“…Dimethylsiloxanes are composed of methane, oxygen and elemental silica. Medical grade silicone gel, introduced by Dow Corning in 1960, was used initially in soft tissue augmentation 44–46 . However, increased reports of adverse reactions, probably because of the presence of contaminants, led to a ban against its use in the USA.…”

The enhanced use of exogenous substances for cosmetic and reconstructive procedures is paralleled by an increase in reports of cutaneous adverse reactions to several of these agents. Recognition of the histological features of these reactions is of importance to both dermatologists and dermatopathologists but is not always easy for several reasons. First, cost-related issues are resulting in an increasing number of these procedures being performed overseas. Thus, patients are often unsure about the exact product used. Compounding this is the fact that practitioners who perform these procedures are not forthright in divulging this information, given that improper substances may be admixed in the filler injected. Furthermore, cutaneous reactions may occur at sites distant from injected sites, secondary to migration of the filler substance and a lapse of months to years may occur prior to the development of a cutaneous reaction. Thus, a causal relationship between the procedure and the reaction is often not made. We present an overview of the histological features of adverse reactions to currently available soft tissue fillers, both in the United States and overseas, in an attempt to enhance awareness of the diversity of these reactions.

“…In contrast, silicone oil is hyperechoic and produces a strong posterior reverberation artifact, an appearance that has been called ''snow storm''. Sonography can assist the detection and identification of the type of filler, and this may be critical when dealing with adverse reactions to these compounds that sometimes can present confusing clinical signs and may mimic other common dermatologic conditions 2,[81][82][83][84][85] (Figs. 27-31).…”

Ten‐Year Experience Using Injectable Silicone Oil for Soft Tissue Augmentation in the Philippines

Abstract: Silicone oil injected with the correct indications and techniques and with microdroplet injections is a safe, economical, and permanent dermal and subcutaneous filler. Rare permanent erythematous papules and transient ecchymoses appear on deep dermal injections.
