Read the silicone injection disaster of Precilla Presley the wife of Elvis Presley.
On the hands of an experienced cosmetic surgeon such as Dr Nimal Gamage with thousands of satifsfied patients and over 12000 total procedures under his belt you can't go wrong. Your own fat brings new blood vessel growth and can survice for a very long time while rejuvenating your skin due to the stem cells present in your storage fat. In effect you are getting a stem cell graft when you use storage fat in Abdomen, Thighs, Back or underarm regions to graft. the antiaging effects of a fat graft can be much cheaper than the temporary filler injections which increase your aging process. For example a mini fat graft with 10cc of fat costs 60000 rupees compared to 350,000 rupees for 10cc of restylane injections. With a mini fat graft the post op swelling is the same and recovery is faster. Your skin does not take a bluish artificial hue like in artificiall fillers. Properly placed fat always provide the best color to the skin. Minifat graft can be done under one hour. You can call +94772300454 for more information.
Before and after fat grafting. Two years later the patient looks
prettier and much younger.
After four fat grafts and lipo of chin and jowls patient looks
much prettier two and a half years later.
Now with minifatgrafts which can be done under one hour you don't havge to go for collagen, restylane , silicone or other artificial fillers which can halm you and age you faster in the long run.
Vanity has a price, they say. That couldn't be
truer for some unhappy women and men who have used liquid,
injected silicone to enhance their beauty, only to experience
health problems or deformities years later.
In New York, dermatologist Amy Newberger has treated a number of
older women who, 20 or 30 years ago, had small amounts of
silicone injected under the skin in order to plump out facial
wrinkles. For most patients, silicone didn't present problems.
But for some, the silicone hardened over time and became more
pronounced.
Newberger describes one patient who had injections when she was
in her 40s. As the patient reached her 60s, her skin started to
thin, a normal process of aging. "But the silicone didn't thin,"
says Newberger, "so the patient was left with ridges where she
had wrinkles." The permanent raised ridges of silicone became
discolored and now, Newberger says, the patient looks like a "klingon."
Once silicone hardens, it can also migrate to other parts of the
body. Newberger has a number of patients who have lumps and
bumps on their cheeks and other parts of their face as a result
of the silicone moving away from the initial site of injection.
Newberger says problems like these just can't be predicted. Many
patients are fine for years; no one knows why certain patients
eventually have problems.
Regulation And Controversy
Silicone is a synthetic rubberlike substance that is not
metabolized by the body. Silicone gel implants are approved by
the Food and Drug Administration for use in breast
reconstruction or augmentation. Medical grade silicone is also
approved to treat complicated retinal detachments. It literally
holds the retina in place until it reattaches to the inner
surface of the eye. The silicone, says FDA spokesperson Siobhan
DeLancey, is not intended to remain in the eye permanently. She
says that in most cases, it should be removed within a year
after surgery.
Silicone injections for cosmetic treatments are not approved by
the FDA, but physicians may still provide the treatments.
Silicone is considered a medical device by the agency and, since
it is approved to treat retinal detachment, DeLancey says,
health care professionals may use it for other purposes.
Dermatologist David Orentreich practices in New York City. He
says that when silicone is used in extremely tiny quantities,
called microdroplets, the substance isn't dangerous and is
highly effective in removing the appearance of wrinkles.
Orentreich says that practitioners must be skilled at injecting
the silicone, and it must be pure. He says problems can occur
when the silicone is not pure or when it is injected improperly.
But the procedure is controversial, and dermatologists like
Newberger argue that silicone is potentially dangerous and
should not be used at all as an anti-wrinkle treatment.
Silicone Injection Disaster
An Underground Business
Some doctors say they have heard from patients that silicone
injections are given at so-called pumping parties. They say
injections typically are given by people who call themselves
cosmetologists, or they are self-administered by individuals
attending the party.
According to these physicians and some media accounts, the
practice is most common among young transgender individuals who
are born male but who feel deeply female and are receiving
medical treatment to change gender.
Dr. Marvin Belzer heads the transgender center at the adolescent
medicine division of the Los Angeles Childrens Hospital. He sees
dozens of adolescents who are "transitioning" to the opposite
gender. If the individual is under 18, there is a year of
counseling and discussions with parents, after which patients
can begin a regimen of hormones to decrease or increase certain
male or female hormones.
Silicone Injection Disaster
Such hormone treatment can take years, and many patients just
don't want to wait that long, Belzer says. They are young and
impatient, he says, and silicone offers immediate results,
especially for those who want to live as women, plumping out
buttocks, thighs and breasts to give a more curvaceous female
appearance.
Dr. Nick Gorton, an emergency room doctor who treats transgender
patients at the Lyon-Martin Health Services clinic in San
Francisco, says he often tries to tell his patients that hormone
treatment is a long-term process. He tells them, "We're trying
to give you a lifetime of the body that feels right to you and
feels normal to you, so slow and steady wins the race." Many
patients, however, just don't listen.

cooking oil and got a horrible result.
Party Injections Cause Health Problems
When people get injected with silicone at pumping parties,
Gorton says "there is no way to verify if they're using
medical-grade silicone. You can go to hardware stores and buy a
big tub of it," he says. "The element is the same, but it's just
not the same safety or purity or quality."
Here is silicone injections gone horribly wrong.
And Belzer says silicone is often mixed with other chemicals.
"Who knows what they're really putting in there as filler," he
says. "As long as it's partially thick, not real watery, it will
fill up the skin and make it the shape they want it."
Belzer says he has sometimes seen patients hospitalized with
severe infection or burns, some with their skin literally
sloughing off as a result of mixing silicone with some unknown,
toxic substance. "It can be really miserable," he says.
This girls pretty face got disfigured permanently from silicone
injections.
In the worst case, a piece of silicone can break off and enter
the bloodstream or the lung, causing a deadly embolism. There
have been a number of silicone-related deaths, including a
43-year-old woman who died this past March due to a silicone
embolism in her lungs. A study from the University of Texas
Health Science Center in San Antonio, reported at the 2006
annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America,
found that dozens of patients who received liquid silicone
injections died from pulmonary silicone embolism.
