I have lumps around my nose and lips from silicone injections. Is there no way to correct that? It is very obvious and irritating.
Answer: Silicone bumps are treatable. If you're not comfortable returning to the doctor that treated you, then you must find a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon experienced in the proper micro-droplet application of Silikon-1000. Look to see many attractive before and after photos of patients with Silikon-1000 before choosing your doctor.

Answer: Chronic, persistent, and progressive Liquid silicone injections can initially work very well. But danger lurks down the road as hard lumps may form that cause redness, deformity, and possible skin breakdown. Depending on who did the injections and where the material came form, it is also common for what might have been claimed to be "medical grade" silicone to have impurities or not even be liquid silicone at all. Removal of these lumps is very difficult and can leave scars and contour irregularities. I would get yourself to a board-certified plastic surgeon to be examined.

Answer: Visit your surgeon Lumps from silicone injections may be due to several factors. At times, you may have a local reaction to the material which may respond to steroid injections. Other times, removal of the obvious spots may be undertaken though this can be very difficult. Other times, temporary facial fillers can be used to camoflauge the silicone and create a smooth appearance to the area. As always, to determine the best course of action, visit the surgeon who performed the injections.

Answer: Permanent fillers are best avoided The use of a permanent filler has been around since the 1960's and there are problems with them. While it is tempting to use something to try and avoid repeated absorbable injections, the permanent fillers are really not safe enough in my opinion. Removal of the material generally requires surgery and scars. Other problems that are associated with permanent fillers include chronic draining infections and granulomas. These are very hard to treat until the material is gone.
