Abstract
A human body implant has a separate bladder made from a bio-compatible flexible polymer into which a mobile device or prosthesis is placed after the bladder has been introduced into a subcutaneous body pocket. The bladder completely forms an artificial scar by ingrowth of body tissue into pores in the bladder to form an artificial scar. In the case of a breast implant, a breast prosthesis of many different types can be used. The prosthesis is isolated from but is mobile in the bladder. Fluids can be withdrawn from the prosthesis without contaminating the body.
