Quite a number of guys have questions about how to care for their silicone after injection. We'll add to this list over time:
Massage is crucial
The most important thing to do after any silicone enhancement is daily massage. And for the first two weeks after injection this should be done at least 3 times a day. Once the bandages are off and the injection sites have sealed, continue the massage in a warm/hot bath tub for at least one of the massage seasons each day. After the two weeks it’s still important to regularly massage the area.
Injection sites that are slow to heal
If you removed the bandages too soon and the injection site(s) haven’t healed completely, you’ll need to cover them back up, so have these items ready BEFORE removing your bandages: liquid bandage solution (from the pharmacy), small piece of a cotton ball, bandage tape, rubbing alcohol. To reseal the open site, quickly swab it with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball, brush on the liquid bandage solution, place the cotton ball piece on top and cover with the bandage tape. Allow the site to continue healing for the next 2-3 days before removing.
bruising may happen
Bruising and tenderness is a common effect from injecting silicone. Levels of bruising depends upon your physiology. Some people bruise more than others. If you are experiencing symptoms beyond the normal bruising and tenderness, you may require medical attention.
some guys may experience slight nausea
Within the 24-48 hour period following injection, you may experience some form of nausea. This is normal and is not caused by the silicone. Receiving injection(s) can be physically and mentally stressful. This is your body responding to the stress. Take a pain reliever, relax and it will pass.
the strong possibility of lumps / strange shaping
Lumps within the silicone pocket are masses of silicone and scar tissue. The textbooks call them granulomas. In general they are harmless and many enhanced men accept them. To dissipate them there are two options: (1) massage them daily (the massaging more of a pinching technique. Do it firmly, but ease back if there’s pain), preferably while soaking in a warm/hot bath tub, or (2) seek out a doctor who can inject them with a cortisone steroid to help break them up.
Changes in the circulatory system
Though silicone is an inert substance that is neither dead or alive, the body senses the new addition(s) and will build a circulatory system of veins and arteries throughout the lumps and augmented areas of silicone. The body thinks it needs the circulatory system to keep this unknown mass now encapsulated alive. For this reason the medical community needs to be aware before any surgery is done around silicone areas. Also, it is another reason why self-injecting is hazardous since it now becomes much easier to accidentally inject silicone into a blood vessel, causing an embolism.
