Silicone implants can enhance breast size. Silicone breast augmentation is a type of implant-based augmentation, wherein silicone implants—primarily composed of medical-grade silicone—are surgically placed within the body to provide structural support and volume. Currently, silicone breast augmentation is considered the safest method available. Silicone implants are biocompatible and rarely trigger immune rejection reactions. Moreover, if the patient is dissatisfied with the results, the implants can be safely and readily removed, further enhancing the procedure’s overall safety profile.
