Do you know what i mean?
As a plastic surgeon in Vancouver, I would not recommend silicone injections due to the significant health risks involved. Here is a more detailed response:
Silicone injections, also known as "liquid silicone," are an injectable cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of silicone directly into the skin or soft tissues of the body. This procedure is not approved by the FDA in North America and is considered an unsafe and unregulated practice that can lead to serious complications.
The primary concern with silicone injections is the risk of silicone migration, where the injected silicone can travel to other parts of the body and cause granulomas (inflammatory nodules), scarring, disfigurement, and even life-threatening complications. Silicone injections have been linked to a range of adverse effects, including infection, allergic reactions, organ damage, and the development of autoimmune disorders.
Additionally, the silicone used in these procedures is often of dubious quality and may be contaminated with impurities or diluted with other substances, further increasing the risk of complications. The procedure is typically performed by unlicensed, unqualified individuals in unsterile environments, which greatly increases the risk of infection and other complications.
Instead of silicone injections, I would recommend considering safer and more regulated cosmetic procedures, such as FDA-approved dermal fillers or implants performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. These procedures are associated with a lower risk of complications and are subject to strict quality control and safety standards.
It is important to note that the decision to undergo any cosmetic procedure should be made carefully, with a full understanding of the risks and benefits. Patients should always consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can provide personalized advice and guidance on the safest and most appropriate course of action.
In conclusion, I strongly advise against silicone injections due to the significant health risks involved. Patients should instead consider safer and more regulated cosmetic procedures performed by licensed and qualified medical professionals. The health and safety of the patient should always be the top priority.
