Breast implants and tissue expanders having integrated systems for filling implant shells with fluids, infusing fluids, and draining fluids from breast tissue surrounding implant shells

A breast implant comprising:

• an elastomeric shell having an inner chamber;
• a tube having a proximal end and a distal end;
• a fluid inlet opening formed in said elastomeric implant shell;
• and
• a valve disposed within said fluid inlet opening, wherein said valve is normally biased in a closed position,
• said tube including a first lumen that is in fluid communication with said inner chamber for filling said inner chamber with a fluid for expanding said elastomeric shell;
• said tube including a second lumen and one or more lateral openings in fluid communication with said second lumen for draining fluid from tissue surrounding an outer perimeter of said shell;
• and
• the distal end of said tube being detachably connected with said implant shell via said fluid inlet opening.

A breast implant comprising:

• an implant shell having an inner chamber;
• a three lumen tube having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of said three lumen tube is detachably connected with said implant shell;
• said three lumen tube having a first lumen that extends between the proximal and distal ends thereof, wherein said first lumen is in fluid communication with said inner chamber for adding fluid into said inner chamber to increase the size of said implant shell or for removing fluid from said inner chamber to reduce the size of said implant shell;
• said three lumen tube having a second lumen and one or more laterally extending drainage openings that are in fluid communication with said second lumen for draining fluid that collects in the tissue surrounding an outer perimeter of said implant shell;
• said three lumen tube having a third lumen and one or more laterally extending infusion openings that are in fluid communication with said third lumen for infusing fluid into the tissue surrounding the outer perimeter of said implant shell.
