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> | When silicone is injected into areas with many blood vessels, such as the penis, testicles, or buttocks, silicone can migrate through these vessels and form a blockage, known as an embolism.
