Breast augmentation is the second most commonly performed aesthetic surgery in the United States and the use of different implant materials has changed over the years.

Aesthetic goals and results in implant-based breast surgery vary widely based on age, geography, and surgeon preference.

Most surgeons have emphatically returned to silicone implants once the moratorium on them was lifted, claiming they yield identifiably better results.

This is seen in the United States, where more than two-thirds of breast augmentations use silicone implants.
