Breast Forms for Spring

As we leave the cold weather of winter behind us, the warmer temperatures of spring and summer lead to a wardrobe change that many women who have had a mastectomy may find troubling. After surgery, the use of prosthetics or breast forms may lead to a lack of self-confidence since clothing may be a little more revealing than that of sweaters or turtlenecks in winter. Choosing a breast form that looks natural and is comfortable may seem difficult, but with different styles and materials available to women you can do it!!

Choose Your Look and Style

After surgery your choice of a breast form is a personal one. You can choose different forms based upon your wardrobe choice or in the case of a lumpectomy one that is closely identical to any remaining breast tissue. These prostheses offer the wearer a multitude of choices, even ones that may be better suited for warm weather. Options include:

• Lightweight Forms: These are perfect for when you need to wear something lighter or maybe during activities. For instance, the ABC Lightweight Full Triangle Shaper Breast Form Kit features two hollow back forms that covers the entire breast area and provide symmetry after surgery. One option that is 35% lighter than standard silicone is the Nearly Me 375 Extra Lightweight Triangle Breast Forms with Flowable Back . These are specifically designed for women who have uneven chest walls after surgery. Lightweight forms are comfortable as well as functional!! Using a breast form that behaves like natural tissue can enhance confidence. The Anita Care TwinFlex Asymmetric Weight Reduce Prosthesis Breast Form does just this by allowing the form to flatten when the wearer is reclining just like an intact breast.
