Silicone Oil Removal for Cheek
Complications of Silicone Oil
- Pain, swelling, redness, and inflammation
- Deformed, sagging, uneven skin with visible wrinkles
- Formation of hard lumps resembling tumors, protruding
- Skin inflammation with color changes, such as yellow or red; in severe cases, the skin may turn purple
- Migration of liquid silicone to surrounding tissues, causing deformities or abnormalities in adjacent areas as if silicone had been injected there
- In some cases, joint or muscle pain due to the body’s reaction against the foreign substance
Silicone Oil Removal for the Cheeks
Surgical correction can be divided into two types:
1.Surgical Removal Using the SOS Technique
This method is designed to safely extract liquid silicone without causing damage to surrounding tissues. It is particularly suitable for cases where the foreign substance has not yet solidified significantly. The clinic’s specialized technique minimizes tissue trauma by creating only a needle-sized incision, resulting in quicker recovery and effectively reducing the risk of scarring.
2.Surgical Excision Using the SOSR Technique
This procedure is recommended for cases involving clearly defined lumps or chronic inflammation in the tissue. The clinic’s SOSR technique ensures the efficient, precise, and safe removal of liquid silicone. The procedure also emphasizes scar concealment, ensuring that the incisions blend seamlessly with the body’s natural contours. Meticulous suturing results in smooth and natural-looking outcomes.
The Advantages of Removing Silicone Oil from the Cheek area.
✔️ Effectively removes silicone oil
✔️ Slims the face and reduces cheek fullness
✔️ Enhances facial contours, providing a naturally slimmer appearance
✔️ Minimizes tissue damage and ensures safety
✔️ Small incision, only needle-sized
✔️ Quick recovery time
Cheek/ Chin Contour Enhancement Surgery
Correction of silicone oil in the cheeks or chin can be performed together with an excision along the sides of the cheeks/chin to enhance the facial structure, providing a more defined jawline and contour. This results in a youthful and naturally balanced appearance. The excision is hidden along the natural contours under the chin on both sides. The size of the excision depends on the specific issue and individual needs of the patient.
After the surgical removal or suction of silicone oil, the area where the foreign substance was removed may experience sagging or shrinkage. Additional procedures may be needed to correct or enhance the appearance, such as fat grafting, thread lifting, filler injections, or a facelift.
Procedure for correcting foreign substances with facelift
- The doctor evaluates the patient’s facial issues, such as wrinkles, lumps, or the formation of silicone oil into nodules or masses in the cheeks and other problematic areas.
- The doctor designs the location to partially dissolve the foreign substance that is adhered to the skin and removes it.
- A special solution is injected to separate the foreign substance from the skin, allowing it to detach.
- The doctor designs the position for lifting and tightening the cheek area, outer eye corners, and temples.
- The doctor makes an incision and carefully separates the skin layer from the layer of foreign substances attached to the skin and some connective tissue (SMAS layer).
- The doctor removes the foreign substances that can be extracted during the facelift surgery and tightens the SMAS layer by suturing it to the rigid connective tissue at the temples. This creates a tighter under-skin structure in the cheeks, resulting in an effective lift.
- The doctor lifts and removes excess sagging skin.
- Once the skin has been shaped and tightened appropriately, the doctor sutures the layers of tissue together until the procedure is complete.
