Hello Interloper!

However, the difference is that unlike pre-filled silicone implants, this implant mirrors that of a saline breast implant, but instead of being filled with saline once positioned by the surgeon, the device is actually inflated by the patient through a tiny valve which is secreted in the buttock crease during the procedure.
This means that, once the area is healed following the operation, the patient can simply attach the supplied pump and inflate the implant bladder using a predetermined and programmed amount of air (these parameters are set on the device by the surgeon). The same pump is also used to deflate the implant once no longer required.
