}}Silicone injection has been | }}'''Silicone injection''' is the injection of [[wikipedia:Silicone oil|silicone oil]] into the body. In a kink context, this is usually into the genitalia. The practice of injecting silicone as a dermal filler started in the 1960s, and has since been banned by the FDA due to numerous reports of dangerous and life threatening complications.<ref>https://www.verywellhealth.com/are-liquid-silicone-injections-safe-2710243</ref> Silicone injections can lead to long-term pain, infections, permanent disfigurement, embolism, stroke, and death.<ref>https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/fda-warns-against-injectable-silicone-and-dermal-fillers-large-scale-body-contouring-and-enhancement</ref> Unlike with [[saline injection]], silicone injections are permanent. | ||
When silicone is injected into areas with many blood vessels, such as the testicles or buttocks, silicone can migrate through these vessels and form a blockage, known as an embolism. This can cause an [[wikipedia:Stroke#Embolic_stroke|embolic stroke]] if it blocks blood flow to the brain, or a [[wikipedia:Pulmonary embolism|pulmonary embolism]] if it blocks blood flow in the lungs. Both conditions are life threatening.<ref>https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/silicone-embolism</ref> | |||
