Hence, so-called "cosmetic" use of silicone-filled implants became a thing of the past. Millions of women still have the gel-filled implants in place, and most are doing just fine with them. But others have had a confusing complex of symptoms that have piqued researchers' attention, led to mammoth lawsuits and have resulted in significant ongoing research into the possibility that for some women, silicone-filled implants may cause significant harm. At this point, we really don't have all the answers.
So let's focus on the use of saline-filled implants. These implants are actually made of silicone shells filled with saltwater. They aren't as resilient as the gel-filled implants were—they're more prone to breakage on impact (in an auto accident, for example), which can not only be frightening but also quite inconvenient and uncomfortable, since you'd need repeat surgery to remove the damaged implant and replace it with another. The good news is that the release of saltwater into your system is thought to be perfectly harmless, in contrast to the concerns about silicone gel leakage into the body systems.
