“…Scientists began to research its potential for medical use in the 1930s, noting that the substance remained inert when inserted into the human body and was well tolerated. 8 Silicone was praised for its stability and resistance to bacterial colonization and became a target for use in the development of medical implants. 8 The manufacturer Dow Corning pursued development of these silicone implants, receiving approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in breast augmentation.…”

“…8 Silicone was praised for its stability and resistance to bacterial colonization and became a target for use in the development of medical implants. 8 The manufacturer Dow Corning pursued development of these silicone implants, receiving approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in breast augmentation. The company was given a 10-year exemption via an FDA investigational new drug title in 1965.…”

“…Though many researchers over the years have sought to either show toxicity or debunk it, no one has given a very thorough review except a comprehensive 50-year literature analysis of silicone toxicology given in the US National Academies Press. This review suggests that silicone in any normal concentration has only nominal toxicological effects in both implanted, ingested, inhaled and cutaneous exposure including small amounts of platinum catalysts and the cyclic siloxanes (Bondurant et al 1999). For more information on silicone toxicology in biological systems, we direct the readers to that report, which is available as a free download as well as a more recent review by Chao et al (2016).…”
