Re: From A Friend: 'NBCSanDiego.com - Local News - Silicone Solution'

[Guest guest]

Thanks Rogene on an enlightening story. I never knew that Sculptra or Restylane had any silicone in them at all! Did I read this wrong? Thanks for the info.

One of our friends had silicone injected at the bridge of his nose years ago when a small cancer was removed . . . The silicone has migrated to the nostrils! . . . He's experiencing symptoms like we have!

No . . . They don't contain silicone! Thank Goodness!

" Sculptra, Collagen and Restylane are three products

used to plump up lines, lips and to treat acne scars.

The results from these products are temporary,

however. Silicone's effects, on the other hand, are

permanent. "

Thanks. I wasn't sure how I was reading that. How can they allow silicone back on the market as a filler?!Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: No . . . They don't contain silicone! Thank Goodness!

It beats me! . . .

There's a gimic that's used called " off label uses " .

... If a product is approved for ANYTHING, it can be

used for other purposes. Silicone has long been used,

in tiny amounts for other things . . . I guess all

they have to do is to keep stretching the facts to see

how far they can go!

There's a lot of money out there dedicated to keeping

this on the market. All we can do is to keep

contacting our congressmen/women, writing letters and

spreading the truth.

I undrestand that silicone is used in punctal plugs, hip joints, etc. I didn't know they could inject it into the skin. I thought that was banned years ago.Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: It beats me! . . . There's a gimic that's used called "off label uses" ...

I was told by either Leonard (FDA), or

Zuckerman, that silicone injections for certain

purposes have always been legal. . .

That doesn't mean they're safe.

On the other hand, the so called " safe " injections use

a very small amount of silicone. Nothing like the

amount in a breast implant. If one were to get sick

from it, it's unlikely the connection to the injection

would ever be made - unless you've seen the number of

women we have in the support groups with the same

issues!
