Abstract

Despite the improvement of breast implant quality across the last decade, the perfect implant does not exist. Therefore research should manage to improve those implants. In this article we have tried to identify different directions to investigate for better prosthesis: improvement of the shell, the filling and the form. Moreover, other targets as fat transfer or other permanent soft tissue filler also need further experimental and clinical investigation.
