How do breast implants have space?

As someone whose mom recently had a mastectomy and is getting reconstruction, if there’s not enough skin you can use something called tissue expanders that you place in the area you want to stretch. It’s basically like a balloon that you inject saline into over the course of a period of time to slowly stretch the skin and get it ready for implants
