Abstract

The past of breast implants is well known, the techniques seem to be up to date and the future definitely optimistic. Breast implants have been at the top of the polemic due to their complications. Technical innovations allow plastic surgeons to choose adequate types of breast implants and also improve the innocuity of this surgery. Due to the last juridic reglementation and behaviour's evolution, breast augmentation will probably keep its place at the top.
