Silicone surgery<\/p>\n
I have just returned from lecturing and demonstrating
\ndermatologic surgical techniques at hospitals and universities in
\nSumatra. While there, I read with great interest your lead
\narticle in the Sunday, May 6, 2001 paper on silicone.<\/p>\n
I was privileged to be invited to do surgery on multiple
\nladies with impure silicone reactions while in Solo Tampil
\nmenarik tanpa silikon (Beauty without silicone). I was a keynote
\nspeaker on the subject "Complications of silicone injections" and
\n"Beauty without complications of silicone" at a seminar in
\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
The problems evolve not from properly administered pure
\nmedical grade silicone, but from the impure and adulterated
\nproducts arriving from China, Taiwan and Thailand, your writers
\nhave determined. However, pure silicone products are used
\nthroughout the medical world by a variety of specialists, and it
\npanics people to misinterpret this fact.<\/p>\n
Artificial impact organs of a variety of types are used
\nsuccessfully, including breast, testes, chin, nose, ureter, etc.
\nAll are pure, placed in sterile fashion, and excellent for their
\nrespective intended uses. Recent use of a heavy liquid silicone
\nfor eye implant work has gone on successfully, and additional new
\nproducts are on the horizon. But none of these are impure,
\nadulterated or non-sterile, as found in Indonesia, and all are
\nplaced by physicians rather than lay operators.<\/p>\n
A comment from a plastic surgeon, Dr. Yefta Moenadjat, quoted
\nin your paper, is incorrect. Collagen injections do not stimulate
\n"the formation of natural collagen after each injection". There
\nis a minimal fibrotic reaction to the bovine (cow skin) product
\nin some humans, but reliable and permanent collagen is not lain
\ndown after each injection.<\/p>\n
Having personally participated in the original clinical
\nstudies on the product these many years ago, biopsy studies of
\ninjected sites failed to confirm Dr. Yefta's claim. Your reading
\npublic is advised to consult with knowledgeable
\ndermatologists\/dermatologic surgeons when any foreign materials
\nare to be injected into or on their skin.<\/p>\n
