Breast prosthesis or partial breast form? How should one decide?

While the external breast prosthesis is intended to compensate for a complete breast removal, the external partial or balancing prosthesis is intended to compensate for the shape of the breast and bust after a partial mastectomy or sometimes a tumorectomy.  

The models of external partial prostheses are varied to meet the specific needs of each woman after breast cancer surgery. The goal of the very discreet silicone breast supplements is to perfectly adapt to your shapes in order to obtain a smooth and therefore natural looking breast.  

With a silicone balancing prosthesis you can:  

Compensate for a part of the breast removed after a partial mastectomy or a zonenectomy, Compensate for a difference in size between two breasts (one breast is larger than the other).

At Oncovia you can find silicone partial breast prostheses from Amoena and Anita Care.

In addition, you can choose between the following products:  

  •    A self-adhesive model, which is bonded directly to your skin like a self-adhesive silicone breast prosthesis.  
  •    A removable external partial prosthesis that is worn with a bra with breast prosthesis pockets.

Choosing the right size of a compensatory prosthesis?

Choosing the size of a partial denture is more technical than choosing an external breast prosthesis.

You will find that some breast implants have universal sizes that range from S to XL. Examples of such sizes include the Ellipse and Varia Amoena models. These sizes refer to the size of the missing tissue that is to be filled.

In addition, other breast augmentation models have similar sizes to full silicone breast prostheses. For example, models such as Amoena's Oval or Delta supplement.

These shapes of breast supplements are designed to compensate more for a difference in size between the two breasts.

First, you need to choose the thickness you want to compensate:

  •    If there is less than 1 cm difference between the two breasts: choose a supplement with a thin thickness.
  •    Between 1 and 2 cm difference between the two breasts: choose a supplement with a medium thickness.
  •    More than 2 cm difference: take a thickness with "volume thickness".

Next, you need to select the size of your partial denture. To do this, follow the size guide for prostheses, which you will find on the page of the respecti
