Thanks for your email The trilucent breast implant was developed at Washington University, St. Louis, U.S.A. in the 1980s by Drs. Silicone implants are not radiolucent and obscure mammogram. The soybean triglycerides used in the breast implant have an atomic number of 5.9 and are radiolucent. The soybean oil used in the implants acts as a lubricant and provides prolonged resistance to abrasion. For this reason, it is expected that these implants will last as long or longer than silicone gelfilled implants.
Capsular contracture is a common problem associated with breast implants.
