Absorbable implants can be used to create volume and shape in the breast of a patient with regenerated tissue. The implants comprise scaffolds formed from layers of parallel filaments. The layers of filaments can be stacked and bonded together to form scaffolds with porous crisscross arrangements of filaments. The implant's scaffolds may be coated or filled with cells and tissues, including autologous fat graft, and/or a vascular pedicle may be inserted into the implant. The implants are particularly suitable for use in plastic surgery procedures, for example, to regenerate or augment breast tissue following mastectomy or in mastopexy procedures, and can provide an alternative to the use of permanent breast implants in these procedures.
