ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In an inplantable breast prosthesis of the type intended to be inflated with liquid there is a self-sealing valve for adjusting the liquid volume in the prosthesis. The valve is thimble-shaped, the open end being guarded by a self-sealing gel plug which receives the needle of a hypodermic while the closed end acts as a stop preventing further insertion of the needle which might otherwise puncture the prosthesis. The contents of the hypodermic reach the prosthesis interior through apertures in the valve which lie normal to the direction of needle entry. A method of post- implantation treatment consists of adjusting the dose of steroid in the interior of the prosthesis. -1-
