Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in women. Along with increasing demands for breast reconstruction, the attention given to the psychological and aesthetic benefits of breast reconstruction has also increased. As breast reconstruction and augmentation demands increase, biomaterials for breast reconstruction are being developed, and the related industry is growing quickly worldwide. Among the various biomaterials used for breast enlargement, breast implants have undergone a remarkable evolution since the 1960s. Despite unsatisfactory results and unexpected complications, research dedicated to achieving an ideal breast implant has progressed. In accordance with attention to tissue engineering, a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technique for breast tissue regeneration has emerged to overcome the current limitations of breast biomaterials. Along with solid implants, injectable liquid-type fillers are also part of ongoing studies.

Summary
Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in women. The number of newly diagnosed breast cancer cases has more than doubled, with the portion of cases seen in younger women increasing [2]. Demands for breast reconstruction exist, and the recent increase in the popularity of social media has made evident the attention given to body image. The numbers of bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction procedures have increased, and the psychological and aesthetic benefits of breast reconstruction have increased. As breast reconstruction and augmentation demands increase, biomaterials for use in breast reconstruction are being developed, and the related industry is growing quickly worldwide. Among the various biomaterials used for breast enlargement, breast implants have undergone a remarkable evolution since the 1960s. Injectable liquid-type fillers are part of ongoing studies
