Abstract
A surgical implantable mammary prosthesis adapted to resist capsular contracure comprises a flexible sac having a generally circular base and containing an appropriate gel or fluid, and a flexible sheet extending outwardly from said circular base and being peripherally integral with said circular base and forming a ring around said circular base. The unique design in this invention can effectively prevent the implanted mammary prosthesis from displacement, deformation and capsular contracture after breast augmentation. It can also be readily removed when desired by selecting suitable number of holes or of layers.
