Aside from the traditional growth hormone, some people undergo a procedure that infuses silicone solutions on the connective tissue layer below the upper portion of the head to add several millimeters to their height. This is very popular among sumo wrestlers and potential soldiers who do meet the height requirements. Silicone implants are also very popular among women who want to look sexier and more beautiful. Despite the growing number of women who had terrible implants, many more women go to third world countries to receive the life-changing implant. Nose-jobs, chin augmentations, and other facial modification techniques use plenty of this inert material.

Silicone is very popular among in the surgical and medical communities because the material has low toxicity, inert, and it does not support microbial growth. However, are we so addicted to it already? Is it time to say enough is enough? Is it better that we use Viagra rather than undergo surgery? Is it better that we stick to growth hormones instead of silicone injections on the head?

One condition that is said to be “fixed” by silicone implants is erectile dysfunction (ED). This is the failure to develop and erection or maintains one already made and it can be treated in many ways –surgery, penile pumps, and medications like Tadalafil. Prior Penile prostheses are made out of silicone. Surgeons create openings on the groin area to insert the material. Despite the advertisements and assurances from surgeons, huge foreign bodies like silicone implants would surely be noticed. Women could not hide their operations from their friends and colleagues. Men who have penile prostheses would receive unusual stares from their friends if they visit the saunas or while in the locker room.

Silicone slabs and silicone chambers are very unnatural and surgical procedures cannot hide the completely. The one-piece prostheses (surgically placed along the penile shaft), for example, look tremendously awkward. In saunas and locker rooms, other men will surely notice the unusual look of the penis. The three-piece prostheses also look terrible because there is an unusual bulge formation on the groin or lower abdominal area. In other words, they look ugly. Maybe, this is the right time to have something more natural to treat our medical conditions and start using the better alternative like Sildenafil to treat impotence.
