Free Silicon/Gel Injections into Butt or Any Skin on the Other Body Part, Leads to More Risks Than Scare or So?

Question

Will they lead to cancer? As I had seen answers to leave them at best as long as it can be, but I would like to know, leaving at that will cause any issue besides pain, scare and whatnot? Thanks in advance. John

Free silicone injections anywhere in the body (especially high volume such as the buttock) very commonly leads to complications, many which are serious such as infection, migration, extrusion, hardening, severe pain, and even embolization to the heart, brain, and lungs which have lead to deadly outcomes.  Although I am not aware of any reports of cancer caused by free silicone injections, the above noted complications are serious enough to prevent usage of free silicone just about anywhere in the body especially the buttock.  Glad to help...

The injections can lead to whole variety of issues, some of which can be very serious as others have mentioned.         I perform about 500 
Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this procedure
 is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure.  Find a 
plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of 
Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's 
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can 
deliver the results.

AS far as I know free silicone is inert and should not cause cancer.  But free silicone injections can be a problema leading to tissue necrosis, inflammation, and infection as the most common problems.

The Brazilian Butt Lift (liposuction of your lower back, waist, abdomen, etc, and injection of this fat into your buttocks) is a SAFE, effective buttock augmentation technique.  I STRONGLY suggest you avoid any alternative injections (I have seen men and women with liquid silicone injected into their buttocks with HORRIBLE results and complications, wounds, infections, etc).If you're interested in buttock augmentation surgery, I suggest you visit with an experienced Board Certified PLASTIC SURGEON.I hope that helps and wish you all the best!

Free silicone injections are illegal injection, the silicone is NOT medical grade and when done by lay person, one does not know exactly what was injected. Silicone injections can cause granulomas reaction, infection, extrusion, severe inflammatory reaction, pigmentation, pain, deformity, migration to local lymph nodes. Injected silicone cannot be taken out completely, but can remove most of it, thus decreasing the load of silicone.
