FDA warnings about unapproved fillers
The FDA has not approved injectable silicone or any injectable fillers for body contouring or enhancement. The FDA has warned against getting filler injected into the breasts, buttocks, or spaces between the muscles. Using injectable filler for large-scale body contouring or body enhancement can lead to serious injury, including long-term pain, infection, permanent scarring or disfigurement, and even death. The FDA has not approved needle-free devices for the injection of dermal fillers and warns against using them to inject hyaluronic acid or other lip and facial fillers. The injectors use high pressure and do not provide enough control over where filler will be placed. Serious injuries and in some cases, permanent harm to the skin, lips or eyes have occurred. The FDA also warns against buying or using lip or facial fillers that are sold directly to the public. They are not FDA approved and may be contaminated with chemicals and infectious organisms. The only FDA-approved dermal fillers are supplied by a prescription for injection by a licensed health care professional using a syringe with a needle or a cannula (a small flexible tubing with a blunt tip that is inserted under the skin).

Silicone has to enter the bloodstream for emboli to occur, and that only happens with leaking implants.

I basically agree with your cautions, but the OP says that pregnancies are put at risk by lip-filler injections.

True, and thanks for the links. My beef is with Krassenstein for what he implies:

That is absolutely incorrect - silicone injections are NOT approved for cosmetic use, and for a reason
