silicone implants
Cosmetic surgical inserts
Silicone implants are medical devices filled with silicone gel, inserted surgically to augment or reconstruct body parts—most commonly breasts, but also buttocks, calves, or facial features.
Breast implants may be cosmetic or reconstructive after mastectomy: She got silicone implants after her cancer surgery.
Distinguished from saline implants, which use saltwater filling.
