Undoubtedly, breast prostheses and special underwear are an important stage of rehabilitation after surgical treatment. And also prosthetics is used when a woman is not happy with the shape or size of her breasts.
Types of breast prostheses
Prostheses after removal of the breast can be divided into two groups:
- exoprosthesis of the breast - that is, dentures for external use;
- endoprosthesis of the breast, for the application of which surgical intervention is necessary.
Exoprosthesis of mammary glands involves the use of external inserts and linings that mimic the breast. It is a removable denture that is easy to use. Most often inside it is filled with silicone gel. To the touch, appearance and color of such an artificial limb does not differ from a normal mammary gland. Due to the variety, it is possible to choose an exoprosthesis suitable for weight and size. Such a prosthesis, imitating the removed mammary gland, helps maintain proper posture. In the future, this prevents the appearance of muscle pain and back problems.
Endoprosthetics of the mammary glands are used for the purpose of reconstructing the removed organ or for aesthetic reasons. In this case, the material for the prosthesis can serve as its own tissue or artificial implants. The most common prostheses are a dense shell with internal filling in the form of a special silicone gel, which differs from the content of the exoprosthesis. Such prosthetics of mammary glands can successfully eliminate the emerging cosmetic defect.
Linen for breast prosthesis
Modern prostheses repeat the natural form and look natural. But for greater convenience, a bra is needed for a breast prosthesis, which has the following functions:
- It fixes the prosthesis well, keeping it from shifting and falling out;
- Special sewing and the shape of the cups makes it possible to hide the presence of a prosthesis.
To date, every woman who has undergone a mastectomy can choose the right linen for every taste.
In addition to underwear, you can purchase original swimsuits for a breast prosthesis, including designer models. The technique of sewing such swimsuits ensures a good fixation of the exoprosthesis in the bodice. And reliably hide the presence of the prosthesis helps bright colors, which correspond to the main fashion trends.
