A brief perusal of the history of prosthetics yields regular indication that Ambroise Paré is the father of medical amputation, and so instrumental to prosthetics as we know them. "Earliest known" prosthetics are cited, and one finds commentary on how materials and technique changed little over centuries. As with so many areas of science, however, prosthetics took off in the last century. Plastics, fiberglass, and other space-age materials replaced iron, wood, and leather.

A prosthesis is an artificial apparatus which replaces a body part or makes a body part work better. Arms and legs are easy examples (pirate movie, anyone?), but the term applies to a much broader range of accoutrements. Eyes, ears, digits, teeth, and even corrective lenses qualify, as does stuff placed inside the body surgically.

Like their external cousins, breast enhancement prosthetics implanted by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Marc Mani are matched specifically to the individual patient. Breast implants are surgically placed through incisions made either around the areola, under the arm, or along the fold below the breast.
