Silicone implants are chemically constructed using silicon, one of the most readily available elements on earth. Although it rarely exists in pure form, this element is found in many different places in nature, including plant cells and human bones. Silicon is a component of many minerals, such as sand and quartz, and is a naturally good conductor of electricity. As such, silicon is a key part of the computer and microchip industries, hence the name “Silicon Valley.”
