What are Aesthetic Implants?

Aesthetic implants are used to enhance the physical appearance and to alter the shape of several body parts for cosmetic purposes. For example, breast implants enhance the breast shape and size in case of breast reconstruction, breast augmentation and correction of deformities. Facial implants are used to alter facial contours to enhance aesthetic appearance. These implants are available in several types and textures and are tailored to individual needs.

The growth of the global aesthetic implants market is attributed to the increasing technological advancements, rising demand for cosmetic procedures, growing geriatric population and availability of customizable implants as per individual needs among others. The global market expansion provides an opportunity for patent companies to explore aesthetic implant technologies.
