Butt injections removal

WORTH IT
Hello All,
I had my first consultation regarding removal of PMMA butt injections. I met with Dr.Ryan Stanton, he was very thorough. Since I am experiencing an out break of red blemishes, he prescribed "Singular" for 30 days to see if this will cure the rejection before taking removal action. He mentioned we must try to do anything possible to cure the reaction before going the removal route as that will cause "extreme" dis-formation in my buttocks. Also, I must wait one whole year before I can get butt implants to allow my scar tissue to build back up. That is a long time to have a deformed butt. ;( This is a very unfortunate situation, I hope the Singular works as I do not wish to go the removal route if I don't have to. If you are considering getting injections...DON'T DO IT! It's not worth it! I will keep you posted after my 30 day follow up with him. Pray for me :(

Please keep us posted and thank you for sharing your story. You look really nice but our health is the most important thing. Sharing your experience will help other girls considering injections. I hope the medication works!!

Thank you for your feedback. I wanted to share my experience because as I was researching, I couldn't really find anyone sharing their experience of going through the removal process. Hopefully, my experience will help others out there like me. This is an very unfortunate situation and I wish I could take it back. but, what's done is done. I hope the medication works too.

Not to sound ignorant but when you say butt injection, do you mean the implants put in or you are talking about some type of real injections?

I had PMMA injections done to my butt. This is sterilized fat that I found out later is not FDA approved. I am now starting to get a red rash on each cheek. Now seeking for removal and then later replaced (once healed) with butt implants to correct the de-formation from the removal. I hope this helps!

Is PMMA injections the same as a brazilian butt lift?
User Avatar
October 27, 2015
No, those are two different things. I'm not a Doctor so I wouldn't know how to explain. But, the PMMA injections are something similar to silicone butt injections. Not FDA approved and I would NOT recommend. Brazilian butt lift is much safer.
October 28, 2015
if you haven’t already heard — pmma butt injections are dangerous and banned by the US FDA.

Yes, I've already mentioned that a few times.
October 28, 2015
ok, good to know. I hope you are better now.
November 1, 2015
Hope you're doing better. I had mine removed in Florida and Doctor Stanton will be doing my implants by next spring.

Oh really? You're the first person I heard from who had the removal.Do you have pics of what your butt looks like after the removal? The medication doesn't seem to be making a difference. I think I will have to go the removal route unfortunately. Any help would be greatly appropriated. Thank you.
December 31, 2015
I also have the same question...who did the removal? And would you be willing to send pics or chat with me regarding the results? I have awful lumps

Hey, where did you get your pmma shots? I got mine in Colombia in a medical facility not that long ago via micro cannula but have no problems, yet. There's a few good Drs I can reccomwnds in Colombia for pmma removal and will be much cheaper then in the US xx
June 4, 2016
Please share info with me. I went to dr Rios 3 months ago and unfortunately I am now very deformed with an ass and hips still full of "pmma" :(

Who did you go to in the first place to get it done

June 30, 2016
Hi Hun, I actually went to a medical facility here in Los Angeles for my PMMA INJECTIONS. I don't have any health issues just the break outs, the doc stated that my body is rejecting the material. This stuff is not supposed to be in our body, so if one is not having complications now eventually they will. One girl had hers for 15 years and then all of a sudden it hit her hard. The material moved to her back and legs and she couldn't walk for 2 years until she finally found a doctor that would take her case. I wish you the best of luck with yours. This is so unfortunate, I wish I would of never done this to my body.
User Avatar
June 30, 2016
Hi Hun, the only way the doc can get 90+ % of the material out is to make an incision across your lower back/ top of your butt and cut it out that way. Any other way, will not removal most of the product. You will be left with a ugly scar but there are lasers treatments that can help with the appearance of that. Good luck.
June 30, 2016
Wow now I'm getting worried! How many ccs did you get or rounds? I've only had one round & 250cc injected per cheek that's crazy :/ I know girls who go back for like 3 rounds apparently it makes your muscle grow over time
User Avatar
June 30, 2016
I only went once and I did the same as you. 500cc, 250 cc in each cheek. The good thing is my butt is small, I did very mild injections so I am hoping for a good out come.
August 11, 2016
Hi hon hope your doing ok. Just another question sorry.. But how long after your injections did you start getting problems? I'm considering having mine removed
User Avatar
August 11, 2016
After a year, I started having the breakouts. Are you having any complications?

I just want to know where did u get your injection I want to get some
November 13, 2018
Hi Jen! I am seeking for a dr. I know it’s been almost 2 years since this post. I am in the middle of Dr. Mir and Dr. Gallerani. I have my injections done in my butt muscle. I haven met anyone who has had the injections in their muscle. Please if you Now someone let me know, I am desperate. I am from Miami. I have Dr. Gallerani 1 hr away. I am also thinking on go and see Dr. Mir. Thank your for sharing your story.
User Avatar
June 30, 2016
I also considered Dr. Gallerani. Each case is different but his price is 14k-20k plus the cost of the hospital stay. Also the consultation is $350 and yes he will have to see u in person.
June 30, 2016
Dr G. is great but I also like Dr Mir technique plus it goes through the insurance and you can stay longer in the hospital. The only down side is that If he accepts to do the surgery I will have to travel but my health is my priority.
User Avatar
June 30, 2016
Yes, where do you live? With Dr. Mir you will being the hospital for 8 days and he performs 2 surgeries. 1st the extraction, then two days later the butt lift.

What is the difference betweens Doctor's MIR technique and Galleranis.?

I absolutely will not promote getting butt injections. So I would whether not say the name of the Doctor who injected me. I hope you understand. Xoxo
August 10, 2016
I agree- all the injections and implants for breast or bottoms are very dangerous risk sometimes show up years latter- just reading all breast explant said stories proved I wasn't alone and the. I read this story - it's so sad and makes me so very Angery what is not told to us women prior to choices we make. Uninformed choices that are not our fault if we are lied to by omission. My lab report came back today and proved the implants for breast were causing my auto immune diseases to attack. Chroinc imflamtion of both breast. I'm not alone I'm one of very many. Just like your story! I hope you are feeling better??? Bunch hugs for you!!!!

August 10, 2016
Thank you for agreeing! It's amazing how many girls are still seeking getting butt injections even after all of these horror stories here on realself! I wish I had this site available for me before I made the worse mistake of my life! I sent this girl a private message as she was in fact seeking getting the injections done for her Bday. I hope I touched her heart with sharing my experience and changed her mind.

I hope you're feeling better after surgery. Well wishes hun! Xoxo
August 10, 2016
You are so right Jenn. Many girls are still getting the injections. I see it everwhere, I wish I would have known back then before I made the worst mistake of my life. It's great that you did that.

August 10, 2016
Yeah, when I see girls out that that had butt injections done ( in LA there is alot of girls) I feel so bad cause I know eventually what they will have to go through. It's so sad! ; (
August 10, 2016
Tell me about Jen. I live in Miami so you can imagine. I know many girls that have done the same. The ones I have seen don't have discoloration but maybe with the years they could develop other issues. It's sad that many lives have been destroyed by unscrupulous people. I have been very depressed about my issue, specially because I can't do anything right now.

August 10, 2016
It's okay. Don't be depressed. Your time will come and you will get it fixed. Then, you can put it all pasted you. The good thing is that you now have a plan. ;)
August 10, 2016
Thank you Jen. You are right, I just hope I can wait physically speaking and it doesn't get worse, also I don't know if the discoloration will get better after surgery or if it will stay the same.

Consultation with Dr.Mir

User Avatar
jen.shack
Hello All,
So I went to NY over the weekend and had my consultation with Dr. Mir on 6/3. Omg! He is amazing. All of the great reviews on him are 100% true! He genuinely cares about your health and well being.
He had a patient there that was 3 months post op. He put us in a room so we can both talk and share each others experience. She told me about how bad her health was before she found Dr. Mir. This poor lady couldn't even walk for 2 years. The whole lower half of her body was numb. Now since the surgery she is out walking, exercising and able to tend to her 4 children. God is Good!
Now back to my consultation--everything went well, he said he would take my case because of the breaks out and because I am on prednisone which is a medication I cannot be on long term due to side effects. I did asked where the incision site would be just because I wanted to know and I could tell he got a little upset. He stated I have women that come to me that haven't been able to walk in years and you're concerned about a scar? I had to wheel him back in and tell him that wasn't a major concern to me but I just wanted to know. He stated GOOD because he doesn't need that headache. He mentioned he had a lot of bad experiences where the women would come back complaining about the scar so he just doesn't want to deal with it at all.
My date is set for July 18th. It's bitter sweet for me. I want to get the crap out and move on with my life but I know it's going to be a long process. Dr. Mir has opened a facility here in Los Angles so if there are any women out there that live in California seeking removal let me know. Maybe you can either set up a consultation with him during the week of my surgery or maybe even have your surgery too! Please note you must not be concerned with your looks and more about your health otherwise he will not take your case.

Hi Hun, I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. If you call his office, the can call to verify coverage and let you know if you're cleared. Good luck! ;)
June 10, 2016
I am so happy for you. Please keep us posted. It's been a long road for you and I'm glad you won't have to worry once it is taken care of. It sounds like you have chosen a doctor very carefully. I do want to mention I think asking where scars will be is a very appropriate question. My mom had breast cancer and I was able to be with her at her doctor appointments. She asked several times about scaring etc. It wasn't because it would have mattered in terms of having the surgeries (obviously she had no choice but to have these life saving procedures), but I think she asked just to prepare herself mentally. I think that is a part of good doctor communication. Maybe his headache with past patients is that he wasn't communicating with them before hand what to expect in terms of scaring. At the end of the day your health is the very most important thing. If getting this stuff removed is going to make you healthy, it will all be worth it!

Good luck my dear.. I wanted to ask how many surgeries ur getting and what's ur recovery time how many weeks u should stay in nyc?
User Avatar
July 1, 2016
Hi Hun, Dr .Mir just opened a second practice in Los Angles which is where I live. He will come here to preform the surgery. I believe he has 3 patients that week. This location will only be based on appointments he will not be here full time. I will be in the hospital for 8 days. I will have the 1st surgery of extractions/ removal, then two days later he will do another surgery to remove any excess material plus give me a butt lift to correct as much deformities and remove any extra skin. In 6 months I will do a BBL for reconstructive work.

If you do not live in NY or Los Angeles, you will probably have to be there for 2 weeks or so just to make sure everything is okay.

Recovery time: I will be out of work for about 6 weeks. My friend also had the surgery with Dr. Mir in May. She was only out of work for 5 weeks. Once she was discharged from the hospital she was able to get around on her own at home.

Hope this helps.

Each case is different. I think it depends on how much u have. Dr. Mir works with a partner and the attack each cheek at the same time. I believe with him it's 2-3 hours.
