Breast prostheses

Breast prostheses are breast forms intended to simulate breasts. There are a number of materials and designs; although, the most common construction is silicone gel in a plastic skin. Off-the shelf breast prostheses come in a range of shapes and sizes, while customised breast prostheses are moulded to fit an individual's chest by taking an impression of both breasts and sculpting a mirror image. Pals Breast Forms consist of a non silicone gel which can be trimmed to fit with scissors, then sent back for customization. Fabrication of customised prostheses is typically done by an anaplastologist who makes somato prostheses. The areola and nipple may be replicated by being moulded into the breast form or a separate nipple prosthesis may be attached to the breast prosthesis. Both custom made and off-the shelf breast prostheses come in varieties that are designed to either be held in a pocket in a specially designed mastectomy bra or attached to the skin and worn with a standard bra.
Breast prostheses have a long history. In the 19th century they were made of rubber. On 22 September 1885, one Charles L. Morehouse received US patent 326915〔http://patimg1.uspto.gov/.piw?docid=00326915&SectionNum=1&IDKey=387BC5C50731〕 for his "Breast-Pad", made of natural rubber and filled with air at normal pressure.
== Mastectomy ==
Breast prostheses are most commonly used after a mastectomy, usually a consequence of cancer. They may act as an alternative to, or a stopgap measure until, plastic surgery to reconstruct a breast.〔http://canceraustralia.gov.au/affected-cancer/cancer-types/breast-cancer/living-breast-cancer/managing-physical-changes-due-breast-cancer/breast-cancer-and-body-image/breast-prostheses Use of Prostheses〕〔http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/node/1154066 Breast Prostheses〕
