Beach sand, crystals, and quartz are silica. Silica is the most common substance on earth. Heating silica with carbon at a high temperature can produce silicon. Further processing can convert the silicon into a long chemical chain, or polymer, called silicone - which can be a liquid, a gel, or a rubbery substance. Various silicones are used in lubricants

and oils, as well as in silicone rubber. Silicone can be found in many common household items, such as polishes, suntan and hand lotion, antiperspirants, soaps, processed foods, waterproof coatings, and chewing gum.Find a Plastic SurgeonFor your own breast augmentation!your zip code or city & state(e.g., "93101" or "Santa Barbara, CA")Breast AugmentationBreast Augmentation InformationA wealth of information about breast augmentation – from the personal to the practical.Breast Augmentation Photos:Before & After ResultsBrowse our collection of before & after gallery of pictures on Mentor4me.com.Ask Diane - FAQsYour frequently asked questions about breast augmentation, answered here.Mentor Breast ImplantsOptions for everybody: our full range of saline
