Serious Side Effects From Silicone Injections
Health experts have warned people away from using silicone implants. New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene have issued a statement warning against the use of silicone injections.
Silicone is most commonly used in the cosmetic surgery industry in implants such as breast implants. However doctors are increasingly using silicone injections (not implants) for buttock enhancements, facial rejuvenation and in some cases, breast enhancements. The silicone is injected into the skin to plump up the area and reduce the look of wrinkles.
