Avatar f tn Philadelphia (CNN) -- A judge has ordered a singer known as "Black Madam" -- suspected of carrying out a fatal injection last year -- to stand trial on charges she performed illegal cosmetic procedures, including buttocks enhancements. Police arrested Padge Victoria Windslowe in March before she was about to host a "pumping party," at which people pay for illegal silicone injections, police said. The 42-year-old remains in jail on $750,000 bail.
Avatar n tn If you go to x-tube you can see the results of silicone injections into the testicles. Some men have injected over two liters of silicone into their testicles resulting in freakishly large decended testicles. I think this could be quite damaging.
6601351 tn?1382900501 There are other several treatment options available for the keloid treatment like mederma (allium cepa), natural treatments like mucin from the snail helix, moist wound dressings made of silicone gel which decreases the prominence of keloid scar over sometime, steroid injections, compression bandages, cryosurgery, and radiation & laser therapy. Surgery can also be done but the recurrence rate is up to 50% and the recurrent scar which develops is actually much bigger in size.

Avatar n tn There are a few clinically proven scar reduction methods. Many involve lasers or injections. One clinicaly proven treatment that is available OTC is ScarAway. It is available as a patch or strip and safely reduces scars. For facial scars like acne, use ScarAway Serum. Very effective, although the patches (often referred to as silicone scar sheets) are most effective so use them when feasible, and serum only when you cannot use the strip in the area.
607284 tn?1224793302 The second surgery was the same year in October. Then I had silicone oil removed and cataract surgery in November of 2008. Since that time, I have been having injections of Avastin, Triessence, Lucentis, Kenalog (seems they choose a different drug each time!) about every 3 months. As I understand it, this is not so much for improving the vision in that eye, but to control the edema of the macula/retina. As my doctor bluntly puts it, it is to "save the eye".
Avatar m tn Aside from cortisone inkections, surgery, laser, silicone sheets, cryotherapy, interferon, radiation and fluorouracil are also available. Cortisone injections are safe and not very painful. Injections are usually given once per month until the maximum benefit is obtained. However, steroid injections can also make the flattened keloid redder by stimulating the formation of more superficial blood vessels. (ref: http://www.medicinenet.com/keloid/page3.
Avatar m tn This may be because others, like me, are not familiar with how silicone injections (as opposed to silicone implants?) would show up on US imaging. Also, are you a male? (Your profile inicates that you are, but a lot of times people show up as males--I quess it's the default setting--when they are actually females.) If you are a male, were you taking the hormones as part of a transgender process? That could certaining stimulate changes in the breast tissue.

Avatar f tn IT is raise so it takes the shape of the incision site.I plane to use silicone sheet for this one and I plan to use a silicone sheet for my flat scar to be safe.

Avatar f tn Some of the treatment options are application of creams like Mederma or contractubex gel,silicone gel dressings,surgery,steroid injections,compression bandage,cryosurgery,laser therapy and alpha-interferon, 5-fluorouracil and bleomycin. Regarding the tinea infection,if it is unresponsive to the topical anti fungals,then pls start with oral antifungals.Also if there is no response then the diagnosis needs to be revised. Hope it helps.
Avatar n tn and i got three stitches on the chin beacuse of this my chin and lower lip got dislocated slightly .how can it be brought back to original position .
Avatar f tn I'm so gald you asked this question and would like to add to it! How soon after can you start applying scar treatment/sunscreen? My tt was 6 weeks ago, and the dermabond is just about wearing off. I'd like to know if it's ok to start putting something like bio-oil on it. Also, will sunscreen suffice, or should I cover it up with a light scarf when spending time outside in the upcoming summer months?
Avatar m tn m thinking about going to the dermatologist to ask about cyrotherapy or steroid injections. When I first got my keloid and asked my doctor about getting it removed he said there's nothing he could do. But I can't live with it anymore. Is cyrotherapy and steroid shots safe? And is there a chance my keloid could growing back? Or is there another method to have it removed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Avatar f tn As of 2 weeks post op I have a little of vision but is very very cloudy and not clear at all. They used the silicone oil instead of the gas bubble this time. Since my eye has been through 2 surgeries since 6/26, will it be months down the road before better vision comes on. I am really getting discouraged to ever be able to see in this left eye again. I work at a job that I am on the computer for several hours a day.
Avatar n tn Some keloids respond to topically applied silicone sheeting and steroid injections near the site. However, there is a risk of thinning of the skin with steroid injections. Alternative therapies include: freezing and steroid injections; surgery plus radiation therapy; laser therapy and other injectable agents, such as interferon alpha and gamma. Surgical removal of keloids may lead to the keloid coming back larger than it was before the excision.

144586 tn?1284666164 the infection from re-using needles are very very low, i usually recommend people to use it for one day. However, the more time the needle is use, the duller it gets and the more painful it gets. Alcohol is not recommended. if you are using glucometer to ***** your fingers, the alcohol make your skin harder therefore need to poke harder...therefore more painful.
Avatar n tn He just had to get a shot last week b/c he had sores all over his belly from biting and scratching. Now he has a fat bottom lip. He had the same thing in February, got a shot and it went away. I read that fish based foods can cause allergies. He only eats chicken flavored food but I had just given him a salmon flavored treat a day or so before the lip flare up. Anyway, I know that the vet will not want to give him another steroid shot so soon after the other one.
607284 tn?1224793302 Hi, I have had 3 surgeries for Rd - the first in Aug 08, with scleral buckle and gas bubble, then it detached again when the bubble went down, so I had another surgery in Sept 08, this time with silicone oil. The oil was removed in December 08, and cataract surgery done at that time In the 2 years since the oil was removed, I have been receiving injections every six weeks to 3 months. Sometimes I am injected with Avastin, and sometimes with Triessence.
Avatar f tn I regularly get lip injections and also microblading for my eyebrows at a medical spa. When we have leftover product from the lip injections we didn’t use she will save it and put it in a bag with my name on it and refrigerate it for next time. My question is how long does hiv stay active inside a syringe if I go a couple weeks later and get the rest of it filled into my lips and as for the microblading it is not needles they use with syringe it is blades.
Avatar f tn Steroid injections are generally used for exterior skin scars and not internal lip mucous membrane scars. There is a risk of fat atrophy with steroid injections. A consultation with a local plastic surgeon would determine if this might be appropriate.
Avatar n tn The use of silicone sheets is very good, and does decrease the scars. Also, injections with steroids can help. Try a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon.
Avatar m tn A few years ago I was swimming in a crowded pool and got elbowed in the face, which caused one of my teeth to puncture my lip. Ever since, I have this condensed ball in my lip that sort of has a white stripe. I recently got fed up with it, and was wondering if there is a way to get rid of it?
Avatar n tn Any suggection on getting rid of the lumps and red circles from Radiesse would be much appreciated! I received those injections on Dec 15th. The lumps and redness have faded slightly but are still visable and didn't have circles under my eyes before reciecving Radiesse. Will they eventually go away on their own? Thanks a billion!
Avatar m tn I am 20 years old and i have big lower lip.Even my upper lip is a little bit big and is there any possibility that my lips can be augmented without any side effects?
