  • Title: Reactions at silicone-injected sites on the face associated with silicone breast implant "inflammation" or "rejection".
    Author: Fisher AA.
    Journal: Cutis; 1990 Jun; 45(6):393-5. PubMed ID: 2350974.
    Abstract:
    Although complications in various parts of the body have been suggested as being produced when silicone mammary implants are "rejected" or produce inflammation, there have apparently been no reports describing "flares" at previous sites of facial silicone injections as complications of mammary silicone implants. Such reactions appear to be comparable to so-called "systemic contact dermatitis." However, in the absence of results of skin testing, the mechanism of such "ectopic" flares remains in doubt.
