Silikon 1000. Do Your Research
I had silicone 1000 injections from around 2017 or 2018 for acne scars and as time has gone on the injection sites have gotten more and more red. I also wear sunscreen everday. I greatly regret this decision as now instead of my scarring being noticeable, the redness is noticeable.
I tried getting ipl laser sessions to reduce the redness and there was no change. The doctor who did the silicon injection procedure told me there's nothing more that can be done but that he doesn't think it looks bad. I obviously feel differently.
I tried seeing another doctor who used an aerolase laser and it did absolutely nothing. I contacted Dr Harrison Lee who's a celebrity plastic surgeon and known for silicon injection removal and he told me he's sorry but there's nothing he can do after I told him it was silikon 1000.
All of the dermatologists I saw for this said they would never recommend permanent silicon injections and that's on me for not doing enough research. I don't know how many people have this side effect from these injections. There could be others or even most people who have no discoloration but my advice is to just really do your due diligence before making your decision. My concern is this is only 4 or 5 years after the procedure so what will this look like 20 years from now.
If there's any doctors who have any advice or recommendations about other methods to reduce redness or ideas for the removal of the silicone please let me know. Thank you
