Liquid Silicone Injected into the Penis: Can It Be Removed?

Liquid silicone is not an appropriate substance for enlargement injections, and the body cannot break it down. If problems occur, the main treatment is surgical removal of the silicone-affected tissue by our specialist team.

How liquid silicone differs from HA filler

HA filler is a gel the body gradually breaks down, and it can be dissolved immediately with an enzyme. Liquid silicone stays in the body permanently, spreads into the tissue, and may migrate to the pubic area or scrotum. The body may form inflammatory lumps around it (siliconoma).

Common symptoms

  • Multiple scattered lumps or a distorted shape
  • Recurring inflammation, swelling and redness
  • Discoloured, hardened or tight skin
  • Substance migrating to the base or scrotum
  • Pain or tightness during erection

How it is treated

Ultrasound assessmentSilicone has a characteristic appearance on ultrasound, which helps define its extent before surgery.
Treating inflammation firstAny inflammation or infection is settled before surgery.
Surgical removal and skin repairThe specialist team removes the silicone-affected tissue and repairs the skin. Some patients need several stages.
Follow-upCheck-ups continue until the wound has healed, with further correction assessed if needed.
Nothing should be injected over silicone

Injecting filler or any other substance into an area containing silicone may increase inflammation and make repair more difficult. Always have an assessment and a plan first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can silicone be removed with laser or liposuction?

Liquid silicone is embedded in the tissue, so suction or laser cannot remove it completely and carries a risk of inflammation. Surgery is the main treatment.

I don't know whether I was injected with silicone or filler. What should I do?

Start with an ultrasound, which can help give an initial distinction between HA filler, silicone and oil.
