Excision or Suction Removal of Liquid Silicone from the Buttocks and Hips
Complications of Liquid Silicone
- Pain, swelling, redness, and inflammation
- Skin deformity, sagging, and an uneven, rippled appearance
- Hard, tumor-like lumps that protrude
- Skin inflammation and discoloration, such as yellow or red; in severe cases, the skin may turn purple
- Migration of liquid silicone into adjacent tissues can cause them to become abnormal or deformed, as if liquid silicone had also been injected into those areas
- Some people may experience joint or muscle pain due to the body’s reaction to the foreign material
Excision and Suction Removal of Liquid Silicone from the Buttocks and Hips
1. Symptom-management medication alone
2. Surgery to remove liquid silicone as a foreign material Only partial removal is possible, with the aim of preventing the foreign material from spreading or worsening over time, causing tissue and skin damage, inflammation, or migration of the liquid silicone. Treatment outcomes in these cases are uncertain and depend on the condition of the patient’s skin and tissues, how long the symptoms have been present, and the type of foreign material
2.1 Suction removal of foreign material Silicone oil Suction (SOS)
The principle is similar to liposuction, but it is suitable only when the liquid silicone has not yet formed substantial hard nodules within the tissue
2.2 Surgery to Remove Foreign Material Silicone oil Suction Removal (SOSR)
The surgery removes lumps formed by liquid silicone. Only partial removal is possible, and the excision may leave a scar.
Note: The type of corrective surgery and its outcome should be considered jointly by the doctor and patient. They should agree on the treatment approach and accept the possible surgical outcome before deciding to proceed with surgery.
