Do you know?

• Surgical reconstruction can be a decision that waits for a later date?

improving the quality of life
for women following mastectomy surgery.


A custom prosthesis may be ‘medically necessary' and correct for you... if:

Your self esteem and psychological well-being can be improved

•  You prefer non-surgical breast reconstruction over invasive surgery

•  Osteoporosis exists

• Implant surgery is unsuccessful

•  You are not a candidate for surgical reconstruction

• A prefabricated (off-the-shelf) form…

• Does not enhance tissue or muscle voids

•  Does not snug the chest wall

• Is too heavy, causing back and shoulder pain and complications

• Exacerbates lymphedema
