How to Remove Silicone Filler?

December 28, 2008
Asked By:Cola in New York

I recently had silicone as a filler added to an area of my nose. However, the second time, the doctor added too much and now the tip of my nose and side is enlarged/deformed. I need some advice as to how to remove this excess silicone (procedure, product or other injectable?). Is there a time period for doing this before the silicone harden and take a permanent form?
