Dangerous Curves Ahead



In 1991, AEGIS, our preceding organization, created the first of a series of public service announcements, called “Dangerous Curves Ahead,” on the issue of injectible silicone use. This advertisement remains timely today, and we’ve included it on this website as originally printed. We’ve also included additional materials on injectible silicone, in English and en Español.
