An artificial beast and a silicone rubber body are provided. This artificial breast comprises a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, a fourth layer, and an outer cover layer. The first layer contains a silicone gel, and the second layer is a harder layer than the first layer, is a part on the outside of the first layer. The third layer is disposed outside the first layer and the second layer and is a harder layer than the first layer and the second layer. The outer cover layer is formed from a colored layer, a cover layer, and a reflection suppression layer.

A mammary prosthesis and an artificial nipple are provided. This mammary prosthesis includes a first layer, a second layer, and an outer layer. The first layer is constituted by including a mixture of a silicone rubber and at least two thickening agents having mutually different viscosities. A hollow is formed inside the first layer. The second layer is a layer harder than the first layer, and is laminated on the outer portion of the first layer in a state of covering the entire first layer. The outer layer is laminated on the curved portion of the second layer opposite the first layer. The outer layer is constituted by a colored layer, a cover layer, and a reflection-suppressing layer. The cover layer is disposed outside the colored layer, and the reflection-suppressing layer is disposed outside the cover layer.

An asymmetric brassiere for use with a prosthetic breast is disclosed. The asymmetric brassiere provides a front closure, which provides greater support for the front of the user's body, and enables fastening without shifting the position of the prosthetic. Further, a conductive fabric is provided which cups under the prosthetic. The asymmetric brassiere provides a user's pre-surgery appearance and equilibrium at a reasonable cost.

Embodiments of the invention include a breast nipple areola complex tattoo stencil comprising first, second and third stencil sections. The first stencil section defines an areola area. The second stencil section defines a nipple area and tubercle areas. One or more registration elements on the first and/or second stencil sections enable registration of the second stencil section to the first stencil section. The third stencil section defines one or both of a nipple shading area and a nipple highlight area. One or more registration elements on the third and/or second stencil sections enable registration of the third stencil section to the second stencil section.

In a method of making a breast prosthesis for use by a wearer having a body temperature, a plurality of dissolvable beads is placed into an open back of a breast-shaped mold. The open back of the mold is sealed. A suspension of an uncured silicone rubber liquid and a plurality of phase change material pellets is injected into the mold around the beads. The uncured silicone rubber is allowed to cure, thereby forming a breast shape. The phase change material has a latent heat of fusion at a melting point so as to remove heat from the wearer when the body temperature is at least at the melting point. The breast shape is removed from the mold and the dissolvable beads are dissolved from the breast shape.

Hydrogels comprising a macromolecular matrix and water may be used to augment soft tissue of a human being, promote or support cell or tissue viability or proliferation, create space in tissue, and for other purposes. A macromolecular matrix may comprise a hyaluronic acid component crosslinked to a silk fibroin component.
