ABSTRACT
The desire to comply with certain patterns of beauty has led to that the infiltration of substances for modeling purposes. Symptoms and pathology related to the infiltration of modeling substances in a series of consecutive cases treated in a multidisciplinary way, from January 1999 to October 2009 in the General Hospital of México are described. In the study 279 patients were included: 234 women and 45 men of 21 to 81 years-old, who infiltrated mineral oil, silicone, guaiac, vegetable oil substances, automobile oil, bovine fat, and vitamins, among others. The amount infiltrated was from 10 mL to 10 liters. The sites that were infiltrated area: buttocks, breasts, legs, thighs, hips, face, and others. The appearance of symptoms was registered from the first month, up to 18 years after the infiltration of these substances. Local demonstrations were hyperemia, pain, nodules, thickening of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, hyperpigmentation, venous neoformations, migration of the substance infiltrated and others. Systemic symptoms were fever, arthralgia and myalgia, among others. 14.2% developed connective tissue diseases. Although its true prevalence and incidence are unknown, currently it represents a serious public health problem in countries such as Mexico.
