solid silicone type of elastomer implants as the sole implants since it has got the
proven potential to increase congenital, asymmetry, gluteal tone with ptosis for the
patients.
Recently, autogenous augmentation has also been found to be a widely increase
and the fastest-growing technique due to its natural appearance with ease of fabrication and availability. In this method, the procedure adopted is the fat is suctioned
from lower parts of the body (E.g. lower back, flanks, and trochanteric regions of the
human body). Employing multiple small incisions, the fat collected from the body is
transferred, and sand injected into buttocks by a syringe. The excessive fat from the
flank and lower back regions will help to contour the buttocks. Various surgeons are
practicing and performing lipofilling and liposuction on buttocks. However, various
complications of the fat augmentation include donor-site ischemia or fluid accumulation, seroma, fat embolism, cellulitis infection, partial reabsorption of fat grafts,
transient sciatic paresthesias etc.
Losing the teeth in our day today-life is a significant problem in our living life.
Cosmetic implants are widely used to get back our teeth, artificially. Hence, the
artificial implants that have been affixed will possess the same strength, and their
characteristic features should be quite reasonable to that of natural teeth. These
artificial teeth not only have equal strength, but they help for the preservation of
bones and teeth gums more effectively. Therefore, these cosmetic implants would be a
welcome procedure whoever loses their teeth due to trauma or some accidents. These
cosmetic implants can be applied through the process, where a titanium implant is
inserted into teeth gums. After the implantation, once the bone starts to grow around,
it completely looks like the natural teeth and matches up. However, the cosmetic
procedure would take about a period from 3-6 months before the cosmetic implant
becomes fully functional and looks good and similar to natural teeth. Though these
cosmetic implants are recommended too by the dentists, the patients’ age and health
play a major role, and the patient needs to be in good health condition and able to
support it completely [46–51].
4 Summary
Available research data on the nanoscale surface modification methods of implants
were discussed. Changes with various surface modifications, along with the
chemical-biological reaction of bio-implant materials, were also discussed. Nanostructured materials and nanocoatings of the implant materials were elaborated in
detail. Surface treatments for the nanostructures were explained, and various methods
like physical, chemical, mechanical methods have also been summarized. Various
applications used for nano implant applications are dental implants, spine orthopedic implants, hip and knee replacements, cardiovascular artificial stents and valves.
Cosmetic implants exhibit an important role concerning the eye lens or contact lens.
The phakic intraocular lens (pIOLs) was employed. Pectoral implant, injectable
gluteal fillers, breast implants, ocular, and nose prostheses are widely used in cosmetic
