You say you've been warned. Are you just concentrating on the positive aspects of getting "juiced" and ignoring the dangers because this is something you really want to do?
I'm not against body mod, but there has to be a balance between the desire to mod and your personal safety. |
I understand you completely. I am not just concentrating on the positive aspects of silicone. Someone who was an online friend of mine had a bad reaction to silicone. He went to someone that is not a doctor and had a massive amount injected all at once. Shortly thereafter he became sick with flu-like symptoms and had to go to the hospital because he was having problems breathing. It was probably because of the large amount he received and his body was unable to encapsulate the silicone fast enough. It is also possible that it was injected into a vein. Either way it migrated into his lungs. Causing something very similar to pneumonia which was the medical diagnosis. He did recover from it thankfully.
So in some cases silicone can migrate into organs, impure silicone can harden, and years later some people can become sensitive to the silicone and a firm nodule or lump can form around it.
So I am not just focusing on the positive. I also know that some people may be thinking why is silicone injections in the genitals safe when so many women had issues with silicone when it leaked from implants. The answer to this is location. The blood flow and circulatory system in your groin is much different than it is in your chest or other areas of the body. Gravity also plays a big portion in keeping silicone from moving around. When silicone leaks from an implant it is very close to your heart and lungs which circulate blood to your entire body. This is not the case in your groin. I would not have silicone injected into any other area than the groin. The location of the groin, it's distance from the heart and lungs, and the simple function of gravity are the main reasons why silicone injections to the male genitals are safer than silicone used in some other places. Silicone injected in the face, arms, legs, butt, etc. can all drift out of place over time because of gravity. I don't think this happens a lot because the collagen capsule that forms around the silicone usually ends up adhering to the tissues around it. That is why removing silicone is so difficult. But silicone implants and injections in certain parts of the body can move out of place over time.
Having the procedure done by a medical doctor gives you access to medical grade silicone which is tested for impurities like water which can cause hardening. A doctor will also monitor how much is injected and will not administer more than what he thinks is safe. Also being a brown skin person, the risk that I will have some sort of reaction to silicone immediately or down the road is greatly reduced. But noting is 100%
