| breast implant |
a sac used to increase breast size or restore the contour of a breast after mastectomy. The sac is filled with silicone gel (a synthetic material) or sterile saltwater (saline). Because of concern about possible (but as yet unproven) side effects of silicone, these implants are now available only to women who agree to take part in a study (clinical trial) in which side effects are carefully followed.
