The Dow Corning Corporation, with American plastic surgeons Thomas Cronin and Frank Gerow, introduced the first silicone breast prosthesis in 1961. After a year of developing the product, the first breast enlargement procedure was conducted. Over the years and five device generations after, common model-manufacturing techniques were followed by the various manufacturing firms in prosthetics industry in producing Silicone-gel breast enlargement implants.

In 1960, the implant model Cronin–Gerow prosthesis 1963, was a silicone rubber envelope in tear-drop form filled with viscous silicone-gel with a fastener-patch of Dacron attached to the back of the device shell to decrease the rotation of the breast enlargement implant device against the chest wall

After a decade of more breast enlargement procedures, a demand for softer and life-like models of breast implants has risen. Thus, the breast implants were redesigned by manufacturers into thinner shells and silicone-gel fillers, giving birth to the silicone implant second-generation models .However, the second generation breast implant had higher rates of reported complications. This decade also produce the model with polyurethane foam coating, a device to reduce capsular contracture. Though this model posed a health risk due to some chemical breakdown of the implant coating, it is still used in Europe and South America. Also introduced at this time is the double lumen model, named so because it is a double-cavity device with a silicone implant within a saline implant. The more complex design suffered a device-failure and was not popularly used until a more developed model was introduced in 1984 the “Becker Expandable”.

The third and fourth generation models of breast enlargement devices featured more durable shells and thicker silicone gel fillers that reduced leakage and also featured more natural life-like units with uniform textured surfaces and tapered contours.

Through the years, the most common problem that arose in breast enlargement implants is capsular contracture or filler leakage. A semi-solid gel was then developed to eliminate these filler leakages which eventually improved safety and efficacy in breast enlargement implants.
It is reassuring to know that you were born in the sixth generation of breast enlargement devices with a more secured feeling that you can get the best developed ‘vavaboobs’ you’ve been dreaming of. Go get them, girl!
