Removal of Silicone Injections

WORTH IT
Initially I had decided I did not want to share my story. Given my great experience, I changed my mind in hopes that anyone else in this situation can find an end to the long pain and discomfort ordeal that is living with silicone injections. After a year long of reading reviews on this platform on Dr. Nikfarjams work, I decided to contact his office.
His office quickly responded and I was immediately assigned to a Surgical Coordinator Brianna Diaz. She was kind, patient and extremely helpful through out the entire process. Once my Insurance approved the two stage procedure, a procedure date was set. I was very nervous on the procedure.
On 8/7/23 - Pre Ops appointment. During this appointment I met with Dr Nik person. He is very warm, confident and charismatic person. Listens to your concerns and also makes sure to go over every single step of the process. I left reassured and feeling positive about this upcoming procedure.
On 8/22/23 - First Surgery at LIJ Hospital to remove as much silicone as possible. I checked in at 6:30am to the hospital. I was admitted and prepped for surgery. Dr Nik walked me through the whole process once again. He literally held my hand i to the OR. Again he genuinely cares about his patients. An hour later i woke up in the recovery room.
I woke up drowsy and sluggish. In a bit of pain but nothing Dr Niks team didn't handle.
8/23/2024 - The day after the fist surgery, and the day before the 2nd surgery.
Today was a rest day in between both surgeries. Dr Nik came by to check up as well. All the nurses and staff was wonderful, caring, kind and compassionate. The pain was manageable throughout this process.
8/24/2023 - Today is the day 2nd surgery to wash out and perform a high lift.
Again I was prepped for the OR and again we went. Dr. Nik was always friendly and again walked me through the whole process.I was out of the OR within the hour. Woke up in the recovery room drowsy and sluggish but its all part of the process. Within the hour I was back in my assigned room in moderate pain, which again was manageable by the Doctors team. Got to sleep through the night.
8/25/2024 - Today is the day I am discharged.
I couldn't had woken up feeling better today. The pain was a lot less intense. I felt lighter and better. I am glad I went through with this surgery.
Looking forward to my post opt appointment to have the drains removed and start feeling better and hopefully soon work on the 3rd and final reconstructive part.
I am forever thankful for Dr. Nik and his team! Can begin to describe how much better I feel thus far.
Once we have completed the 3rd and final step - reconstructive surgery I will come again and provide and update in about 8 weeks.
Until then I am grateful to have finally gotten past this week and come out happier than I was.

Brooklyn roseSeptember 21, 2023
Drains came out yesterday!
I couldn't had been happier! I made the best decision. I feel so much better, Dr Nik is really the GOAT of Silicone removal. Another happy patient! I would recommend anyone looking to remove silicone to see Dr Nik. They are non-judgmental team of professional.

4 Months Post-Opp - Best decision of my life

I couldn't be happier with my results. My buttocks are shaping up nice, tight and lifted. His hands are a gift from GOD. His work is truly remarkable.
I look forward to my following procedure.
PS: please do not be discouraged by other patients negatives reviews. Having patience and realistic expectation of the before and after are very important. Dr. Nik will not promise what he cannot deliver.
His honesty and professionalism are truly admirable.
A few years before meeting Dr Nil, I had been completed mislead by a different plastic surgeon here in NYC. I wish i wouldve went with Dr. Nik from the very beginning. But good things come to those who wait! Worth the Wait!! I highly recommend him and his amazing team!

Hello, thanks for sharing your story with us. Are you able to show pictures? I have spoken privately with a few women who used him and it's mixed feelings especially with how much was left behind (shown in follow-up MRI). Would love to see before & after photos. Thank you!

Unfortunately I did not take any before and tbh my after pics are just horrible. Embarrassing. I’m 32 years old and I’m feeling like my worst mistake was being naive to let myself be injected but feel worse abt letting someone who calls himself a plastic surgeon do this to vulnerable patients. I just started seeing a therapist bc the thought of having to do this incredibly painful surgery again has me going nuts.

Since it’s been some time how are you doing? Did he remove all of the biopolymer?
February 7, 2025
He does not remove all
May 26, 2025
He absolutely do NOT remove even close to 75% of the product. I overlooked so many common sense things. Like how does he reach from the (nearly invisible) incision to the outer parts of your butt and hips. When asked he said there’s no way it can all be removed. And at the same time I was so excited that my insurance at least paid half. He tells you surgery one is to remove as much as he can [reach]. He installs a wound vac to collect excess silicone pellets that popped inside. Day two you rest. Day three he removes the vac and cleans the the area (doesn’t remove any more silicone) closes you up and sends you home the next day with your drains. He is located in NY so any problems that may come up make sure you have a doctor out by you to help. In Florida no doctor wants to touch another doctors patient. So I have to make two more trips to NY plus hotel and food to address my issues ( yes my butt procedure had more than one issue after surgery). By my third time I no longer saw him or did he follow up with my very serious issues. The girls from the office would check up on me from time to time.
Girls find a doc that really knows what he’s doing and actually cares about your health and results.
It’s been 18 months since my surgery and I’m scheduled to do my 3rd surgery to completely remove this poison from my body. There’s a doctor in LA that specializes in this named Dr. Katzen. Is he cheap no. Does he work with insurance no. But what he does do is take out 96-99% of this poison out.
I regret not borrowing money or using my credit cards bc now I have to subject myself to a third surgery. And for those that Haven’t had it done laying on you stomach for weekssss gets old very fast. There’s another doc in NY named Dr. Mir who is also a specialist in this and actually uses insurance as well. Wish I had known abt him first. In addition he’s renowned within the country. He’s been featured on Dr. Oz and many more. Oh and side note for whatever reason him or his team refuse to give you a follow up script after your initial surgery just to give you the peace of mind that all is mostly gone
