History of Breast Augmentation A Woman's Choice

Breast implants have been used at least since 1865 to augment the size of women's breasts. The earliest known implant occurred in Germany in which fat from a benign tumor was removed from a woman's back and implanted in her breast. In following years the medical community experimented with implants of various materials, most commonly paraffin. The first use of silicone as breast-implant material may have been by Japanese prostitutes in the period immediately following World War II, who would directly inject silicone into their breasts.

Houston plastic surgeons Thomas Cronin and Frank Gerow developed the first silicone breast prosthesis with the Dow Corning Corporation in 1961 and the first woman was implanted in 1962. The implant was made of a silicone rubber envelope or sac filled with a thick, viscous silicone gel.

Breast Augmentation Implants Type

• Saline-filled, which have a silicone shell filled with sterile saline liquid. These implants are currently the only type available in the United States, but future regulation may make more available.
• Silicone gel-filled, which have a silicone shell filled with silicone gel. In the 60 countries where silicone implants are available, they are used in approximately 90% of implant operations. The implantation of silicone gel-filled breast implants is currently legal in the US.
• String implant, a third, much less common type of implant, is a method of achieving extreme breast sizes, initially developed by Dr. Gerald W. Johnson, M.D.P.A., using polypropylene (PPP). String implants are unique in that they cause the breast to continue expanding after surgery, and are preferred by those women who choose to have the largest breasts possible, including many adult entertainers. String implants were eliminated years ago by the FDA due to the complications brought about by continuous growth after implantation.
• Tissue engineered implant, a new form of implant currently in development. The principle is that cells are taken from tissue artificially grown from human stem cells, which are then combined with an appropriate scaffold material to produce a Tissue Engineered Breast Implant.[1] The advantage of this method is that there is no risk of leakage or rupture, and the size can remain stable for the lifetime of the patient, a contrast from the silicone or saline filled implants which typically reduce by approximately 40%.
