Hi all.
I'm one of the guys who went the silicone route, having injections in the TJ and the UK.
A while back I asked the doc in TJ for referrals to surgeons who could remove the silicone, and he said that he could completely remove it.
Long story short, I've had 4 procedures with him and there's still a lot of silicone left and I'm pretty badly scarred. After a lot of frustration I finally confronted the doc with my suspicion that he wasn't doing what I wanted him to do, and he more or less confirmed that he had tried to preserve my size rather than make me look as normal as possible, which is what I wanted.
I can't say that I trust the TJ doc anymore, so I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who can refer me to a surgeon who might be able to help. I'm in Los Angeles, where there are tons of plastic surgeons, but moving through the phone book doesn't seem like the best strategy. I've pursued the surgeon in London who worked on "PhilmoreUK" and tried to contact the few other guys who've had silicone removed, but it seems like everyone has gone under the radar.
Please - no rants about my choice to do silicone. I don't condemn anyone who's had or wants to have the injections, nor do I condemn the docs for doing them. In the end, silicone wasn't the right choice for me, and I'm happy to say why to anyone who's interested, but I'm not going to argue whether it's the right choice for anyone else.
Thanks.
