This waxy substance was used for approximately thirty years, but so many problems developed because of it, including lumps and infections, that it was discontinued. Paraffin was no longer an augmentation source by the year 1920.In 1920, fat injections were tried. The fat was harvested from a woman's excess stores of adipose tissue.
