A breast implant is a medical device used to alter a person's breasts' size, shape, or contour. Usually, it's concealed under the chest muscle or beneath the breast tissue. Breast implants can be used for reconstruction after breast surgery, such as a mastectomy, however they are typically utilised for cosmetic purposes. Most breast implants are made of a silicone shell that is either filled with silicone gel or saline solution (saltwater). Saline implants are placed into the breast pocket and then filled with sterile saltwater solution; silicone gel implants are placed into the breast pocket first and then pre-filled with a cohesive silicone gel.

Rigid regulatory requirements may delay product clearance and obstruct the launch of novel breast implant solutions.
