Breast Forms For Different Surgery Types

 

At Nicola Jane, we offer a range of breast forms, each suitable for different types of breast surgery and stages of recuperation. It is important to understand which post surgery breast form is the best option for your specific requirements. A breast form should match your natural breast as best as possible, so we offer a choice of shapes and projections to help you achieve this. 

 

Breast Forms For Immediately After Surgery

When you have undergone breast surgery, It is important to have a comfortable and lightweight breast form to wear during the recovery phase. The only breast forms suitable for this early stage are unweighted foam breast forms, Like the moulded foam softie. These are extremely lightweight and low impact to avoid causing any discomfort.

 

Mastectomy Breast Forms

Most Nicola Jane breast forms are suitable to be worn after a mastectomy. The choice comes down to whether you would prefer natural silicone, or a lighter weight option, or whether you intend to use your breast form to swim etc. If you have had a mastectomy, and don't have any further complications, such as lymphoedema, you may wish to jump straight to the style guide below to see what we offer.
 

Partial Or Lumpectomy Breast Forms

If you have had a partial mastectomy, or lumpectomy surgery, you may not need a full breast form. However we also offer a range of options designed to give an even look, including partial breast forms and breast shells. 

After Reconstruction Surgery

Following reconstruction surgery, you will not need to wear a full breast form, however we do offer a range of breast shells, fillers and enhancers designed to give an even, natural shape.
