Breast Prosthesis

Prosthesis: an external breast form that may be worn in a bra after a mastectomy. Also, the technical name of a breast form that is placed under the skin in breast reconstruction.

Exactly what is a breast prosthesis?

A breast form or breast prosthesis is an artificial breast that is used after a surgery in which the breast has been removed or altered. Whether the loss of the breast is permanent or temporary, a breast form can be worn to simulate the natural breast and body shape. Full breasts and partial breasts, also called equalizers, can be purchased to balance the appearance depending on what type of surgical procedure was performed. These forms come in a variety of materials and they can be worn inside a bra or attached to the body with a special adhesive.

Types of forms on the market: Foam, Silicone, Fiberfill

The external Silicone Breast Forms are the most popular since they are weighted and have the most realistic feel. There are some available that have a simple adhesive back that can be used over and over again. These adhesive backs are skin friendly and hypoallergenic.
Cost is also a factor that must be taken into account. Silicone forms are usually more expensive than foam or other forms. However, the silicone forms are a better quality. When looking at silicone forms; the higher the priced silicone forms does not necessarily mean the best product to fit you.

There are many options out there to choose from. The most important thing to keep in mind is what you feel comfortable in. If you feel comfortable, confident, and happy, then you will come off as confident to those around you.
