Moving Forward.... Following a Mastectomy Your diagnosis of breast cancer has led to decisions about surgery and treatment. Whether you've undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy, one of your next decisions involve the selection of an external breast form (prosthesis). Breast forms are designed to look and feel similar in weight, texture, and color to the natural breast. They are worn outside the body in special pocketed bra (mastectomy bra). In addition to creating a symmetrical appearance, the form will replace weight to restore the body's natural balance. Following a Lumpectomy Depending on the amount of tissue removed during surgery, the size of your breasts, and your lifestyle, you may need to consider a partial breast shell or forms to equalize where tissue was removed. Following Reconstruction On occasion, women who have had Reconstruction will find that there is still a noticeable difference between the remaining breast and the reconstructed breast. When this is the case, you can be fit with a partial form to create a symmetrical silhouette. We carry a complete selection of silicone breast forms from the leading manufacturers CAMP abd Amoena.
