Purpose of Breast Implant Serial Numbers?

I am a reporter covering the story about slain model Jasmine Fiore. She was reportedly identified as a murder victim by a serial number found in her breast implant. Do all breast implants have serial numbers? For what purpose?  Do they also have "chips" for making sure the implants are authentic?
