Are there any breast implants that don't have a silicone outer layer?

February 4, 2024
Asked By:Cute626393 in Ballina, New South Wales, Australia

Hello, I have wanted a breast augmentation for years but I'm concerned about developing symptoms of ASIA. From what I have read it's the silicone outer layer that could be causing it. Is there an alterative option to silicon? Are there any implants that are TGA approved? Thank you
