A sagittal schematic of the human breast shows a saline TE (tissue expander) positioned in the prepectoral plane, superficial to the pectoralis major muscle (PM) on the anterior chest wall. The device, an implantable medical prosthesis, is connected to a remote port accessed by syringe for percutaneous, serial inflation. In biological hierarchy, the implant lies beneath skin and subcutaneous tissue within the thoracic region of Homo sapiens (human). The illustration pertains to anatomy and reconstructive surgery, enabling gradual soft‑tissue expansion for post‑mastectomy breast reconstruction.
