A custom external breast form is a custom made external breast prosthesis used to restore physiological symmetry post mastectomy. A scan or cast is made of the chest and a form is designed to match the color, shape and drape of the non-surgical side. The most important thing about a custom form is that it fits, in a puzzle like fashion to the physiological and surgical anomolies of the surgical site on the chest wall. It can be made from a variety of materials, but is usually made from some form of lightweight silicone. In many cases, an individual can not wear a premanufactured and sized silicone form. A Custom form gives a breast cancer survivor a non-surgical option. A custom external breast form is a custom made external breast prosthesis used to restore physiological symmetry post mastectomy.
