This prosthesis plastic surgery process is also known as breast enlargement, mammoplasty enlargement, breast augmentation, and augmentation mammoplasty in medical terminology. In common slang, it is called boob job. Breast implants are resorted to mainly for cosmetic reasons for reconstructing the size of the breasts. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons inform that breast implants are among the most common cosmetic surgery procedures done in the U.S. The American Society of Plastic Surgery data reveals that this breast augmentation is the number one plastic surgery procedure in the U.S.

Breast implants are usually of two types, saline-filled implants and silicone gel-filled breast implants. In fact, the saline-filled implants also have a shell of silicone elastomer that had been filled with saline liquid made sterile before injection into the shell. The silicone gel implants have a similar silicone shell but the shell contains viscous silicone gel instead of sterile saline solution. The first breast implant is believed to have been done in 1889 with the adipose tissue of the woman and paraffin injections but that led to disastrous results. Several other substances like glass balls, ivory, ox cartilage, polyethylene chips, ground rubber, Terylene wool, dicora, gutta-percha, polyether foam sponge, Teflon-silicone prostheses, polyester silastic rubber, etc. had been tried during the last century. Even several creams and medications had been tried, apart from silicone injections in the 1950s.

Majority of the above procedures resulted in serious complications and many women were forced to have mastectomies even up to 30 years after these treatments. Hence, plastic surgery with saline and silicone gel breast implants became the standard norm. Such breast implants are done for primary reconstruction for replacing breast tissues removed because of cancer or trauma, revision reconstruction to improve or correct the original size of the breast, primary augmentation to enlarge the breasts for cosmetic reasons, and revision augmentation to correct results of previous breast augmentation procedure.

Plastic surgery Hawaii for breast augmentation through implants is done through various techniques. They are inframammary procedure, periareolar procedure, transaxillary procedure, transumbilical procedure, and transabdominoplasty procedure. The last two procedures are termed as TUBA and TABA. The saline and silicone gel implants had started from first generation level to fifth generation stage at present. These implants are highly-cohesive, solid, and form-stable type of implants. Since the gel in these implants is semi-solid type, the silicone migration possibility is eliminated. Studies had revealed that efficacy and safety had been potentially improved, compared to the previous generations of implants. The capsular rupture and contracture rates had also been low.

The U.S. FDA relabeled all breast implants as Class III medical devices in 1988. Later, the FDA had placed a moratorium in 1992 on all silicone gel implants for cosmetic purposes. In 1998, the FDA reviewed the situation and approved certain study protocols for silicone gel implants for limited number of reconstruction, revision, and augmentation. The saline-filled implants were approved by the FDA in 2000. At present, more than a million women had been estimated to have benefited from breast implants.
