ABSTRACT:
This invention provides prostheses for implantation into human soft tissue. One aspect of this invention provides soft tissue prostheses comprising a physiologically compatible containment sac and, contained within said sac, a normal body constituent comprising a glycosaminoglycan, mucopolysaccharide, or any other naturally occurring, highly viscous filling material known to be rapidly resorbed from tissues or known to cause little adverse tissue reaction. Also provided by this invention are methods for recontouring soft tissue at a selected body location and methods for decreasing the risk of adverse physiological reaction to an implant.
