Back in the mid-1990s silicone breast implants were in the news, largely because of te number of lawsuits against the manufacturers of the device. The major manufacturer, Dow Corning, went bust because of the thousands of lawsuits against it. Silicone is still being used for breast implants, but its popularity has dwindled.
In Venezuela, silicone has been used to enhance buttocks for the past few years. It is estimated that 40,000 have used the procedure. But now there is a backlash, with people complaining that they cannot walk, sit or go to the toilet. Fifteen deaths have been attributed to the procedure.
