Abstract.

We present our experience with augmentation mammaplasty on 14 patients with a thin chest wall and poor subcutaneous tissue. Thanks to Polytech Silimed code 20675, a new anatomical prosthesis filled with ``soft'' cohesive gel, the lodging in a subglandular position was possible without anomalous salience in the upper pole, and a more natural mammary profile was achieved without capsular contracture, dislocation, or misplacement of the mammary implants.
