On April 2, 2025, according to the Resource Library, during the 2025 International Medical Summit, aesthetic competition held in Austin, the United States, Bellaseno GmbH, a German-Australian medical technology company, announced a disruptive result: the first clinical data printed in the 3D world.

This new implant with fully absorbable 3D printed stents can help patients obtain natural appearance breasts while avoiding the long -term risks of traditional silicone implants.This innovative technology should completely change the structure of the breast reconstruction market and plastic surgery dominated by silicone prostheses for 60 years.
Published data show that 19 women who had to delete the implant due to the failure or complications of the silicone prosthesis had received treatment with this technology, and the rate of retention of breast volume reached 87% in one year after the operation.It is far beyond the average level of 30 to 50% for traditional fat transplants.
And there is no common problem with traditional fat transplants such as infection, scar contracture or calcification. During the two -year follow -up,observeA vascular network has been formed in the new breast tissue of certain patients, confirming that it is fully integrated into the human circulatory system.
Directly strikes the points of pain in the traditional silicone prosthesis
Silicone implantSince its creation in the 1960s,He has a story over 60 years old. Although the silicone prosthesis is still used in approximately 80% of breast implants, over time, potential problems are gradually emerging: rupture, displacement or an immune response can occur.
In addition, patients must generally replace the implant every 10 to 15 years, and complications often lead to complex repair procedures, which means that patients should be anesthetized again, providing additional risks and concerns.

For women who choose to withdraw the implant, the ideal alternatives are often lacking. Simple fat transplants are generally difficult to maintain the shape and surgical procedure is quite invasive. And the 3D printed stents of Bellaseno offer a new solution which not only retains the advantages of implants and fat transplant, but also avoids their gaps.
The reversal tradition: from “filling of foreign objects” to “autogenic regeneration”
Unlike traditional implants, Bellaseno adopts an innovative solution. The main innovation of this technology lies in the abandonment of the silicone prosthesis or saline solution and to move to 3D printing of polycaprolactone in degradable polymer of medical quality (PCL) in personalized scaffolding. During the operation, doctors inject the own fat of patients in the scaffolding and their precision structure can stabilize the adipose tissue.

In addition, over time, the stent gradually dissolves, finally forming a natural breast with a network of blood vessels composed entirely of the patient’s own tissues. This process is called to guide fabric regeneration, and 3D printing technology is the key to achieving this goal.
The excellence of the scaffold is derived from the design of bionic precision, which precisely regulates porosity and rigidity by 3D printing to promote cellular attachment and vascular growth. Its geometry is perfectly suited to the patient’s anatomy, and the degradation rate is synchronized with the regeneration of the tissues. These characteristics are not carried out by traditional processes.
From laboratory to clinic
Although technology is currently focusing on breast reconstruction, its platform can be extended to areas such as repair of facial defects and the filling of soft tissue in the future.It should be noted that this product has not yet been marketed on a large scale and still has to pass certification from the EU and the approval of the United States.
If subsequent tests continue to check its safety, this technology which allows patients to “sow” permanent natural breasts with their own fat can become a significant breakthrough in the field of plastic surgery.

After all, in the medical community, obtaining a breast reconstruction which maintains both morphological stability and is entirely derived from the self-organized tissue was once an inaccessible dream. This innovative achievement, which combines 3D printing technology with regenerative medicine, brings new hope to millions of women suffering from breast malformations around the world.
