Breast augmentation with implants is a relatively common and safest method for breast enhancement. The implants used in such surgeries generally have an outer shell made of solid silicone gel, which does not cause chemical reactions with human body tissues. The implant fillers come in various types, including silicone gel, saline solution, and hydrogel substances. However, in China, health authorities only approve saline solution as the permitted filler material. This type of material can be quickly removed if the breast augmentation procedure fails.
