A type of process in prosthesis that involves the changing of contour, size, and shape of breasts is called as a breast implant. Fore reconstructive plastic surgeries, these breast implants are being placed to be able to do some restoration in the breasts, thus, will make it look natural. Usually, these are being applied to those patients who previously undergone the process of mastectomy or for people whom the chest walls have some deformities or congenital defects.

The devices used in the breast implant are classified into three and these are the silicone gel, composite filler, and saline solution. But for breast implants Michigan, there are two most common types which are being used in the procedures of breast reconstruction, breast augmentation, and mammoplasty. These two are the saline implant which is filled by a saline solution and a silicone implant which is filled by gels.

In Michigan, the most commonly used type for prosthesis by most devices is the saline implant for the augmentation of breasts. This is because the silicone filled implants have been restricted by the FDA for some reasons. Its technical goal is making it a lesser invasive technique of surgery to emplace an empty device through the small surgical incision.

In a surgical praxis, if implants are emplaced already in pockets, each of the device is then filled by surgeons with the saline solutions. Since the incisions that are inserted will require small and short sizes, it is expected that the resulting sizes of incision scars must be smaller and shorter as well. These are smaller than the common surgical scars having long incisions to be able to insert the gel.

Thus, if this is to be compared to the silicone gel type, this is going to yield more acceptable results for increasing the size, making it smoother and has hemisphere contour, and also has realistic texture. However, it may also have some side effects such as causing some cosmetic problems. These problems may include rippling and wrinkling of envelope skins, and accelerated lower pole stretch.

Other problems on this are the technical problems that would include the implants presence, thus, making it visible to eyes and can be felt when touched. The cosmetic problems would most likely occur only when a woman has little tissues. For women who have previous experiences on post mastectomy, the use of silicone gels are suggested for the prosthetic devices in both breasts augmentation and reconstruction.

However, the gels, as one type of a medical device technology, has 5 generations. Each of this generation can be defined by specific techniques in model manufacturing. First generation is made of rubber envelope sac. The shape is the same as to a teardrop and filled in with silicone gels. For a reduction of emplacement rotation on the chest wall, it will be affixed to pockets by using fastener patches.

Second one is featuring the aesthetic improvements and the functional developments of the product. The third and the fourth generations are the sequential advances of manufacturing technology. The technologies may include the shells coated with elastomer for the decrease in gel bleed and also a thicker filler gel.

And the last one is made from highly cohesive and high strength gel which most of the time will be eliminating the filler leakage occurrences. Silicone filler migrations from a pocket is also eliminated. Most commonly, the implants are referred as gummy bear implant for breasts, that is, similar to the gummy candies.
