Question 1

if i have silicone contacts and i touch the contact and then my tongue would i have a allergic reaction? i do havesilicone allergy if it's in my mouth

Accepted Answer

Rare: I suspect you are allergic to other substance instead of silicone.  If you are indeed allergic to silicone , it is unlikely that you would tolerate the contact without intense eye itching and swelling. Thus the tongue reaction would be an impossible event.

Question 2

genioplasty, been 2 weeks going back to get my silicone taken out from nostrils after rhinoplasty/ sutures in mouth, chin area, will it hurt removing?

Accepted Answer

Suture removal: You may feel some pulling but it is not excessively painful to remove sutures- or an implant.

Question 3

during sex is silicone sexual lubricants safe to digest? i am not sure how much would be digested through the mouth during sex, foreplay and etc, but curious if toxic.

Accepted Answer

See below : As far as I know, the majority of lubricants (water, silicone, or oil-based) that are designed to be used with sex are also safe for oral ingestion. Some lubricants come flavored, designed to enhance oral sex. Each of the various types of lubricants have potential pros and cons and it is worthwhile researching the various types and experimenting with them. Perhaps, variety is the spice of life!

Question 4

can silicone interdental pick cause black triangle between teeth? i ask this because when i started to use them, it hardly went in my front teeth as there was no gap but now it can go in and can see a little black triangle. could i have caused damage?

Accepted Answer

: You've asked so many questions regarding these embrasures. The picks themselves would caused no damage. I you misused them and used frequent, excessive force, there may be a slight contributing factor. Bone loss is the usual cause and I'm confident by this time you have the answer to that question.

Question 5

why does it take so long for the redness from a popped zit under the lip border to go away? does daily silicone gel for a few weeks help?

Accepted Answer

It is because: A zit is a localized skin infection.  The redness at the base is caused by this local infection.  It will take time for the body to clear this infection, and once it does, the redness should start to resolve.  Simple soap and water to keep the area clean should help speed the process along.

Question 6

1 year ago my lips got inflamed and it formed an open wound on my upper lip.now it left a scar thats slightly raised and redder than my lip.will this flatten?am how can i make it go away?also does silicone sheets work for this problem?

Accepted Answer

: I would see a Dermatologist about this. Or a plastic surgeon. Difficult place to treat scars.

Question 7

i got stitches from top lip laceration 17 days ago. surgeon said to use badger lip balm with spf 15 24/7, 2 weeks after and oil massage 3 weeks after. is it ok to add silicone gel with spf daily and silicone sheet nightly to routine? if so when can i?

Accepted Answer

: You have been given specific post operative instructions which should be followed to the letter. If you have questions you need to ask the surgeon for exact alternative care instructions.

Question 8

soaked mouth pieces in fresh guard for longer than 10 mins on accident should i worry about health concern and using them in my mouth, the retainers?

Accepted Answer

Should be ok: i won't worry about it.  Just make sure that you rinse your retainer multiple times with water to remove any residues.

Question 9

i had 1 set of buttocks non medical silicone  injections 3 years ago. i am wondering  what i should  be expecting as in health risks .?

Accepted Answer

Silicone Injection: I do not personally perform silicone injections, mostly because this is something that is extremely difficult to reverse without leaving a significant scar. I have seen many problems with these injections in the buttocks, particularly granulomas and infections. These can be lifelong problems. If you notice redness, warmth or drainage from your buttocks, see your injector or go to the er.

Question 10

what effect does silicone and chlorine do to a person's health?

Accepted Answer

Depends on dose : Silicon is inert and has been shown to not adversely affect ones health. Chlorine in low doses is beneficial to your health as it keeps your water supply free of harmful bacteria. Higher doses of chlorine can cause asthma like symptoms if inhaled and can poison you if ingested .
