For survivors of breast cancer, the physical and emotional toll can be immense. One of the effects that many women experience is the loss of nipples due to treatments or surgeries. This can have a significant impact on quality of life, affecting not only how we view ourselves but our ability to participate in everyday activities such as wearing certain clothes or bathing suit options.
Fortunately, silicone prosthesis are now available as an option for those who wish to regain their confidence and sense of self. These prosthetics look incredibly natural and feel like real skin, allowing you to go about your day-to-day life with a sense of assurance restored. They are also an important part of post-surgery reconstruction, as they help restore symmetry to breasts affected by mastectomy. With the right care and attention, these prosthetics can be used to great benefit for women looking to improve their self-esteem in the wake of this difficult diagnosis.
The silicone prosthetic usually consists of two parts: a front piece and a back piece that attach onto the skin with adhesive or by sutures. They are moulded from the existing breast or photos and painted to match the colour of the existing areola- and with the help of silicone, they recreate the look and feel of natural nipples, making them virtually indistinguishable from the original.
The result is often life-changing for these women who may have felt embarrassed or uncomfortable about their appearance after mastectomy surgery. By providing them with an affordable, comfortable solution, these prosthetics help restore their sense of self-worth and normalcy in life again.
