My journey begins

WORTH IT
In 2012 I had silicone injections injected in my hips and my buttocks. I wanted a more shapely appearance and was so desperate I allowed someone to inject a product into me.
After 5 years my body stared to react. I never thought I would be in this situation. I thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones and be fine.
I'm not fine- my body has rejected the product and my skin in the hips and butt area is very infected.
I went to see Dr G in May. I did my MRI and I feel so comfortable with having my surgery with him this coming January.
I'm from Canada so It's alot to pay in US dollars to have this removal ,but I promise anyone reading this when you meet DR G you will understand that he is the best and only person I puke trust.
His knowledge and passion to help people in this situation love full lives is incredible.
I'm so nervous for this removal. I pray that I'm in the best emotion and spiritual place.
That's where you need to be. You have to accept this is happening but thankfully there's hundreds of us coming forward sharing our stories.
And thankfully there a doctor like dr G who is here to help.
I'll be sure to post pictures and take you guys along on my journey. Feel free to message me with any questions.

Hi everyone. I had my removal in January 2020 from my ups and butt.

All I can say is DR G and his team are incredible. The compassion the love that they show is incredible and absolutely helps with the process. I definitely did not feel alone.

The surgery was hard- because I had a lot of product in my hip I do have dents that are starting to fluff and the skin is stretching.

You have to be mentally prepared for this surgery.

It’s no joke! There are times that you will feel sad, angry, depressed, and over the healing process. It’s a life saving surgery- not a fun I’m going to get new boobs. Remember that. I will say for every sad moment I had knowing that I’m free from the poison, anxiety, depression of the unknown- all that it was worth it.

Trust the process. As questions, dr G and his team really are transparent and will keep it as real as they can with u.

I am going to see him for my revision- I just need to wait a bit longer because as I said my hip dents need to stretch more. I also want to let my body heal from the first surgery- a lot of meds.

Good luck.
