Rapper Cardi B admitted that when she was 21 she went to a basement in Queens New York and had silicone injections into her buttocks to make them bigger. Silicone injections to the soft tissue of the buttocks have become epidemic since the cost of the injections are much cheaper than popular Brazilian Butt Lifts performed with one's transplanted fat. Although seemingly benign, the longterm costs of silicone are staggering according to a new FDA Advisory against silicone injections.
"Cardi B was likely injected with either silicone or Biopolymers," says Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian. "Injecting silicone from the soft tissue of the buttocks and hips can lead to longterm granulomas, skin changes, and fibrosis of the fat. The goal of therapy is to remove as much of the illegal filler as quickly as possible." Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian.
Treatment of liquid silicone injections is possible with minimal-invasive techniques employed by Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian. Schedule a consultation today in Los Angeles.
