Sillicon is no longer used for breast implants, this is because sillicon is a very toxic Element on the PTOE. It was used up until the lathe 60's, because doctors and such did not know the effects of this element. It worked out in some cases though. If the implant leaked or bursted then you would simply die of sillicon poisoning. Now a days they use a salt water based substance, similar to what you put contacts in, or Visine, like the tears your body produces. If there is a leak with this then it is no harm to your body. Many wemon do like the salt water based solution better because it is more "Jiggaly", more like a natural feeling.

Silicon is used for breast implants and stuff like that
What is silicon found in?
Sand or Breast Implants.
What are the names of some things that silicon is used for?
Silicon is commonly used in the semiconductors of electronics. Silicon compounds are commonly used in breast implants, and cookware. In the form of silica (silicon dioxide) it is the main component of glass and can also be used as a desiccant. Some varieties of quartz, or natural crystalline silica, are used in jewelry.
What are some common uses of silicon?
breast implants
What things from home are made from silicon?
Microprocessors, glass, breast implants, silicon rubber, silicone adhesive.
Can you go on a plane when you have implants?
If you are talking about breast implants, then the answer is yes. Silicon implants have no significant size change in reaction to pressure from either flying or scuba diving.
What are two uses that silicon is put to?
Computer Chips, Breast Implants.
Which cheap breast augmentation options are available in Los Angeles?
The two most popular options for breast implantation are saline implants and silicon implants. Los Angeles has a number of plastic surgeons available to discuss these options as well as the associated costs of each. In general saline implants will be cheaper than silicon implants.
What is silicon used to make?
Silicon is used in many things such as:Eye glassesglasshearing aidsused to make silicone implantsmedicinesbrickscementis in sandmakes up 25.7% of the Earth's crust
Are these the same materials used in silicon computer chips and silicon breast implants?
We have a problem with words here:Silicon is an element, it is used to make computer chips. In its pure form it is a blue/black crystalline solid.Silicone is a type of compound, it is basically a hydrocarbon with some of the carbon atoms replaced with silicon atoms. Different silicones like different hydrocarbons are oils, gels, solids, etc. Silicone oils and gels are used in silicone breast implants. Silicones are also used in glues, caulks, industrial lubricants, and plastics.
Can you go scuba diving with Breast Implants?
As breast implants do not contain compressables (neither saline nor silicon implants contain air), there is no inherent problem presented by SCUBA diving with implants. YOu can indeed SCUBA with implants. Have fun. yes http://www.scuba-doc.com/womdiv.html#Breast%20Implants
How do you inject saline into breasts to enlarge?
never do that. have a doctor do it. that's like implants, but instead of silicon its saline. would you put your own implants in?? i don't think so...
