Dr. Chris Croley and Jerry Drinkard, NP take on a topic that keeps showing up in the headlines for a reason: illegal silicone injections.

In this episode of Beauty & The Brain, they explain what’s actually happening when someone gets “silicone injections,” why liquid silicone is a totally different situation than silicone implants, and how complications can show up immediately—or years later through chronic inflammation, migration, infection, and even life-threatening events like embolisms.

They also get real about why people still agree to it (cost, convenience, access), how FDA approval helps protect patients (even when the process is frustrating), and the simplest ways to vet your provider—including what transparency should look like in a legit treatment room.

If you’ve ever considered body augmentation, or you just want to understand what’s safe vs sketchy, this one’s a must-listen.

Follow Beauty & The Brain so you never miss a new episode—and share this with someone who needs the red flags before they book the wrong appointment.
