ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a breast prosthesis for breast-amputated women with a flexible plastic body (1) comprising two plastic sheets (2, 3) connected to each other along their common edge (23) and a plastic mass (4) enclosed between the two plastic sheets (2, 3), wherein the plastic body (1) has a front side (21) formed to resemble the contour of the natural breast and a back side (31) capable of facing the torso of the person, and an elastically deformeable thin part (6) secured with its edge (611) to the back side (31) of the plastic body (1). In order to improve the wear comfort of the breast prosthesis, the thin part (6) is secured to the plastic body (1) inside the common edge (23) of the connected plastic sheets (2, 3).
