Wearing the right prosthesis can make a huge difference to your well-being.
Why is it important to wear an exoprosthesis?
Breast prostheses and inlays are designed for women after breast cancer surgery. They can be used after a mastectomy, breast conserving surgery (sectoral) or breast reconstruction when increased volume is required for complete symmetry.
The breast prosthesis should resemble the second breast as accurately as possible in appearance and shape, creating a natural silhouette of the body. High-quality prostheses look like real breasts, move naturally when walking and fall off when the woman lies down. However, breast prostheses have more than just a cosmetic purpose; There are also medical indications for wearing them. With the weight of a real breast, a properly fitted prosthesis can help prevent conditions such as lymphedema, poor posture or shoulder problems.
Professional prosthetists take into account the individual needs of each woman, helping her choose the right breast prosthesis. Among the options offered, there are silicone breast prostheses with special functions, such as, for example, a self-adhesive surface, or a prosthesis with a layer that “can” itself take the desired shape and adapt to the chest or the area of the woman’s postoperative scar. The main thing is the comfortable state of health of the owner of a breast prosthesis. Any breast prosthesis quickly takes on body temperature and is not perceived by a woman separately from her body. In addition, innovative technologies have been developed that, in some types of breast prostheses, allow precise temperature control, providing its owner with a high level of comfort and freshness throughout the day. This is especially suitable for women undergoing hormone therapy or menopause, as well as those who engage in physical exercise that results in increased sweating.
A wide range of silicone breast prostheses with specific shapes, properties and applications provide the basis for optimal patient care depending on their needs. Breast pads can also be worn by women who naturally have different sized breasts to enhance their body shape and boost their confidence.
To securely secure a breast prosthesis or pad, there are special bras with built-in pockets. Beautifully designed, these bras have features such as a slightly high neckline, wide sides, soft reinforced straps to meet the needs of women who wear breast prostheses. Since many women enjoy swimming, especially after breast surgery, special swimsuits have been developed with similar functions. Pockets securely hold breast prostheses, allow comfortable movement and maintain a natural silhouette.
For the ideal selection of a prosthesis, specialized stores, clinics and hospitals provide individual consultations with trained and certified prosthetists in the field of mastectomy.
A properly fitted breast prosthesis is of great importance for your daily well-being.
Amoena breast prostheses are designed to provide optimal comfort and functionality. Although we understand that with so many options to choose from, choosing the right denture can be an overwhelming task!
To make the process easier, we have assigned the bra cup shape and the shape of our products a number and letter system similar to those used for clothing such as jeans and bras. There are three simple steps to choose the right product.
Step 1: cup fullness
First, select the cup size you want. What kind of breasts do you have: (1) mature, (2) average or (3) full?
Step 2: form
Then choose a shape: (S) symmetrical, (A) asymmetrical or (E) special. Generally, the symmetrical shape works best for women who have had a conventional mastectomy. An asymmetrical breast shape is better in cases where lymph nodes or tissue have been removed from under the armpit.
Step 3: size
All Amoena breast prostheses are available in a wide range of sizes up to a minimum of size 11 or up to size 17
Size chart
How to choose the right cup size:
Women's breasts not only vary in cup size and bra size, but also in cup shapes. To make the perfect fit, Amoena offers three different cup shapes.
On the exoform they are designated by numbers 1-3 (mature, medium and full cup shapes, respectively) for example, Contact Amoena 2S. Once you have determined the correct exoshape size, select a cup shape. To do this, compare the corresponding drawings on the left with the profile of the woman's remaining breasts while she is wearing a bra, and choose the best option.
You can also use a tight-fitting T-shirt during the selection process. Tip: Women with a small bra size have a full cup shape, while women with a larger bra size have a flat, mature cup shape.
After a mastectomy, it is difficult to do without a breast prosthesis. It is installed both surgically and non-surgically in the form of onlays. Imitation of breasts allows you to hide the consequences of surgery, look attractive even in open clothes and feel confident.
How is an endoprosthesis useful after a mastectomy?
Endoprosthetics is a type of reconstructive mammoplasty that can be used to create ideal shapes. The operation is performed under anesthesia, so there are some contraindications:
- Intolerance to the constituent components of anesthesia;
- Blood clotting disorders, diseases of the circulatory system;
- Disorders of the psyche, nervous system and psycho-emotional state;
- Diseases of blood vessels, heart, heart failure;
- Diabetes mellitus, metabolic and endocrine system dysfunctions.
Endoprostheses during mastectomy are inserted with a special endoscope and filled with saline solution. The doctor may place a temporary expander or a permanent implant, depending on the patient’s wishes and medical indications.
How to choose a breast prosthesis after a mastectomy
In order not to undergo another surgical intervention, it is recommended to use external breast prostheses. The choice of a suitable model depends on its properties and characteristics:
What are the advantages of overlays after mastectomy?
Silicone pads are a practical and useful device. They are inserted into a bra or glued to the skin, simulating breasts. Overhead silicone inserts have many advantages:
- Does not require surgery or anesthesia;
- Completely repeat the shape of the bust;
- Reliably fastened, eliminating deformation;
- Easy to use, easy to remove;
- Allows you to wear a deep neckline.
If you are in doubt about what type of prosthetics you need, consult a specialist. Call the number listed on the website and make an appointment with a doctor.
We talked with a doctor, candidate of medical sciences, associate professor Oksana Antonovna Shabanova and asked to answer several important questions about the rehabilitation period and the return to a full life of women who have undergone surgery to remove the mammary gland.
Oksana Antonovna, what set of rehabilitation measures is indicated in the postoperative period? What are the contraindications and restrictions?
First, let's discuss what major changes occur in a woman's body:
- Shoulder stiffness and poor posture
- Lymphedema, lymphostasis
One of the serious complications of radical antitumor treatment of breast cancer is the development of lymphedema (secondary lymphedema) of the upper limb on the side of the operation. Moreover, immediately after radical mastectomy, the latent period can range from 1-2 weeks to several years. In patients with late edema, in most cases, a violation of venous outflow in the axillary-subclavian segment of the vein is detected, which is explained by the development of cicatricial changes.
Contraindications for the treatment of lymphedema:- Patients with relapse/metastasis should not undergo lymphedema relieving therapy to avoid further tumor spread;
Patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, as well as those taking anticoagulants, should undergo ultrasound and Doppler examination before starting treatment to exclude deep vein thrombosis. During treatment, they must undergo all necessary tests in a timely manner (prothrombin time, etc.;
If pain occurs, treatment should be stopped until the causes are clarified and the pain stops;
Erysipelas is also a contraindication to the use of compression therapy;
- Hydrokinesitherapy (swimming pool)
- Therapeutic gymnastics
Contraindications to exoprosthetics are:
Progression of the underlying disease;
Relapse into a postoperative scar;
Complications after complex treatment: divergence of the edges of the postoperative wound as a result of repeated courses of polychemotherapy or radiation therapy according to a radical program;
In addition to a properly selected exoprosthesis, it is of great importance, the main function of which is reliable fixation of the exoprosthesis. Special bras are designed for use together with exoprostheses and provide the necessary safety and comfort when wearing these prostheses. The straps are specially designed: they are padded, widened in the shoulder area, do not cut into the skin, reduce pressure on the shoulders, preventing lymphedema. should fit tightly so that the prosthesis does not change position when moving and bending. The main thing in choosing a bra is functionality, without excluding attractiveness.
- Postmastectomy depression
Loss of the mammary gland is not only a physical disability, but also a severe mental trauma that affects women’s adaptation in everyday life and society. Women who have undergone a mastectomy tend to exaggerate the cosmetic consequences of the operation, negatively evaluate their appearance, and focus on the change, in their opinion, in the attitude of others towards them.
Approximately 25% of women after mastectomy experience severe depression (difficulty coming to terms with their appearance, loss of breasts; fear of relapse), even thoughts of suicide. The impossibility of coming to terms with what happened and returning to normal life requires the help of an experienced psychotherapist. At the same time, quick and effective cosmetic correction of a postmastectomy defect (and selection) can reduce the level of asthenic-anxious-depressive state, which contributes to the successful adaptation of women in everyday life and society.
Of the psychocorrective methods of rehabilitation, we should highlight those that prevent the processes of self-isolation and immersion in illness. From this position, any type of psychotherapy should be carried out in natural conditions of group communication, which allows you to remove the inferiority complex and believe in recovery. At the stage of active rehabilitation, it is necessary to create conditions for attracting women to specialized recreational swimming groups. Of particular importance in overcoming depression are the natural and climatic factors of sanatorium-resort treatment. Finding themselves in the new environment of a sanatorium-resort institution, patients stop recording their somatic sensations and quickly recover from a severe stressful situation. As a rule, after a correct (based on faith in recovery) implementation of a set of rehabilitation measures, post-mastectomy depression can be overcome.
How long after surgery can I choose and wear a silicone exoprosthesis?
The mammary gland is designed for the early rehabilitation period (a few days after surgery) made of delicate cotton or microfiber. There are many primary compensation bras with a prosthetic pocket made from cotton and microfiber to suit different tastes. Fashionable design, functionality and optimal reliability will help solve the problem for the first time after mastectomy.
Silicone breast exoprostheses are best suited for permanent wear; they ideally provide a feeling of naturalness and reliability. Exoprostheses have almost all the characteristics that are characteristic of a healthy mammary gland: color, consistency, shape, surface, elasticity. New generation exoprostheses have a soft inner surface that provides minimal touch and friction with your own tissues, especially in the area of the postoperative scar. External silicone prostheses completely imitate the nipple-areolar area of the gland. The shape of prostheses can be round, teardrop-shaped, symmetrical, asymmetrical, sectoral.
For two months after surgery, temporary lightweight prostheses are used that do not interfere with the healing of sutures. Postoperative prostheses are lightweight, do not interfere with the healing of sutures, and do not injure the skin of the breast - intended for temporary (2 months) use.
Then various exoprostheses are prescribed according to indications:
For continuous daytime wear, use 1 month after surgery;
Special prosthetics for gymnastics and swimming;
A silicone prosthesis can and should be worn 6-8 weeks after surgery. If the seam has completely healed - permanently. If a woman is undergoing radiation therapy or the postoperative scar has not yet fully formed - 2-3 hours a day. This will avoid the development of complications such as scoliosis.
Today, there are symmetrical (can be used on both the right and left side) and asymmetrical (left and right) breast exoprostheses. The shape of symmetrical exoprostheses can be different: teardrop-shaped, oval, etc. The shape of asymmetrical prostheses must fully correspond to the shape of a healthy mammary gland.
Properly selected, it is not only a cosmetic product that helps women hide postoperative tissue deficiency, but is also used as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent that promotes rapid adaptation of injured tissues. In combination with special underwear or a swimsuit, the exoprosthesis literally becomes part of the woman herself.
What characteristics of a prosthesis are important to look for when choosing a manufacturer?
Exoprostheses must be made from environmentally friendly modern materials that have passed strict dermatological and physiological control (have various quality certificates, for example, international - TUV).
A good prosthesis is one that you will not think about for a single minute during the day.
How many hours a day can exoprosthetics be worn?
Women's breasts are unique and differ not only in the volume of the cup, but also in its shape. To achieve ideal selection and fit, most manufacturers offer three different shapes of the exoprosthesis cup - for mature, average and full breasts.
Women with small underbust volume tend to have full breasts, while women with large underbust volume tend to have mature breasts.
How to choose the right exoprosthesis size: First, you need to measure your breast volume and determine the appropriate cup.
Outdated orthopedic views about the need to eliminate weight imbalance after mastectomy by primitively selecting an exoprosthesis with the same weight are now recognized as one of the reasons for the development of postmastectomy syndrome due to increased load on the vessels of the shoulder.
The process of selecting an exoprosthesis consists of three steps:
1. Completeness
One thing to consider is whether the fullness of the remaining breast is: (1) mature, (2) medium full, or (3) full?
By looking at the remaining mammary gland, you can determine which of the following shapes is more suitable (if both mammary glands are removed, then what size and shape would the woman choose: (c) symmetrical, (a) asymmetrical (e) Extra volume, (y) universal.
Generally speaking, symmetrical breast shapes are better after a standard mastectomy, while asymmetrical breast shapes are more suitable if lymph nodes and large amounts of armpit tissue have been removed.
3.Bra size
To determine the size and shape of the breasts, it is necessary to measure the volume under the breasts and the distance from the middle of the chest, through the highest point of the remaining breast, to the middle of the back, to determine the size of a suitable bra. The fit of the bra is critical to achieving a natural breast shape and is very important.
In what cases is wearing a massage exoprosthesis indicated?
One of the most fashionable and popular breast prostheses of this American brand, which completely hides any breast asymmetry that has arisen after the removal of part of the breast tissue during a mastectomy operation. These massage breast prostheses from the USA belong to the Pink Line ABC line and are the ideal breast shape for women who want to feel more confident and easy in any environment, both statically and during sudden and intense movements.
The front layer of the ABC Massage Form exoprosthesis is made of lightweight silicone, and the back layer is made of standard silicone. Silicone gel channels on the back layer provide optimal air circulation and a “massage” effect on the chest wall, resulting in reduced sweat throughout the day. The massage form of the prosthesis itself is asymmetrical and fills the deficiency of breast tissue, creating maximum safety from displacement and comfort. This massage breast prosthesis is best worn with a bra that provides support and fixation to the breasts. The effect of constant massage created by the ABS massage exoprosthesis is especially necessary for women with lymphedema and lymphostasis of the arm formed after a mastectomy.
Oksana Antonovna, what recommendations can you give for psycho-emotional assistance to women after radical mastectomy? How can those close to her help a woman go through the postoperative recovery period more comfortably?
One of the severe consequences after radical mastectomy is postmastectomy depression. Loss of the mammary gland is not only a physical disability, but also a severe mental trauma that affects a woman’s behavior in everyday life and society. Women who have undergone a mastectomy tend to exaggerate the cosmetic consequences of the operation, negatively evaluate their appearance, and focus on the change, in their opinion, in the attitude of others towards them.
Approximately 25% of women after mastectomy experience severe depression (difficulty coming to terms with their appearance, loss of breasts; fear of relapse), even thoughts of suicide. The impossibility of coming to terms with what happened and returning to normal life requires, in some cases, the help of an experienced psychotherapist. At the same time, quick and effective cosmetic correction of a postmastectomy defect (exoprosthetics and selection of specialized underwear) can reduce the level of depression, which contributes to the successful adaptation of women in the family and society.
Of the psychocorrective methods of rehabilitation, we should highlight those that prevent the processes of self-isolation and immersion in illness. From this perspective, any type of psychotherapy should be carried out in natural conditions of group communication, which allows one to remove the inferiority complex and believe in recovery. At the stage of active rehabilitation, it is necessary to create conditions for attracting women to specialized groups for recreational swimming, yoga therapy, etc. A special place in overcoming depression belongs to natural and climatic factors during sanatorium and resort treatment. Finding themselves in the new environment of a sanatorium-resort institution, patients quickly recover from a severe stressful situation.
As a rule, after correct (based on faith in recovery) implementation of a set of rehabilitation measures, postmastectomy depression can be overcome.

Women's breasts are unique and differ not only in the volume of the cup, but also in its shape. To achieve perfect selection and fit, most manufacturers offer three different shapes of the exoprosthesis cup – for mature, medium and full breasts.
Each of the three forms are in most cases displayed on the packaging of the breast prosthesis. For your convenience, the description of the goods presented in our online store must indicate the completeness of the exoform.
Once you have selected the appropriate size of the breast prosthesis, you can begin to determine the shape of the cup. Then compare the picture ( indicated next to the name)on the packaging sticker with the profile of the preserved breast of a woman wearing a bra, and find the greatest similarity. A tight top can serve as proof of a perfect fit , which allows you to determine the symmetry of the silhouette and the conformity of the shape.
Women with small underbust volume tend to have full breasts, while women with large underbust volume tend to have mature breasts.
How to choose the right exoprosthesis size
First measure your bust size and determine the appropriate cup.
Then, determine the appropriate breast prosthesis size by moving down the column from the intersection of the measurement values.
The size chart is a guide to help you in the selection process. In any case, you must rely on your feelings.

Outdated orthopedic views about the need to eliminate weight imbalance after mastectomy by primitively selecting an exoprosthesis with the same weight are now recognized as one of the reasons for the development of postmastectomy syndrome due to increased load on the vessels of the shoulder.
In the early 90s, the first publications appeared on the therapeutic effects of silicone gel plates. These studies show that silicone coating alone (without pressure dressings) reduces excess scarring and is completely non-toxic and non-irritating to the tissue.
In the early 2000s, the latest technology was developed, including the use of adhesive silicone on the surface of the exoprosthesis, ensuring reliable fixation of the exoprosthesis directly to the body, the so-called “adhesive exoform”.
Adhesive exoprostheses
The adhesive exoform is fixed directly on the skin and perfectly imitates the breast in color, shape and movement. It has invaluable benefits of rapid breast recovery.
A correctly selected adhesive exoform is not only a cosmetic product, but is also used as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent that prevents the processes of fibrosis and the formation of keloid scars.
The results of clinical trials of adhesive exoforms indicate not only the absence of any allergic manifestations, but also a significant acceleration of epithelization, a decrease in pain (43%), and a decrease in the incidence of lymphedema (60%).
It has been demonstrated that the silicone coating of the exoprosthesis reduces the processes of dermal atrophy and excessive scar formation. In 80% of patients, the adhesive exoform is felt as part of their own body.
In European countries, for women who have undergone a mastectomy, adhesive exoprosthetics are used as an alternative to plastic surgery or in cases where it is not possible for medical reasons.
The main requirement for the use of an adhesive exoform is to maintain the cleanliness of the adhesive surface and the area of skin on which it is applied. Wearing an exoform is indicated 6 months after surgery. The optimal period of wearing the exoform is 12 hours a day.
Exoprostheses without polyurethane film
The new invention of the Irish company is the unique impressions exoprosthesis, the only one at the moment, created without the use of polyurethane film. Ideal for all types of surgery. The main advantage of the exoprosthesis is the absence of a film that contributes to heating of the body surface in contact with the exoprosthesis. The prosthesis consists entirely of 100% medical silicone, which does not cause allergies or skin irritation, and also promotes scar healing and smoothing. The exoprosthesis perfectly follows the contours of the body, filling in irregularities and missing tissue. Due to natural adhesion, this prosthesis adheres directly to the skin. It is very durable and if it is damaged, the silicone does not leak, and the prosthesis itself does not lose its properties.
During movement, the prosthesis is always formed in a new way; in the quiet phase, it retains stable shapes. The soft, elastic material remains constantly pleasant to the body – without putting pressure on the sensitive scar area.
Exoprostheses with thermoregulation
The latest development of exoprosthesis manufacturers - thermoregulating technology - reduces sweating and equalizes the temperature between the body and the prosthesis.
The latest development of technology with thermoregulation. The thermoregulation system of the prosthesis is based on the integration of a special gel layer from the inner surface of the prosthesis, which allows it to absorb heat, thereby creating a temperature balance between the prosthesis and the operated surface, as well as maximum comfort when wearing it. It is used in both early and late postoperative periods.
Indispensable for women during menopause and during the summer.
Modern breast exoprostheses, used every day, have a number of properties similar to those of real breasts. They have a soft and delicate structure, quickly adapt to body temperature, are reliable and durable.
If the size is accurately selected and the exoprosthesis is used correctly, no side effects are usually observed; however, the exoprosthesis should not be worn for more than 12 hours a day.
How Patented Thermoregulation Technology Works
Breast implants with thermoregulatory technology maintain an even and comfortable temperature, allowing a woman to stay fresh and feel protected throughout the day.
The initial temperature environment for both prostheses is 20 o C;
As the environment heats up, exoprostheses with thermoregulation technology remain noticeably cooler and therefore more comfortable for the woman;
Exoprostheses with thermoregulation maintain a much more uniform and comfortable temperature;
After the heating period is complete, both dentures finally reach the same temperature;
When the natural cooling process begins, the thermoregulatory exoprosthesis promotes a more gradual decrease in temperature;
Once the environment has cooled, a breast prosthesis with thermoregulatory technology retains heat longer, providing a smoother transition so that the woman does not feel the presence of the prosthesis.
Without thermoregulation With thermoregulation
Women experience psychological trauma caused by the loss of an organ. To return to normal life, prostheses are used, among which breast exoprostheses are very popular. They are highly aesthetic and can return a woman to a normal life.
Types of prosthetics
There are two types of prosthetics used in medicine: exoprosthetics and endoprosthetics. Each type has its own characteristics.
Breast exoprostheses are usually made from environmentally friendly materials, namely silicone. The outside is covered with a polyurethane shell. The prosthesis has varying degrees of softness, size, weight, and appearance.
Exoprostheses are used externally. Its main goal is to hide existing defects from the eyes of others. Exoprostheses also have a number of medical indications. They are indicated for lymphostasis, to distribute the load on the muscular system when one gland is removed.
Advantage of using
Breast exoprostheses have a number of advantages over other types of prosthetics. They are able to hide a breast defect from others, and also help distribute the load on the spine and muscular system. If weight distribution after mastectomy occurs unevenly, this will lead to serious changes in the musculoskeletal system.
When using an exoprosthesis, a woman can remove it at any time. This type of prosthetics allows the skin to breathe and there is no re-emergence of cancer cells, as often happens with endoprosthetics.
Exoprostheses
Modern exoprostheses of the mammary glands are simulators of the mammary glands, which are very convenient to use. The use of external products allows you to put them on and take them off at any time. Properly selected models help disguise cosmetic defects.
Exoprosthetics, unlike endoprosthetics, has no contraindications. Such prostheses are made by different manufacturers, from which the consumer only has to choose a model.
Breast exoprostheses are mainly made from silicone. On the outside, the product is a case with silicone gel inside. Externally, it has all the characteristics of the mammary glands: consistency, shape, elasticity, shade. When worn, the prosthesis does not cause friction, since the models have minimal contact with the breast tissue.
Silicone exoprostheses come in a variety of shapes. They can be round or oval, or have a teardrop shape. There are asymmetrical, sectoral or symmetrical options. The first type helps eliminate breast defects after radical mastectomy. If organ-preserving operations were performed, then sectoral prostheses are used.
Application of a prosthesis
As you can see in the photo, breast exoprostheses look natural. They allow a woman to play sports and wear any clothes. Silicone is a material that can be easily processed. Its use allows you to achieve natural
To wear a prosthesis, you need a special bra. It provides reliable fixation of the exoprosthesis. The difference between special bras and ordinary ones is that they are sewn taking into account the need to hide the exoprosthesis from prying eyes.
Every woman wants to have it. If she is struck by a misfortune, as a result of which part or all of her breasts are lost, then the woman begins to feel great discomfort. A silicone exoprosthesis helps you return to normal life; it is invisible under clothing and does not cause any inconvenience.
