Hello,
I am a person that was basically used as a Guinea Pig @ UofM. I was born with a birth defect on the right side of my face. This effected my eye, nose, teeth, and cheek area. In the early stages they had planned out an extensive surgery taking a piece hip or rib bone to reconstruct my face. In April 1973 the FDA ruled the liquid silicone was NOT safe to be injected into any soft tissue area. I don't have all my notes i front of me so some dates may be a little off; however they can be confirmed.
I'm new here and I have a very hard time dealing with ravage silicone has done to my body.
In the Fall of 1973 my parents opted to listen to the Dr.'s when they advised them that silicone is so much better than a large scale facial reconstruction. I remember being 11 or 12 years old and the surgery was long and I came out mortified by my looks. They had placed a solid piece of silicone called a silastic implants. My nose was broken and straightened, and the first series of (maybe 20)injection treatments into my face.
To Be Continued because it's making me sick to talk about this. It's very hard for me to talk about and the ravage that silicone has done to my body.
