Silicone Breast Forms & Mastectomy Silicone Accessories

Learn How Silicone Breast Forms Can Enhance Your Look

Silicone breast forms, commonly known as breast prostheses or breast implants, are artificial breast enhancements made from medical-grade silicone. They are designed to simulate the look, feel, and weight of natural breasts. Primarily used by individuals who have undergone mastectomy, breast augmentation, or those who desire to enhance their breast size, silicone breast forms come in various shapes, sizes, and skin tones to suit different body types and preferences.

Here are some key aspects and considerations about silicone breast forms:

  1. Material and Construction: Silicone breast forms are typically made from silicone gel encapsulated in a silicone shell. The silicone gel is soft, pliable, and feels similar to natural breast tissue. The outer shell is designed to be durable and mimic the texture of the skin.
  2. Types: There are various types of silicone breast forms available, including full-cup forms that cover the entire breast area, partial or half-cup forms, adhesive or attachable forms, and asymmetrical forms designed specifically for unilateral mastectomy patients. These forms can also come in different profiles, such as teardrop or symmetrical shapes, to suit different body shapes and clothing styles.
  3. Purpose: For individuals who have undergone a mastectomy (surgical removal of one or both breasts), wearing silicone breast forms can help restore body symmetry, improve posture, and provide a sense of confidence and femininity. They can also be used by transgender individuals or cross-dressers to achieve a more feminine silhouette.
  4. Fitting and Sizing: It is crucial to select the right size and shape to ensure a natural appearance. Contact us to assist in choosing the appropriate form that aligns with the body's contours and remaining breast tissue.
  5. Maintenance and Care: Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and hygiene of silicone breast forms. Cleaning them regularly with mild soap and water and storing them in a proper container or pouch helps maintain their shape and integrity.
  6. Comfort and Wearing: Silicone breast forms are designed to be comfortable and lightweight for everyday wear. They are usually worn inside specially designed bras or attached directly to the skin using adhesive, depending on the type.
  7. Cost and Accessibility: The cost of silicone breast forms can vary based on the brand, size, and features. Some insurance companies may cover the cost of breast forms for mastectomy patients. They are available at specialized lingerie stores, medical supply shops, and online retailers.
  8. Consultation and Support: It's recommended to consult with healthcare professionals or support groups specializing in breast cancer, mastectomy, or gender transition for guidance on choosing the right type of breast form and for emotional support during the adjustment period.

Silicone breast forms have significantly improved over the years, offering a natural appearance and enhancing the quality of life for individuals who seek breast augmentation, reconstruction, or simply desire body symmetry and confidence.
