Silicone implants are constructed chemically
using silicon, one of the most readily available elements on earth. Though it is rarely ever found in a pure
form, the element occurs in many different places in nature, including in plant
cells and the human skeleton. Silicon
is a component of many minerals like sand and quartz and is a naturally good
conductor of electricity. For this reason,
silicon is a key part of the computer and microchip industry, hence the name
"Silicon Valley."
