Silicone Injection Removal from Lips and Buttocks

Silicone Injection Removal from Lips and Buttocks

C Star
WORTH IT
I learned the expensive way that trying to go cheap doesn't always pay off. I work at a club where many of the girls had silicone injections in their lips and butt. I jumped on the bandwagon and got them done too. A few months after silicone injections, some of us experienced problems. We collectively did research and found an amazing surgeon, Dr. Katzen, in Beverly Hills that removed these silicone injections. Dr. Katzen said these silicone injections are bad and illegal to inject into our bodies. These silicones had traveled to different parts of our bodies but luckily Dr. Katzen was able to remove them. We're all so grateful to have found Dr. Katzen when we did. Things could have gone much worse.

Hi does your butt look back to normal or have you lost noticeably lost your natural volume too? How long did you have it until you removed? Thank you so much!

Hello. I am sorry you had a bad experience. Please remember how dangerous silicone injections are, and that silicone removal can be a complicated surgery to perform. If I can help you, please call my office at (310) 859-7770.
Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

What happened to you? I did have a not pleasant experience with the doctor either, been to my second surgery now for getting the staph and since i told the doctor i have the stapphylococcus aureus i got zero contact with them. At the beggining were nice and checking up on me. Doctors in my country said its crazy to remove the drains and leave the hole open. Anyway also doctors attitude changed a lot when i brought this up, i was messed up in the hospital after surgery of the staph and when i tild doctor timothy i was being told that the staph is a nosocomial bacteria which u mostly get from hospital he claimed on a sarcastic tone that i was in a surgery center and not a hospital. Like really?! Anyway after my second surgery i have many papers to ho further

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm a patient of doctor Katzen and I'm 4 weeks postop and I'm loving my results. I had a great experience with him and his staff. I still have a journey ahead of me in my recovery.

I really don’t think this experience would have been pleasant with any surgeon. The fact that someone injected us with silicone is the horrific root of our problems. I checked our options and the ones who don’t leave us as deformed will not likely remove as much. Although I wish you ladies didn’t get staph infections and such :( I am 3 weeks out and I hate this painful predicament.

I agree with you, my health is my priority I didn't care so much about my incision going across my butt from one side to the other side. I just wanted the silicone out. My health was declining as time progressed. Im happy that I chosed Dr katzen to do my removal. Wishing you a speedy recovery
