A medical student finds out what happens to breast implants during gross anatomy lab:
The most interesting part of the implant was the reverse side, which had circular spots of scored silicon. These textured spots act as anchoring points for the body’s natural connective tissue. In other words, the body grows into the implants. Women have to routinely massage their implants (at least the older implant I saw) to keep the connective tissue from forming fibrous mounds of thick tissue at the connective spots.
