Is It Possible to Remove Injectable Butt Augmentation Substance?

Around 2005 i had injections done in my buttocks and then again in 2006. Sad to say on both occasions it was not administered from a doctor. I'm unsure of what the substance really is. Since then My buttocks have formed discoloration and lumps. My left buttock has dropped tremendously so now i"m distorted. Is there something that i can do to fix this? I know i've made a terrible decision I'm really afraid.

Injectable synthetic materials in the buttocks is irreversible

Synthetic injectable materials in the buttock are an irreversible procedure. This is no way to ever get it out as, unlike a solid implant, it is scarred in amongst the tissues over a broad area not just a single implant pocket. Trying to remove it would leave the buttock terribly scarred. The only reason to consider any form of excision is if an area starts draining, is painful, or gets infected. Otherwise, you are best to leave the buttocks alone and only treat areas that become... more

Silicone Injections into the butt

Silicone, or other material that is injected into a butt (breasts, or other body area), is unsafe and not performed by any normal doctor that I am aware off. There are many complications arising from injectable substances such as Silicone.  The biggest problem, however, is getting it out once it becomes a problem.  It cannot be liposuctioned out.  If removal is required, it is done by cutting out all the tissues where the silicone has spread.  This will leave a... more

Substance injected to the butt a very serious problem

It would help to know what was injected into the tissue, I can only assume it was silicone. Silicone would act just like you have mentioned and if this is the case there is not a lot you can do. From my experience in dealing with direct silicone injections into the breast tissue I am worried for you. The silicone becomes encased and forms hard nodules with chronic inflammation. The silicone can not simply be suctioned out of the tissue. It is very destructive to operate and remove the... more

Try to find out what it was that was injected

I agree with the prior posts about getting an x-ray to help determine what is in there. It might also be helpful to get an MRI to evaluate where it is actually located, as well as to determine if there any loculated areas of this substance or cysts that can be easily drained or suctioned. It would be best to try to find out what it was that was injected just to be sure that it is nothing to worry about. If it is not, and if it is not causing any major problems, then it may be best to leave... more

Silicone nodules in the buttocks

Silicone injections and silicone nodules in the buttocks can be treated effectively using conservative measures in the primary stage of treatment and surgical measures in the secondary and plateau phases of silicone treatment. I characterize these three phases as such: Karamanoukian protocol for silicone injection treatment: Primary Phase - Conservative: Reduction of Inflammatory and Infectious Component of Silicone Injections Secondary Phase- Maintenance of Inflammatory Component of... more

Leave well enough alone

Tanya, The discoloration probably represents pigmentation from an inflammatory response to whatever substance was injected into your buttocks. It would behoove you to find out what material was used because this might dictate what can be done. If you can't find out, then you're best to leave it alone. Good luck!

Removing buttock injections is a difficult situation

It would be helpful to find out, what the heck is in there? Is it silicone, or a fat transfer, or something else? If you know, then share it with your doctor. If you do not know, and can not find out, an X-ray may be helpful, as some substances show up on X-ray, while others do not. This has been present for a very long time, we should assume that this will be a more or less permanent solution unless something is done. I think that liposuction may be of help to you. Before deciding on a... more

Seek a plastic surgeon experienced in soft tissue buttock augmentation

No doubt about it, you need a thorough exam. It might include x-rays to determine what substance has been injected. If it is at all possible to track down the individual who performed the treatment or just to have them send you records of the treatment, it might help. The only person who can help you decide the options for treatment and what type of improvement you might have is a plastic surgeon experienced with soft tissue augmentation, particularly the buttock area. Good luck. This is a... more

Difficult to remove!!

It might be very hard to remove the substance injected. I would try to leave it in place except if you have a bad reaction,infection etc.. I would recommend that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, his clinical exam might access the value of a revision using fat grafting to smooth out the buttock area. Hope that helps!!
