Abstract

A breast implant enhancement device can be placed behind a breast implant (between the implant and the chest wall) to reduce or eliminate appearance of wrinkles or folds on the outer surface of the implant against the skin. A breast implant enhancement system comprising an enhancement element adapted and configured to be selectively coupled with the posterior surface of a breast implant, wherein said enhancement element has at least one angular edge.

Claims (17)

1 . A breast implant enhancement system comprising:

a flexible membrane enclosing contents and having an inner surface, an outer surface and a posterior side; and

an enhancement element positioned outside of said flexible membrane, selectively coupled with said outer surface of said posterior side of said flexible membrane;

wherein said enhancement element has a fixed volume and is sufficiently rigid to displace sufficient breast implant content to prevent folding or rippling on the outer surface of the flexible membrane when in use; and

wherein said enhancement element has at least one angular edge.

2 . The breast implant enhancement system of claim 1 , further comprising an attachment mechanism adapted and configured to couple the enhancement element with a breast implant.

3 . The implant enhancement system of claim 2 , wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a friction weld.

4 . The implant enhancement system of claim 2 , wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a biocompatible adhesive.

5 . The breast implant enhancement system of claim 2 , further comprising a breast implant.

6 . The implant enhancement system of claim 5 , wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a pocket affixed to the inward facing side of a breast implant.

7 . The implant enhancement system of claim 5 , wherein said attachment mechanism comprises at least one flexible retention strap.

8 . The implant enhancement system of claim 1 , wherein said enhancement element has a domed configuration.

9 . The implant enhancement system of claim 1 , wherein said enhancement element has a substantially tubular configuration.

10 . The implant enhancement system of claim 1 , wherein said enhancement element has a truncated substantially domed configuration.

11 . The implant enhancement system of claim 1 , wherein said at least one edge is radiused.

12 . The implant enhancement system of claim 1 , wherein said enhancement device further comprises an outer shell of a first material filled with a second material.

13 . The breast implant enhancement system of claim 5 , wherein said enhancement element and said breast implant are integrated.
