Micro Silikon Droplets and possible overcorrection

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

Micro Silikon Droplets and possible overcorrection

Postby Alicia » Sat Aug 20, 2011 9:48 am

Hi,
I have a question please. I have rollin gacne scars and had the following treatments from an experienced derm.
April - injections
May - (3 weeks later) injections
May (one week later) dermabrasion
May (2 weeks later) injections
June (one month later) injections
July (month and a half later) injections

Now 3 weeks after my last injections I feel I see a few slight donuted areas and a few bumps. I will not have these done again. Do you think there is still swelling after 3 weeks and if there is an over correction can it be adjusted. My doc has not seen it yet but said there is treatment but I am just looking for 2nd opinion.

hard to say at 3 weeks. but most likely it is a defect and not swelling. 5FU injected sometimes can manage the situation if there is some surrounding scarring around the silicone. if not, shaving off the bump may help if things do not resolve in a few months.
best,
