What are Prosthetic Breasts?
When a part of the body is missing, the artificial replacement used is called a prosthetic. Many people find it extremely beneficial to use a prosthetic since it may restore function and balance, and in appearance, it gives a look of symmetry to the body. This is especially true for women when they have lost all or part of a breast due to mastectomy or lumpectomy. Getting prosthetic breasts (or a single one) and a prosthetic breast bra can prove helpful in balancing weight evenly on the shoulders and providing a symmetrical appearance. Women who have a total mastectomy may, prior to reconstructive surgery or in lieu of it, use prosthetic breasts on both sides, so that the clothes they wore before the mastectomy still fit well.
