ABSTRACT:
A multi-layer prosthesis simulates tissue tactility by structuring the plurality of layers of material making up the prosthesis to include lubricant coating between the layers. It is the plurality of layers and the lubricity of their movement which contributes greatly to the tactile simulation of human tissue. Present in the prosthesis is a ballast lumen which moves freely and contributes mass and motility to the prosthesis. The prosthesis finds ready use in the augmentation or restructuring of the human breast as well as in cosmetic modification of other portions of the anatomy as, for example, the chin, the pectorals, the calf muscles, etc.
