What Is Silicone?
Silicones are a family of chemical compounds. They are made from silicon, a naturally occurring element found in sand, quartz, and rock. Silicones can be made in various forms, including oils, gels, and solids.
Silicones have been part of the consumer and medical world for over 80 years. Medical devices utilizing silicones include- artificial joints, catheters, facial implants, tissue expanders, and breast implants. Silicone products are biocompatible, reliable, flexible, and easy to sterilize, making them an excellent choice for both implantable and non-implantable medical devices.
Silicone Gel Breast Implant History and Safety
The 29-year-old single mother of six had never given much thought to her breast size. But when a plastic surgeon at Jefferson Davis, Houston’s charity hospital, offered to bring her up to a C-cup free of charge, Timmie Jean Lindsey said yes. It was 1962 and Lindsey quietly became the world’s first recipient of modern breast implants. “She trusted us without any hesitation,” recalled Dr. Thomas Biggs, a member of the surgical team that devised and delivered the medical innovation. “She knew it was a new product nobody had ever used before.” “I never regretted it,” she said, although she conceded it was an adjustment to re-enter the world with a full chest.
Since then, tens of millions of women have undergone breast implant surgery for augmentation and reconstruction. Breast implants have become one of the world’s most widely used and studied devices in the history of medicine. Silicone gel breast implants have a silicone elastomer outer shell and are filled with a thick silicone gel. The silicone gel inside the breast implant is a very thick material, like thick gelatin. The silicone fill material is a “cohesive” substance, it is thick and does not run like a fluid.
In 2011 the FDA issued a follow-up report on the most recent data regarding the safety of silicone implants. The recent data confirmed the earlier findings that silicone gel implants are safe for breast augmentation. All women over the age of 22, that are suitable candidates for breast augmentation surgery, are eligible for silicone gel filled breast implants.
Cohesive, Gummy Bear, Silicone Implants
All the implants used by Dr. Connall are 5th and 6th generation silicone implants which are filled with a thick silicone material. This gel material is thick and bulges little if the implant shell is disrupted and has a consistency like gummy bear candies.
