Injectable fluid silicone- Human morbidity and mortality- 1975

Update: I recently found an abstract published by the Journal of the American Medical Association
( JAMA) dated October 20, 1975. Which states the following:

Injectable fluid silicone - Human morbidity and mortality.
JAMA. 1975 Oct 20;234(3):308-9.
Ellenbogen R, Rubin L.

Four patients who had received silicone injections had the following
complications: migration, hepatic disease manifested as granulomatous hepatitis
(previously undescribed, to our knowledge), hypopigmentation, and death. Silicone
should now be considered as a possible cause of hepatic granulomas in an
appropriate host.
