Hi! I also got butt injections 3 and half years ago. I had it done in Corona, Queens. That was such a mistake! The person who injected me was Barbara. I believe she got arrested. Exactly what she deserves!!! Why? She lied to her clients! She said she was injecting hydrogel but was injecting silicone instead! I started to see the discoloration about a year later! Its awful! I'm a latina, but I'm very fair. You could have seen the discoloration a mile away. It itched too! I was scared, I mean very scared! I went to Dr. Yager in tears!! He assured me that I was not the first one. I asked him if he could help me and he said yes! I had to undergo 2 surgeries! One to try to remove as much silicone as possible then the second to remove fat from my midsection to fill in the gap! Its called fat transfer. You would need to wait a few months in between for the surgeries. Its only been 5 months so I'm still healing! I don't believe I will be totally healed since I still see the discoloration! But its not as bad as it used to be! I thank Dr. Yager and his staff for all their effort. They really try to make you feel at ease and they are non-judgemental! Good Luck! Alsoregretting, do you have an email address? Can you email me at janemary742@yahoo.com

I got my butt injected and after about a few weeks,
my butt looks like it got a little bigger, not extremely noticable, it really just looks like I gained weight in my butt, however, it feels like I have ants in my pants, because my butt itches constantly, and now I have huge bluish dark discoloration all across both butt cheeks, so it kind of defeated the purpose, because it's not pleasing to look at.
Does anyone know of anything that will make the ugly horrible marks go away, I did not get any more shots because I dont want to have scars for life on my butt. If anyone knows of how to get rid of this please let me know.

mistake, some people say to get a tan to hide it... but i dont know how true that is since i never tried it. i have them too... but luckily i only did my hips so i only have them at my sides... they are soo ugly though.. and it kind of looks like im growing tumors on my hips... it looks weird because it doesn't connect to my butt.

I had the silicone lipoed out, then had fat transfer 4 months later. I'm still recovering! Though my butt looks the way it did before the injections, I still see the discoloration!:( I'm hoping that the pinkish color fades away with time! Let's see! I'll keep you all posted! But for all other people who are thinking about getting these illegal injections, please don't! It will definitely ruin your life! Not only your self esteem but your pocket as well. To reverse these complications is very expensive! Then you're not really guarantee the results that you sooo want!!! It's not worth it, believe me!

The total cost for both surgeries, massages and blood work was about $10,000. But you can proably talk to your doctor to see if he/she can give you a discount! Blood work will be done in another doctor's office. Insurance companies will not pay anything for cosmetic surgery! Then after each surgery you would need massages. The first massage is free then if you want to continue with the massages it will cost you extra.The massages does help! Oh by the way, I see a blog above about itching. Yes, I had the itching with the shots myself. After the surgeries I didn't feel the itching as much. Sometimes I do but not as intense anymore!
I went to Dr. Yager in New York City. I believe every patient experiences different things. Good Luck!

also regretting, can i ask how many cc's was injected to you in the first place? also, was he able to remove any IF it migrated to your legs?

To be very honest with you I don't remember how many cc's was injected into me because I had the injections done 3 times! I know, very stupid! It never migrated to my legs, thank goodness! It was all over my butt and my hips! I went in for surgery to remove it before it started to migrate anywhere else in my body and to stop the discoloration! He removed a lot of it. It's impossible to get everything out without leaving you scarred or deformed. I hope I'm helping people out there so they won't do this stupid stupid mistake! I normally don't comment on these blogs, but I felt I had to in order to help other women and men out there! It's not worth looking cute or attractive for only a couple of years, then be miserable for the rest of your life! Then having to look for doctors to help you and spend a lot of money!

I just wanted to add that the itching comes from you having an allergic reaction to the tampered/mixed silicone. I have my surgery with doctor yager coming up. I was going to go to Dr Santiago but if you find a doctr in the states stay here ladies! The good thing is that Dr yager uses laser loop to remove , the bad thing is that his schedule even in the summer is crazy, so uay have to live with the symptoms. But if you have medical doc you can get cortizone shot for the swelling and pain. That will make them go away temporarily. As far as mri my medical doc ordered it so my insurance covered. And ally bloodwork /clearance will be covered by insurance everything else is out of pocket. The cosy for removal is $4500 ....after that u may or may not be able to get fat transfer

Is there anyone on here that has ACTUALLY had it removed? I would love to hear from you. How long did it take to recover? Scarring? Disfigured? Bumps?
Thanks!

Got my done 4 weeks ago by Carlos in Fl. I hear he goes to NY as well. Stupid me for not loving myself enough to let a non professional touch my body.
, I have no physical complications however I have been affected emotionally severely by this stupidity. I finally feel ok after finding a medical solition to this.There is a couple surgeons in the us and a few in Colombia.
All any other person can tell us is their personal experience. who they used and their results. Mind you only God and the idiot that did this to us only ones that know what product was used. I'm pretty sure we've got a wide range of substances. Also current complications, muscle tissue, fat and skin elasticity that would determine results. It is expensive to remove but who cares. This is your body. Sooner or
Later you'll get a reaction.
I will Recommend the surgeon I choose, to anyone that is interested. I have spent numerous hours doing research on this. Do not massage prior to removal surgery! Cortisone shots thin the skin. No bueno! No jumping it spreads the product!
