massive embolism syndrome, organic siliciumAbstract
Aesthetic procedures performed by non medical personnel are increasing in frequency. Many are not medical controlled and cause side effects from mild to serious. We present the case of a 29-year-old woman, with no relevant health problems, who went to a aesthetics center to have organic silicon injected into her buttocks to increase volume, developing later a massive pulmonary embolism syndrome.
