We recently received an e-mail from a patient who had a latex allergy, and wished to have breast augmentation surgery.  She was concerned the breast implants were made of latex.  I explained to her breast implants are made of a round or contour shaped silicone elastomer (rubber) shell.  She was relieved to hear the surgery would be  a safe procedure for her.
