Surgically-placed silicone implants can be used in the pectoral or male chest area to correct defects caused by trauma or congenital problems, or simply to increase the apparent musculature in the area for an improved cosmetic appearance.
Body implants, (e.g. pectoral, testicular, calf and buttock) are used to correct defects, which have existed since birth, or to put right tissue loss, which has occurred through injury or disease.
Fat transfer, fat transplantation or microlipoinjection involves the collection of fat via liposuction for re-injection into other areas of the face and body.
