Breast implants
Breast reconstruction is surgery to rebuild a breast's shape after a mastectomy. It cannot give a woman back her breast - a reconstructed breast does not have natural sensations. However, the surgery offers a result that looks like a breast. Most women who had breast reconstruction are glad they did. In breast reconstruction, a surgeon forms a breast mound by using an implant or tissues from the belly, back or buttocks. Implants are silicone sacs filled with salt water or silicone gel. The type of reconstruction you get depends on your body type, age and cancer treatment.

Cochlear Implants
Cochlear (KO-klee-er) implants are pieces of electronic equipment that are used to help a severe-to-profound, binaural (bi-NAW-rull) hearing loss. A severe-to-profound, binaural hearing loss is when you do hear very little or not at all in both ears. You may be born with this kind of hearing loss or it can happen over time. Cochlear implants are used when hearing aids or other hearing devices do not help your hearing loss. They take the sounds you hear, and change them into special electrical signals. Your hearing may not be perfect, but with time, you may be able to understand these sound signals. With a cochlear implant, you wear a plastic ear piece with a tiny microphone. A chord sometimes attaches this to a speech/sound box worn on your belt or in a pocket. An internal receiver (listening device) and group of tiny wires are surgically put behind your eardrum near your cochlea (KO-klee-aw). The cochlea is the primary hearing organ. The internal receiver communicates with another round plastic coil piece that is worn on the outside of your ear.

Breast reconstruction - implants
After a mastectomy, some women choose to have cosmetic surgery to re-create their breast. This surgery can be performed during mastectomy itself or later. The breast is usually reshaped in 2 stages, first using a tissue expander and then placement of a saline implant. Sometimes the implant can be inserted in the first stage.

Breastfeeding and Breast Implants
Breast augmentation is surgery to make your breasts larger with implants. Silicone (sill-uh-kone) gel-filled or saline-filled implants are the most common kind of breast implants used. Four different methods are used. Two of the methods make an incision (cut) on or around the areola (air-e-o-luh). The areola is the dark part of your breast around your nipple. Some of the milk ducts and the major nerves may have been cut with this type of incision.
