For breast cancer survivors, a custom breast prosthesis can offer the chance to feel like themselves again. Whether you’ve had a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or any other form of breast cancer surgery, you may struggle to find the confidence to look in the mirror.
Many women opt out of breast reconstruction surgery to avoid further invasive treatment. These women often decide to wear custom-made breast prostheses, which allow them to regain their confidence and feel like their former selves. Discover the benefits of these state-of-the-art products and how you can thrive post-mastectomy.
Benefits of Custom Breast Prosthesis
There are many benefits to a custom breast prosthesis, including:
Personalized Shape
To ensure your prosthesis fits perfectly, a custom-made design is made using specifications obtained from scans of your remaining breast and chest wall. The back of the breast form is designed based on your chest wall and surgical site to ensure it fits perfectly. This ensures that you receive the shaped prosthesis of your choice, ensuring it fits securely in your mastectomy bra, giving you the most proportional, balanced look.
Natural Appearance
Unlike off-the-shelf prostheses, custom-made models allow you to choose the colors that match your areola and skin tone. It also contours to the curves of your body, ensuring your prosthesis looks as natural as possible.
Comfortable Fit
Opting for a custom-made design allows you to work with the certified mastectomy fitter to create the exact prosthesis you need. The personalized fit ensures that the breast form won’t shift or slip and won’t irritate your skin, giving you the most comfortable wearing experience.
