The effect of a mastectomy due to breast cancer can be devastating to a patient. Major factors are severe body image and self-consciousness which can lead to feeling less feminine or attractive.

Also, apart from the psychological, there are practical problems such as the patient wearing loose clothing in an attempt to hide the appearance of being lopsided due to the loss of the breast tissue.

The congenital absence of the breast is another important factor to be taken into consideration, mainly because this can cause anxiety for girls in midterm puberty. Reconstructive surgery, incorporating silicone implants, is an option that many patients choose.

However, the need for a breast prosthesis may arise when the patient is awaiting reconstruction surgery or implant augmentation that is not an option. The main advantage for the construction of a breast prosthesis is to match the symmetry and skin tone of the patient.

The custom fit will also reduce any unnatural movement. The prosthesis fits inside the bra allowing for a natural appearance; also the custom prosthesis may be used with medical adhesive enabling the patient to go swimming, dancing, etc.

The custom breast prosthesis is made in appearance and feels soft, supple and lifelike as near natural as possible
