Abstract
A body pocket maintenance prosthesis for implanting in a submuscular/subglandular implant pocket formed in a human female's chest in conjunction with a mammary implant. The maintenance prosthesis includes at least one sheet of elastomeric material formed generally in a partly-annular configuration to at least partially surround the mammary implant in the implant pocket, with the sheet of material having a textured side to allow Growth thereon of human tissue of the pocket wall against which the textured side is placed, and a smooth, non-textured side to inhibit the growth thereon of human tissue. The mammary implant is thus allowed to move or flow in the body pocket to locations between the smooth side of the sheet of material and the adjacent body pocket wall.
