Silicone Injections

Postby RA4 » Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:06 am

Hello I just recently had silicone injections done in the facial area for depressed acne scars. So far I love the results! I see dramatic improvement! Now this might be a stupid question but I over heard from someone that certain medications and a hospital IV can flush out or dissolve the silicone from the body because it is a foreign substance, or make it migrate. Is this true? I wouldn't want to lose the silicone and my awesome results as I was recently hospitalized for kidney stones.

that sounds a bit far fetched to me. never heard such a thing. ask the person if he/she saw an alien talk to him/her. just kidding. :ugeek: :geek:
