I wish I could do silikon 1000 for my scars too but they dont offer it in australia and many doctors say its very risky later on granulomas lumps etc?

Bump

I heard good things about Dr. Benham's filler skills on acne scars, but I don't know if he offers silicone 1000

You can see Dr. Jason Emer. He charges at least 1.5x the average rate and he'll try to convince you that you need 5 other treatments.

Good luck! Many doctors will not inject Silicone 1000 and I don't know any other popular ones that do.

There's Dr Lam in Dallas. He's really good with that, but not near you of course

How come? If thats the only service Im willing to pay for and they offer it why would they deny the money?

Dr. Kass says:

"The use of Silikon 1000 is controversial and this material is not approved by the FDA as a dermal filler. Because of this, and because some doctors have said that they have seen bad outcomes, the use of Silikon 1000 as a filler is not uniformly accepted. Personally, I have used it for well over ten years and I have not seen the results that others claim to have. I trained with a physician who had used it for over forty years who said the same thing. In my experience, Silikon 1000 is almost an ideal dermal filler with long-lasting, if not permanent results."

There are some doctors who don't want to get into anything that even touches upon being a risk. The money you pay them is not going to sway them. It's like Bellafill. Many doctors use it and say it's safe. I went to two dermatologists who won't use them.

Let's be real. You are one patient and their practice willflourish without you. They won't get many patients asking for that product.

Well i d be carefull if some drs claims he s doing any treatment for years and havent seen single problem , its a lie . Btw even rullan has some bad reviews on Google with silicone 

I wouldnt advice using any permanent fillers like silikon and bellafill esp on your facemay develop nodules or some autoimmune response in the future.
