| WHAT ARE MOST WOMEN DECIDING TO
DO?
The safe, non-surgical option is to wear a breast prosthesis, which is the choice for 80 percent of women following mastectomy. Breast prosthesis, also called a breast form, is worn externally to closely resemble the appearance, feel and weight of a natural breast.
Finely tapered edges create a smooth, natural transition from the form to your body. Forms quickly adapt to your body temperature and, for added comfort, feature concave back panels to promote air circulation.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER BENEFITS OF A WEIGHTED SILICONE BREAST FORM?
The silicone breast form provides better balance, which may prevent back, neck and posture problems. Many women say an external breast form restores their emotional balance as well, helping them regain their confidence and improve their overall quality of life. Each form is encased in a soft, natural feeling “skin” and comes cradled in an attractively designed box that can be confidently displayed on your dressing table. Included with each form are a comfortable cotton-backed lingerie cover and a two-year product warranty.
Most insurance companies reimburse for breast prosthesis and mastectomy bras but it is important to check with them for specific coverage.

HOW ARE BREAST FORMS WORN?
A traditional breast form is usually worn in a specially fitted mastectomy bra with a stitched pocket to hold the form in place. Prosthesis pockets are ingeniously designed right into the cup to discretely carry you through any activity, including swimming. If choosing the attachable style, a skin friendly adhesive system is used so the breast form moves with the body, allowing you full freedom of movement. An attachable breast form is so natural it can be worn with a designer bra, mastectomy bra or even braless, giving you total convenience, natural comfort, personal freedom and that all important “it’s part of me” sensation.
