Silikon 1000 -- Under Eyes, Lips and Indent Below Corners of Mouth - West Orange, NJ

Thanks anon, I believe you are right. Thank you for sharing this and saving me the troubles down the road. I think I will wait and do fat transfer. I don't need surgery yet, but could use some restoration work. :-)

Good for you. This site is great for getting honest experiences. I wish you all the best.

I had fat transfer it dissolves in a year, your body reabsorbs it especially if you exercise or are thin....

Agreed, had fat transfer 6 months ago and I don't think it was worth it. Still have some under the eyes, but it expensive and I bruised badly. Interesting.... I'm thin and excersize daily ***

This is absolutely true. I had it done and it was gone in a few months

I'm seriously considering these injections. Still trying to work up the courage. I'm tired of paying for filler every four months.

Don't do it! It isn't worth the risk - believe me, I speak from experience.

You never look for money saving value in your face, hair or health. Anything you don't take off at the end of the day should be the absolute BEST you can get always, save money on groceries or underwear, not your looks. You will regret it. You are the best and deserve the best. "What is Silikon® 1000? Silikon® 1000 is a medical-grade pure form of silicone. " That is from the doctors website.

I am not into wasting $$ on fillers anymore. Siliken 1000 is safe! and to be honest I had a horrible reaction to juvaderm as it disintegrated in my face. I blew up like a frog eyed fish! I had to get an antidote injected, it happened twice! This is a better solution. Ive known women that had it done 5 years back and it still looks great! A number of doctors admitted to me that fat is useless. it dissolves!

Yup. Also I've had filler many times and the last 5 times it migrated ending up in the wrong places. I had an excellent doctor but he didn't know why that happened to me. Never got an answer.

Silikon 1000 is not safe!

Silikon 1000 isn't safe either. It can migrate or cause nodules.

Silikon 1000. Silikon 1000 is a medical grade, injectable silicone compound used to help produce better-proportioned facial features, lines, and contours.

Diamond413, if you're implying that Silikon 1000 is safe, you're wrong.

No, it is NOT safe. Even the doctors website says it's silicone. Actressdiva seems to think it's not silicone. I was just showing her that even the doctors say it is.

My bad. You're right, Actressdiva doesn't know what she's talking about; even Dr. Joseph calls it silicone.

Diamond413 I haven't seen a doctors website call it silicon unless they are against it. Dr Joseph's website doesn't say that to the best of my knowledge.

Also filler migrates. I have lumps in my chin that migrated from my cheeks

One final comment. Facts matter. Let me try to explain a little further about silicone use. It is recommended that a Becton Dickinson 3/10 insulin U-100 syringe be used for silicone injections. An injection of NO MORE THAN .01 cc be administered at any single injection site. So while the doc might use that much, you will encounter several individual injections (probably at least a dozen). I have read that .005 is the preferred amount of filler in a single site at each treatment. BTW, .08 cc translates to about .16 teaspoons. Mine were done again and again by highly trained hands. Under those circumstances I concluded it was both safe and prudent for me. You can find stories of people who had 800 ml of free floating silicone injected into their butts. This, of course, will not end well, but cannot be compared to the actions of responsible highly trained medical practitioners.

Great information. Thank you.

Hi actress diva, I hope I don't sound like a poop head, but Silikon 1000 is liquid injectable silicone. There are only two such products: Silikon 10000 and Adato- Sil 5000. Silikon 1000 is a 1000 centistroke material and Adatosil is 5000 centistrokes. The Silikon 1000 is less viscous or thick and sticky, which might be why it is more commonly used. The resorbable fillers can have problems too, but are generally not permanent. Hope this helps, and I hope I didn't sound too obnoxious, just trying to help. Lautrec

Your reviews and comment are very helpful as I make my decisions. Thank you.

:)

chi910 from Dr. Joseph's website "If you're looking for a permanent result, Dr. Joseph will often recommend Silikon-1000® (purified polydimethyl siloxane)." Look up purified polydimethyl siloxane..... its silicone oil.

fat transfer is a waste! it will dissolve and leave you with fat nodules! MY GF has lumps under her eyes from it!

Me too. Plus my lips are now uneven because the fat stayed in some areas and not in other areas.

I had a fat transfer and it was gone in no time. My body absorbed it. I'm so tired of paying for filler that also absorbs quickly. Thing is I see as many praising the Silken 1000 as those warning against it. From what I gather its about the technique so if you get a doctor who only injects it occasionally your results will not be the same as one who does it on a regular basis. I'm still considering it but would take it very slow. There are a series of 3 injections with 6 weeks in-between. I'm doing a lot of research. I understand they've been injecting it in Europe for over 50 years. Well good luck to you. I know how frustrating this can be.

Silken 1000 is silicon oil, PLEASE PLEASE be careful! It never dissolves! The bad thing about Radiesse and Juviderm is that they are temporary but that IS also the GOOD thing! There is no starting over again from scratch with Silken 1000.

Diamond413 thanks for your feedback. I'm nervous but I just found out my Doc while I lived in Chicago is now doing it and he's a very respected guy. I couldn't go back and forth for the 3 injections but there is a doctor in West Orange NJ who gets raves for his work. I'm concerned but excited too. I would only get it in my lips where i feel I have some control.

I only had one round of Silikon 1000 and I'm experiencing complications. You can't control how your body reacts to it.

BTW, my doctor was Dr. Eric M. Joseph.

What are your complications malhotra? Can you share and can you post a photo?

Having it only done it your lips gives you control of nothing. There are other problems besides migration. Check out the post from Christine44113.

Not sure how to find the comment by Christine44113. I don't see it on this thread but will continue to look.

THank you. here is the link: http://www.realself.com/review/fort-lauderdale-fl-silikon-1000-dangerous

Thank you for posting that Doranelle.

Not only can it migrate, it can also cause nodules that will need to be surgically removed. Most doctors don't offer Silikon 1000 because it isn't safe.

Had it done by Dr. Joseph a week ago. He's very experienced and very cautious. It looks great, nothing has moved and it's very natural looking. I'm going back on July 11th for a second injection which will be the right amount for me. I first went in February and it took this long to make the decision. I'm so glad I did it. I'll tell you this, almost every high end cosmetic doctor is doing this but they don't advertise it and until you ask they don't tell you. Dr. Joseph has the most experience so it would be foolish to go to anyone else

I am not talking about fat. I'm talking about a dermal matrix graft. I would rather use my own tissue other than alloderm or whatever they have already. You can use your own. Dr. Bresnick has information: http://www.drbresnick.com/lip-augmentation-los-angeles/

actually, no... this was the procedure Dr. Bresnick does that I was talking about: http://www.drbresnick.com/lip-advancement-los-angeles/ I found another doctor that puts your own tissue inside a fascia shell so it doesn't absorb. I will have to find his info and post it here.
