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

Cute626393
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
