Although the FDA has never approved liquid silicone for cosmetic indications, some practitioners in the United States are purchasing liquid silicone oil, intended for treatment of retinal detachment, and injecting it for aesthetic purposes. The author discusses this off-label use and provides a historical context for the current FDA-approved clinical study of injectable silicone oil for soft tissue augmentation. (Aesthetic Surg J 2001;21:576-578.).
