breast prosthesis

A breast prosthesis is a device designed to replace the breast tissue lost after surgery, such as a mastectomy. It can be made of medical-grade silicone or other materials and is shaped to mimic the natural look and feel of a breast. Prostheses can be worn inside a specially fitted bra or attached directly to the skin with adhesive. They help improve symmetry, restore a sense of normalcy, and boost confidence after breast surgery. Prostheses are customizable and come in various sizes, shapes, and textures to match each individual's body and preferences.
