Abstract
- Silicone has become one of the most commonly used biomaterials in modern medicine. There are three forms of silicone in medical use: silicone oil, gel, and rubber. Among these, silicone rubbers are used as heart valves, shunts, coatings on pacemakers and implants of cosmetic surgery. In tissues, silicone produces a range of histological reactions depending on the form of silicone. We report a case of a foreign body granuloma due to the prescence of silicone rubber inserted for nasal augmentation fifteen years previously, and review the complications of augmentation rhinoplasty using silicone implants.
