A cellular phone used to execute a game is connected to a server apparatus when a need arises to transmit or receive information. The game is individually progressed by each cellular phone. A user equips a player character with a material to use a magic in a battle. A party is formed by users of multiple cellular phones and a material possessed by the user belonging to the same party is registered in the server apparatus. When the user transmits a support request to the server apparatus during a battle, the server apparatus returns the support material possessed by other users belonging to the same party. The user of the cellular phone can also use a magic corresponding to the support material in the battle.

A surgical implant namely a tissue expander or adjustable implant having a synthetic mesh loosely attached to the surface. The mesh is elastic in all directions and the implant adjustable or expandable. The expandable implant is filled to an over filled volume into the surrounding tissue until a new capsule forms. At this stage the volume of the implant is reduced leaving the supporting capsule with the mesh at a larger volume. The volume of the implant is then reduced thus rendering a tension free capsule around the implant. The filling tube of the adjustable implant is then removed leaving the adjustable implant in position. Alternatively the tissue expander may be removed and a new implant placed in the expanded tension free pocket.
