The medical aesthetics industry has developed rapidly in recent years, providing more ways for people to pursue beauty. Silicone oil has been widely used in this field, but over time, its potential risks have gradually emerged, making the application of silicone oil in the medical aesthetics field an exploratory path with both opportunities and risks.

In breast augmentation surgery, silicone oil was once widely used as a filling material. It has good fluidity and plasticity, which can help shape a natural and beautiful breast shape. However, with the accumulation of clinical cases, the disadvantages of silicone oil breast augmentation have gradually become apparent. Due to the certain fluidity of silicone oil, it may shift within human tissues. For example, some patients may experience problems such as asymmetrical breast shapes and local indurations after a period of time after surgery. These indurations not only affect the aesthetics but may also cause pain and discomfort. In addition, silicone oil may trigger the human immune response. When silicone oil enters human tissues, the immune system may recognize it as a foreign body and then initiate the immune defense mechanism. This may lead to local tissue inflammatory reactions, and in severe cases, it may even affect the normal functions of surrounding tissues and organs.

To ensure the safety and health of consumers, governments and regulatory agencies around the world have strictly regulated the application of silicone oil in the medical aesthetics industry. Many countries clearly prohibit the direct injection of liquid silicone oil into human tissues and have established strict approval procedures and quality standards for the use of silicone - based filling materials. At the same time, the medical aesthetics industry is constantly exploring safer and more effective alternative materials, such as silicone gel prostheses. When using silicone - based products, doctors need to fully evaluate the individual conditions of patients, weigh the potential risks and treatment effects, and ensure that high - quality medical aesthetics services are provided to patients on the premise of safety.
