In surgical praxis, after having emplaced the empty breast implants into the implant pockets, the plastic surgeon then fills each device with saline solution, and, because the required insertion incisions are small, the resultant incision-scars will be smaller than the surgical scar usual to the long incision required for inserting pre-filled, silicone-gel implants.

# Transabdominal — as in the TUBA procedure, in the transabdominoplasty breast augmentation ( TABA ), the breast implants are tunneled superiorly from the abdominal incision into bluntly dissected implant pockets, whilst the patient simultaneously undergoes an abdominoplasty.

In the manufacture of silicone breast implants, the metallic element platinum is a catalyst ( a chemical that accelerates a reaction between two other chemicals, without becoming part of the new compound chemical ) used to transform silicone oil into silicone gel for the elastomer silicone shells, and other medical-silicone devices.

Nonetheless, the physical fullness-of-breast achieved with injected fat-grafts does not visually translate into the type of buxom fullness achieved with breast implants ; hence, patients who had plentiful fat-tissue to harvest attained a maximum breast augmentation of one brassiėre cup-size in one session of fat grafting to the breast.

Instead of merely placing the implants to serve as blocking mechanism against the denture pushing on the alveolar bone, small retentive appliances can be attached to the implants that can then snap into a modified denture base to allow for tremendously increased retention.

After fertilization, the newly formed zygote then begins to divide through meiosis, forming an embryo, which implants in the female's endometrium.

If the ovum is fertilized while in the Fallopian tube, then it normally implants in the endometrium when it reaches the uterus, which signals the beginning of pregnancy.

After mastectomy ( the removal of a diseased breast ), the reconstruction of the breast or breasts is done with breast implants or autologous tissue transfer, using fat and tissues from the abdomen, which is performed with a TRAM flap or with a back ( latissiumus muscle flap ).
