What is breast prosthesis?
External breast prosthesis is an artificial breast form that is worn after a mastectomy. Choosing to wear breast prosthesis is a personal decision. Prosthesis is made from several different types of materials, such as silicone gel, foam and fiberfill. Silicone prosthesis feel similar to natural breast tissue and are usually weighted to feel the same as the remaining breast. It fits snugly into the pocket of a post-mastectomy bra.
