A three-dimensional prosthesis is described in the shape of a body part comprising at least one three-dimensional matrix having an essentially fibrous or porous structure and containing a hyaluronic acid derivative, said prosthesis, contains at least two of said three-dimensional matrixes, the first of said three-dimensional matrixes incorporating or being adhered to the second and possible further matrixes, said three-dimensional matrix(es) optionally incorporating and/or being adhered to a bidimensional perforated matrix and containing a hyaluronic acid derivative. This prosthesis is used for reconstruction of human or animal body part.
