Are silicone injections actually safe?

Postby Rilian » Thu Apr 30, 2009 12:26 am

I have seen some major horror stories on television about silicone injections and how they've caused deaths, tumors, and tissue damage. In those reports, the problem was the use of industrial grade silicone rather than medical grade silicone.

Still, I'm spooked and cautious of any permanent filler such as silicone, even if its medical grade. Can you explain how the liquid silicone you use is safe? There seems to be a lot of confusion about this, and it'd be great to get your explanation and clarification about this. Thank you.
