ABSTRACT:
An artificial breast consists of a soft-elastic dish-shaped plastic body (1) which is symmetrical with respect to a symmetry plane (SE) passing through its tip (3). It has a lateral extension (5) and also a pair of further extensions (6, 7) which lie opposite each other and are arranged on either side of the symmetry plane (SE). The distance (L.sub.2) of the ends (6a, 7a) of the further extensions (6, 7) from the symmetry plane (SE) is smaller than the distance (L.sub.1) of the end (5a) of the lateral extension (5) from the Z axis which lies in the symmetry plane (SE) and passes through the tip (3). When the artificial breast is worn in a brassiere the lower extension (7) is pushed upwardly by the supporting force of the brassiere and the softness of the prosthesis material while the upper extension (6) remains undeformed. The artificial breast can be worn optionally on the right or left body side.
