Dr. Eppley Pls Read. U Answered a Previous Question of Mine. Looking to Follow Up. Im not sure If dr eppley will come back but from reading your website I made the assumption that it wasn't a problem for me to have this done based on what you said. See the comment below for the excerpt in its entirety. Q: I would like to know if Dr. Eppley has any experience in removing free silicone oil from the butt? I had silicone injections in my butt and would like it removed and replaced with my own fat. See excerpt from your site below in comments area.

Answer: Removal of Silicone Injections Depending on the type of silicone, amount and location of placement in the buttock region, the degree of difficulty of removal can vary. Injection of a permanent substance in the body is often not advisable because reversal is so challenging. Complete removal would require making large incisions and excising the material. This would cause significant scarring and potential disfigurement. A CT scan, in person physical examination and thorough history will be required to address your concerns. This question cannot be addressed on an online forurm. Best wishes.

Answer: Fat Injections Into Silicone Oil Injected Buttocks
Silicone oil injections that are dispersed throughout the buttock can not be removed with significant mutilation of the buttocks. In performing some lower buttocks lifts, I have removed partial amounts of silicone oil but that is coincidental and not a direct intent of the procedure. Since silicone oil can not be removed (unless it is sitting in a large single pocket in the buttocks) the more relevant question is whether fat injections should be done into and amidst a buttock where silicone oil resides. I would think that would be reasonable although the risk of infection and fat resorption may be higher.
