I didn't want to post my pics but I felt it was important to put my story out there for those ladies that are going through my same situation and can't find help. In October of 2013 I made the sad mistake of getting silicon injections. I really did think it wouldn't happen to me, I wouldn't have complications but I did.
At first I was fine, but as the days past the area started to turn into a big black and blue then it got so hard it felt like a was carrying a brick on my butt cheek. After about 3 weeks I went to to hospital and was admitted for cellulitis. They gave me IV antibiotics and that's when the real problem arose. For the next year I was admitted into the hospital at least 5x. My minimum admission time was 1 week. Once I spend 3 weeks. I had fevers of 103 at times. The fevers were so bad I would shake the bed because I was so cold. My blood count would constantly drop and I would have to get blood transfusions. It was a mess and no doctor wanted to try to remove the substance.
In June of 2014 I flew to Miami with my mom to attempt to pay to get it remove with a Dr Antun, which was a waste of 10,000 because as much as he wanted to help me 2 weeks after my surgery I was back in the hospital for another week. At this point I made a sound decision to remove this material that was slowly killing me.
My friend that's was also going through this found an excellent doctor at Lenox hill that actually was willing to tackle this mess we had gotten ourselves into. But the results would be distortion. After seeing that the doctor in Miami couldn't help me I decided to just go with her doctor. Dr Tansar Mir was a blessing from God. He gave me and so many other women life again. He removed the material and once he did that all of problems went away. I still battle with the anemia but I've always been anemic.
I have added the pictures before he removed the material.

He did attempt to remove it. It was a waste for me because less than a month after my surgery I was bak in the hospital. Dr Antun removes it through s liposuction method and that way of removing it spreads the product. The areas need to be opened. Look into Dr Gallerani in Miami. He was my initial pick. The only reason I went with Antun was because my cousin recommended him.
December 7, 2015
Yes I agree Dr. Gallerani or Dr. Harrison Lee would be my choices when I have to remove it. I know it's coming soon an I looking for my doctors carefully.

Kat_xoxo who gave you the 3 different incisions and why did they do it like that?
User Avatar

The incisions are the fat transfers, or revision bbl. my doctor had to remove the skin, silicon, and underlying fat because it was all stuck together like glue. So he cut it out and put surrounding sling together. He was able to save the muscle but he needed to put fat back and try to make it more uniform. I will be going with Dr Omulepu for my bbl in March. Fingers crossed

My stay at Lenox hill was for three weeks. During those three weeks I had a total of 4 surgeries every Monday and Friday. I was has to have the nerve in my left leg cut because the silicon had migrated to the front of my leg and wrapped itself around the nerve.

what the amount of sillicone? And why not one surgery at once? And how was ur healing process?

I had over 1000cc of silicon on each cheek. He couldn't do it in one surgery because it's just impossible. Then after he removes it he attaches a wound vac that acts as a vacuum and removes whatever is left.

And how is ur recovery was it hard? And how many years was the sillicone in u?
User Avatar
December 10, 2015
I immediately got sick, after getting it. Approximately a month after is was put in I was admitted into the hospital. And the recovery was very painful. Imagine they removed 2 big chunks of my butt because they could not remove the silicon without removing the skin, it was all stuck together. However on the bright side he was able to save the muscle.

December 8, 2015
Great story in desperation u do anything but your story will save lives
December 16, 2015
You are very brave. Thank you for sharing your story. I had been considering this, but will not move forward now. Thank you again!
December 17, 2015
I never considered this but your story is heart touching and brave! I'm just glad to hear you are alive and well and moving forward now. Have you tried going to a ND or trying on your own to do natural detoxing for your body? There are a lot of herbs and other natural supplements that can really help you with that and the being anemic.
As far as your body, walk around confident that you are beautiful and unique( as all women are) and don't need to mold to someone else's liking. :)
Take care

No, I never considered doing a detox. I would love to, but I don't know how that works. And thank you for the words of encouragement, that so sweet. But it's really for me. Me being comfortable in my own skin. My husband says he loves me the way I am.
December 17, 2015
All the better you have s husband standing by your dude!
Read up on detox after what you went through bc they can't get all the particles out, just most of them and the larger ones.
