Removing Silicone Injections on Butt?

Hello, I am sorry you had silicone injected into your buttock and that now you are having problems. Also, I am sorry that you now have buttock granulomas. Unfortunately, silicone is permanent and will not dissolve or disappear with steroids or antibiotics. Your buttock silicone needs to be surgically removed. I would highly suggest you have your buttock silicone, granulomas, and associated scar tissue removed as soon as possible. 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 your chosen plastic surgeon has performed many buttock silicone removal surgeries and has 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.

Our office specializes in the removal and reconstruction of
soft tissue related to the injection of liquid silicone. We have removed
silicone from the face and body with outstanding success.  This allows patients to resume their normal
lives without the interference of the silicone inflammation.  During your consultation, a careful
examination of the soft tissue is required to determine whether the removal is
safe.  Not all patients are candidates
for surgical removal.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to remove free silicone injections into any tissue. It is most likely in multiple layers an difficult to remove without leaving alot of scarring and depressions.
