Your body tries to form a kind of scar around the material.
-
I'll show you how that happens in a cartoon in just a minute.

These dots here are cells from your inflammatory system.
-
They're neutrophils and macrophages that are collecting

at the site of the foreign material.

and you can see where the fibers of the mesh are,
-
where there's clear dots here.
-
You can see there lots of cells that are recruited.
