Silicone Injections: Not What You Think!

The parties may not even be held in a doctor's office - common locations include personal homes and hotel rooms, which should be a major red flag. Because the silicone may not be medical grade or industrial grade - or may be cut with lard, Crisco or even baby oil - there are serious health hazards. Risks include lumps that can't be corrected, infections, skin ulcerations and deadly blood clots. The procedure has been getting press lately due to some deaths attributed to it, but often, the ill effects of pumping aren't seen until years later when the silicone starts migrating from the site of injection. It may save a few bucks, but pumping can be a lethal process to undergo. It's best to find a board-certified plastic surgeon who can use FDA-approved injectables in a medical setting. It may cost more initially, but in the long run, it could save more than money.
