Silicone Granulomas: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2025, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Liquid Injectable Silicone (LIS) has become a widely utilized material in various cosmetic interventions such as body contouring and enhancement. While these applications often yield positive aesthetic and functional outcomes, the use of silicone is not without risks, earning an FDA warning. This cautionary stance prompts some patients to seek LIS treatment from unlicensed practitioners inside and outside of the US. Adverse effects of LIS use can vary, from infections, necrosis and embolization. Silicone-induced granulomas, though infrequently reported, represent a challenging complication that can manifest in the aftermath of cosmetic procedures acutely and many years later. This case report aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on silicone-induced granulomas by presenting a unique clinical case.
