Breast cancer leaves behind both physical and mental scars that can affect survivors for the rest of their lives. The stress and changes associated with the cancer, mastectomy and other additional therapies can understandably cause many women to lose confidence in themselves and in their physical appearance. Many women post mastectomy may be offered or directed to stock breast prosthesis as a method of reconstructing their breast contour, either as the final solution, or in the interim before they are able to have a reconstruction. These are often lacklustre in their results, as they are not custom fit to the chest contour of the individual woman, and are not the most aesthetically pleasing, often not matching the contour of the unaffected breast (if they are unilaterally impacted), or not looking or feeling like the same size and shape as their breasts prior to a double mastectomy. In addition to this, stock prostheses do not feel lifelike.
Many women, having been through so much already, do not wish to go through, or are unable to have, any further surgical procedures to reconstruct their breasts or nipples following mastectomy. A custom prosthetic nipple or whole breast can help a woman regain a sense of normalcy in her everyday life by restoring symmetry and a more familiar contour and weight distribution. Prosthetics are also a great option for women who are unhappy with the results after receiving reconstructive surgery. At S.E.E. Prosthetics we are able to help you get a realistic and completely custom prosthesis for your particular situation. Not only will it fit perfectly to your body contour, but it can also be colour matched to you, made as lightweight or heavy, gel-filled or hollow, and hard or soft as you would like; all can be customised according to your preference. We use a digital scanning and design workflow to produce a custom breast prosthesis, tailor-made to your specifications, providing symmetry and peace of mind where stock prostheses, surgery or tattoos do not.
South East Essex Prosthetics is committed to helping women restore their identities and confidence through custom-made breast and nipple prosthetics.
