administered from a doctor. I'm unsure of what the substance really is. Since then My buttocks have formed discoloration and lumps. My left buttock has dropped tremendously so now i"m distorted. Is there something that i can do to fix this? I know i've made a terrible decision I'm really afraid.
Answer: Silicone nodules in the buttocks Silicone injections and silicone nodules in the buttocks can be treated effectively using conservative measures in the primary stage of treatment and surgical measures in the secondary and plateau phases of silicone treatment. I characterize these three phases as such: Karamanoukian protocol for silicone injection treatment: Primary Phase - Conservative: Reduction of Inflammatory and Infectious Component of Silicone Injections Secondary Phase- Maintenance of Inflammatory Component of Silicone Injections Plateau Phase - Surgical Measures to Reduce Deformity I routinely treat patients from Asia and South America with a similar problem. In your particular case, I would address the inflammatory component of your injections for at least six months and then transition to a corrective modality to remove th silicone nodularity.

Answer: Consult with a doctor There is no real way to provide you specific advice without first figuring out what material was injected. It would be best for you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon who can give you the advice and treatment you need.

Answer: Is it possible to remove injectable butt augmentation substance Thank you for your question and photograph, and I am sorry to hear about your butt injection issues. Unfortunately there is no way to reverse or dissolve the mysterious substance placed within the tissue of your buttocks. Surgery to remove the tissue would not only leave you with extensive scars, but likely a permanent deformity. Assuming you are not having a health issue from the injections, best to leave them alone.

Answer: Is It Possible to Remove Injectable Butt Augmentation Substance? This is a very serious problem. I do not know of an effective way of removing the substrate injected. I assume it is free silicone, but we obviously do not know. Conservative measures and surgical excision of nodules only as needed. Good luck and be safe.John T.

Answer: Remove Injectable Butt Augmentation Substance?
Unfortunately, at this stage of the game it may be best to leave it alone unless you encounter a more serious problem such as painful hardening and/or infection otherwise removal of the material can only be done by way of excision which can greatly deform the buttocks and leave large scars. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon for a direct exam and recommendation(s). Good luck...RAS

Answer: Silicone Injections into the butt Silicone, or other material that is injected into a butt (breasts, or other body area), is unsafe and not performed by any normal doctor that I am aware off. There are many complications arising from injectable substances such as Silicone. The biggest problem, however, is getting it out once it becomes a problem. It cannot be liposuctioned out. If removal is required, it is done by cutting out all the tissues where the silicone has spread. This will leave a very visible defect.
