Silicone Full Prosthesis When the right bra has been selected and fitted, it is a time to find the right breast prosthesis; an external silicone breast form which simulate in wight, softness and response, your missing breast. Silicone gel is nearly the same density as the natural tissue, what means a silicone breast prosthesis of the same size would match weight of a remaining breast. That was the beginning, and in 1970s, a production started of a traditional breast prosthesis to help balance woman's body. In recent years, in response to women request, manufacturers started to produce prosthesis lighter than the traditional, by lowering the density of silicon (and the prosthesis) with lightweight fillers. This way the prosthesis can be lighter up to 50%, body friendlier, less strenuous on woman back, and as result, easier to wear for longer time during a day. Differences in body types, undergone surgery, and lifestyle, require every breast prosthesis to be fitted individually by certified fitter. There are four basic shapes of silicone breast forms used to replace missing breast(s) after mastectomy regular weight 30% lighter regular weight 25 % lighter regular weight 25% lighter regular weight 25 % lighter attachable with pebble-like attachable with smooth back custom hand made silicone swim form temperature equalizes with soft back molds gently to uneven The Massage Form - works when you walk : a special removable pad chest wall and fits snugly for the back of this breakthrough breast form between the form and chest wall comfort provides massaging action to your chest wall and features channels of silicone gel for air circulation It was designed for woman with lymphedema l New light weighted breast form with integrated cooling properties * uniquely formulated gel provides optimal cooling system * raised channeling system promotes air circulation * lightweight silicone with satin matte outside skin Above there are an samples of different style, shape, weight, color, and insurance coverage, for silicone breast prosthesis.
