Who can give me the name of a good Silikon 1000 doctor in the Chicago area (preferably northern suburbs). Much appreciate your response.

I have since returned to see Dr J for a second round of Silikon injections and the procedure went just as smooth as the first time. I am even more pleased and always appreciate the Dr's honest and forthright evaluation. Dr J truly enjoys what he does (making us all beautiful!) In my opinion he is a talented artiste` as well as a highly skilled physician making certain every procedure is performed to his standards.... speaking of which - I also paid the Dr a visit for laryngitis which he diagnosed as a result of a sinus infection. I was feeling better in no time and highly recommend seeing Dr. J for any E.N.T. issues you may have as well ~ he knows his stuff! Back atcha Doc...you're the BEST!!

Where did he make the injections?

I receivd Silikon 1000 injections in my upper and lower lips and in the lines by corners of my mouth which were very deep. I went back for a second lip injection as the doctor prefers to do them moderately since the procedure is permanent. Unfortunately the pictures posted do not reflect the results as well as they came out, or the most recent results. I will see if the Dr. can post more when I return for my next visit to him.

Be careful. That's what Pricilla Presley had done. I've read that it looks really bad in 10 years. My doctor who gives me filler will not even touch that stuff.

Hi ssunshower, 

What kind of fillers do you get?

I had the Silikon 1000 and I have had it for over 2 years and no problems whatsoever.
I believe Priscilla Presley for whatever reason and by her own admission did not go to a qualified doctor
for her treatments. She had them done "off the cuff" as they say...not a wise choice.

Hi Lexi, 

I would have to agree that a qualified doctor and a non "off the cuff" approach is awesome and smart, to any type of procedure. 

Thanks for the info,

Evolenceprod, I am confused because you seem to say one place you had "evolence" and another place silikon. I was very worred AFTER I had the silicon 1000 because I didn't see any change and then read about how it can migrate and fortunately after three years, no problem but I would only go to a doctor who specializes in this because many report great satisfaction but it is never clear how long after they are reporting. I wonder what you actually had done and were you initially happy and then did you only get the lumps years afterwards or what? Thank you for sharing.

Under eye he put evolence.. Over 12 yrs he kept putting the silicon in my lips and ten yes ago he put silicon in my chin ( acne pits!) and in my forehead ... I now have very lumpy chin area as well as a huge lump between eyes.. I have my medical file where he took pics prior to ever injecting me on chin.. Lips, and areas.. I'll upload .. I just had evolence surgically removed and it's still an issue but at least lumps are out.. My lips are continuing to grow over years and the migrating is REAL. I was VERY happy for years .. hopefully u will never have these issues but EVERY plastic surgeon has been LIvid about this silicon injectibles .. You WILL see a problem one day . Just a matter of years . Took me over ten to see the problems.. I loved it at first but now realize how stupid !!! Insane.. I was to EVER allow SILICON in my face!! No matter that it was minuscule amounts.. Ugh! Good luck

I had silicone... U all need to NOT get silicone into your face or lips !!! You will see in a few years exactly what the doctors are trying to tell u about as far as problems later.. Under my eye i was not injected w silicone but a temp filler and look at damage that caused!! Just imagine now w silicone!! It takes time to start seeing negative effects w silicone..

Hi I notice that you have posted to several other people who have had Silikon-1000and I will paste my earlier response to you so that people have both sides:

The lump under your eye is from using a product named "Evolence". I don't know what that is. The product that I got is called SILIKON-1000.

Silikon 1000 is a medical-grade pure form of liquid injectable silicone. It is FDA approved for opthamalogical use (retinal detachment) BUT it has been used as a filler by cosmetic surgeons for 30 years with good results! In the hands of QUALIFIED injectors, complication rates are extremely low. The injection technique is called the "micro-droplet" technique and it's a special skill learned to ensure that there is no migration.

I did SO MUCH research before I got this procedure - All of my research showed that the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR for success is the TECHNIQUE AND EXPERIENCE of the doctor. The best doctor in my region - Dr. Jospeh - is TWO STATES away from where I live! But I gladly drove over because I would not do this procedure with any doctor who is not the best. He made sure that I was aware of every possible risk before I consented to the injections and explained to me a plan for if any complications arise.

My results are fantastic and I am 10000000% happy with my choices of SILIKON-1000 and my doctor. I hope that everyone does their homework and reads both perspectives and makes the best choice for themselves.

Well all I can say is Dr.Joseph is highly trained and skilled in this technique of administering the Silikon 1000. He uses the micro droplet method which you must have done in stages.
It is unfortunate that unskilled hands have ruined this fabulous process for some, hence giving it a bad rap.
I am so happy to have found Dr. Joseph and I would encourage any of you who are considering this process to go and see him. He will answer all your concerns in an open honest forum and then you can decide for yourself.
I am sure there are Dr's and even less qualified technicians who pump people up with the stuff right away and you CANNOT do that. That is what causes lumps, bumps and bulges.
I personally would not have it injected anywhere above my nose on my face. The eye area is very delicate and I think best treated with surgery or some temporary filler. Maybe a skilled physician could remove that for you and do a skin lift under the eye to smooth it out. It's worth looking into.

I returned to Dr. Joseph recently for a little tweaking. It was as exhilarating as my other 2 visits and I was even more thrilled with the results.
For any of you who think these reviews are not authentic, please feel free to contact me. I am a typical patient from suburbia who found Dr. J by doing some research on Silikon 1000 a few years ago. He did not disappoint. I have sent others to him who have had the same wonderful results.
I finally achieved the volume I was looking for in my lips and no one was the wiser.
I also had a session of microdermabrasion by a very skilled technician. It did wonders for my skin and I will be returning for more treatments. It truly was a decadent experience as described on Dr. J's web-site. It was relaxing and rejuvenating - absolutely worth taking the time for. I highly recommend it.
What else can I say? Doc you're simply the best!

sculptra may be a better option I was treated 3 weeks ago. The results are gradual but it really builds collagen under the skin. I m starting to see positive changes. its also fda approved and I go to a top plastic surgeon who specializes in it. I love it it lasts 2 or more years. But just make sure u go to an experienced doc
December 17, 2013
im not doubting silicon as I have not tried it. but if your worried go with sculptra which has no sillkon and the body eventully breaks it down Sculptra has improved over the years its now cutting edge... some people naturally don't have full cheeks and sculptra can give your face more volume and definition.

Sculptra lasts that long? I have gotten restylane and it lasted about 3 months and it cost me $ 1000

Hi, what was the price? I am trying to save and get rid of my horrible nasolabial folds. Thanks so much
User Avatar

I began my treatments in 2010, so the prices have changed since then. I also combined treatments such as lips and lines. It would be best to contact the office to see what the price is per treatment now. You will see results after one visit, but depending on your desired look you may wish to have additional visits. I can tell you they are permanent and will not melt away like the temporary fillers, which is wonderful!
July 16, 2015
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question:) I think my problem is actually that I have lost fat on my cheeks, right below my eyes and everything drooped down, also creating the nasolabial "folds" which are not wrinkles per se but just sagging skin from the center of my face. I thought of at least getting the naso labial fold area fixed but if I actually fill the area around my eyes and cheek area, the folds will disappear. I believe the only way is restylane under the eyes but there is absolutely no way I could afford this every couple of months or a cheek implant but not so comfortable with the idea. What I am looking at is fat transfer but this is also very pricey.
