Fw: 4 Comments on: Silicone Injection Parties ...

[Guest guest]

I want to add my own comments as well. Yesterday at the hearing on silicone

induced illness in Las Vegas, there were many women there who were

injectees. Very sick group of ladies. One in particular I will never

forget. I was told that this lady had silicone injections in her face (for

cheek implants). Her face looked like it was wasting away, it looked like

either her bones or her muscles had atrophied and her cheeks were sunken way

in.....I couldn't imagine having to live with that for the rest of my

life...
