9. Silcone injections for cosmetic use, are NOT approved by the FDA

FDA warns about illegal use of injectable silicone for body contouring and associated health risks

What has generally BEEN approved are silicone implants, which involves some kind of "bag" or "form" that is filled with silicone (like a breast implant), and is surgically inserted under the skin.

Apparently there ARE such "implants" available for lips, I expect for those who may have had their lips damaged from any myriad of reasons (burns, disease, injuries, birth defects, etc), but that is different from "injecting" the silicone around and in them to make them "look fuller".

There have been numerous reports over the years of mostly women who have died from unlicensed practitioners doing silicone injections.
