Comment on What somebody with cosmetic plastic surgery gets injured, does the plastic "spill out" or get seen?

IIRC, cosmetics are typically bags of saline (salt water) placed under the muscle. I don’t believe the effect touch at all. With significant trauma, the bag would rupture, the saline would leak out and get absorbed in the surrounding tissue, and would need to be removed.

Oh, so they’re way down below the muscle mass? Did not know that. And yikes, salt water leaking out into your inner bits sounds bad.

We are basically bags of salt water already.

As the other person said, it would be fine. It’s 0.9% salt, which is the same concentration as your blood. It wouldn’t be bad
