A<unk>  is a prosthesis used to change the size, shape, and contour of a person's breast. In reconstructive plastic surgery,<unk> s can be placed to restore a natural looking breast following a mastectomy, to correct congenital defects and deformities of the chest wall or, cosmetically, to enlarge the appearance of the breast through breast augmentation surgery. Complications of<unk> s may include breast pain, skin changes, infection, rupture, and a fluid collection around the breast. There are four general types of<unk> s, defined by their filler material: saline solution, silicone gel, structured and composite filler. The saline<unk>  has an elastomer silicone shell filled with sterile saline solution during surgery; the silicone<unk>  has an elastomer silicone shell pre-filled with viscous silicone gel; structured<unk> s use nested elastomer silicone shells and two saline filled lumen; and the alternative composition<unk> s featured miscellaneous fillers, such as soy oil or polypropylene string. In surgical practice, for the reconstruction of a breast, the tissue expander device is a temporary breast prosthesis used to form and establish an<unk>  pocket for the future permanent<unk> . For the correction of male breast defects and deformities, the pectoral<unk>  is the breast prosthesis used for the reconstruction and the aesthetic repair of a man's chest wall (see: gynecomastia and mastopexy).
