Advanced Polymeric Biomaterials - An Integrated Solution for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery

Abstract:

Biomaterials have upgraded the field of plastic surgery to an impressive level. In this article attention is focused on the biomaterials that have allowed major advances in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery and the possible future prospects in this field. Consequently, we highlight surgical applications of polymer biomaterials like silicone, polymethylmethacrylate, polyester, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, cyanoacrylate and polytetrafluoroethylene, currently in use all over the world.
