Doctor Tompi Affirms Ban On Incorporating Liquid Silicone Into The Body, Enters Criminal Acts

The injection of liquid silicon into the human body turned out to be a criminal act. In fact, there are still many people who insert liquid silicon for aesthetic purposes.

"Injecting silicon liquid into the human body, nose, breasts, buttocks, face area, penis, is criminal, It's not allowed," said reconstruction and aesthetic plastic surgery specialist Dr. Teuku Adifitrian, Sp.BP-RE, or better known as Dr. Tompi.

According to Tompi, silicon liquid injected into the human body will cause uncontrollable reactions, such as swelling and flow of silicon into other parts of the body.

As a result, he continued, the skin can be damaged and the body shape becomes erratic because it continues to swell. If liquid silicon is injected into the face area, for example, the face becomes hanging.

"The face is hanging like that. We can see this phenomenon like the phenomenon of the faces of the injection victims in transvestites," said Tompi. "So, yes, you can't inject liquid silicon into the human body. That's it, whatever the reason," he said.

The graduate of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (FKUI) said that high cohesive silicon implants are a safe choice.

"Unlike the high cohesive silicon implant as used in breast implants, it's already a medical grade, not a liquid but in capsules. There is also an implant silicon in the nose or chin to replace the bone structure, it's also safe because of the medical grade, the goods are also solid, not liquid," Tompi continued, quoted from ANTARA, Tuesday, May 13.

Tompi said, actually there are many modalities that can be used as material in the field of aesthetics. One thing he recommends is to use materials that come from the body itself.

"We can use fat, we can use other networks, vulnerable bones, and others that can be moved around our bodies. Even if we have to use the help of foreign objects, use objects that have a medical grade," said Tompi.

In addition, Tompi also suggested that in carrying out aesthetic actions including silicon implants, make sure the one who handles it is a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who is an expert in his field.
