Two months after your breast surgery, silicone breast forms are a good way to get back to looking and feeling yourself. A breast prothesis made of silicone is a breast form which replaces the shape of your former breast or part of it.
All our bras have pockets so you can easily insert your prothesis. A light breast form weighs up to 30% lighter than a standard prosthesis, which is normally the same weight as a natural breast. The lighter version is required for certain morphologies (large busts), certain illnesses (osteoporosis, lymphedema) or for use during exercise. Choose the shape of the breast prosthesis based on the shape and curve of your breasts!
External silicone breast prostheses have a lifespan of about 1.5 years. On the other hand, care must be taken to ensure that the prosthesis is well cared for and that the care instructions for the prosthesis are observed. Find all our advice in our blog article: How to take care of your external breast prosthesis?
The selection of an external silicone breast prosthesis is based on several criteria. In fact, you must consider the following:
• The shape of your breast: To do this, stand in front of your mirror and look at your non-surgical breast. Is she rather limp? Or on the contrary very stiff?
• The size of your bra: Correlation tables between the sizes of the bra and those of the prosthesis can be found on all breast prosthesis pages. Once the postoperative bra size is determined, all you have to do is follow the guide to determine the size of your external silicone breast prosthesis.
• Breast symmetry: determine the shape of your breasts in front of the mirror. Do you prefer breasts that are slightly deviated, straight or, on the contrary, slightly inward? There are 1001 breast shapes, you will inevitably find a prosthesis that suits your needs.Finally, factors such as an annoying scar or the weight of the breast prosthesis must also be taken into account. If the prosthesis is too heavy, you can opt for lighter versions that relieve your back.Finally, you will find two types of removable silicone external breast prostheses.
