Why Wear a Breast Form?
After a mastectomy, breast-conserving surgery or even reconstruction, you might choose to wear a breast form (breast prosthesis) or shaper, to help you feel like yourself again.
Your goal when being fitted for a breast form is to create a natural body silhouette so that you feel balanced, comfortable and confident. High-quality silicone forms behave like a real breast, moving naturally when you walk and lie down.
But breast forms aren’t just cosmetic; there are important medical reasons to wear them. By compensating for the weight of a real breast, a properly fitting breast form helps prevent problems like lymphedema, bad posture or shoulder and neck problems.
Types of Breast Prosthesis
Breast form features and capabilities vary. Depending on your lifestyle and activities, you might choose:
Silicone breast form with an adhesive back - Amoena Contact
Lightweight breast form - Natura Xtra Light
Swim breast prosthesis which is water-resistant and dries quickly - Aqua Wave Swim Breast Forms
Super soft breast form to adapt to scars or tissue - Amoena Natura
Temperature equalizing breast form if you love to workout - Amoena Energy
Partial breast shaper for uneven breast or lumpectomy - Amoena Balance
How to position breast forms.
Comfort should be your main consideration, and with the innovative technologies available, the broad choice includes special shapes, smart options like air-flow channels and even temperature regulation in some breast forms.
Finding a breast form that feels comfortable to you is definitely possible, whatever your needs. With the help of a certified mastectomy fit specialist, you can try on and feel different types of breast form to see which ones work best for you. To find mastectomy fitter use our Store Locator.
How Does a Breast Form Fit?
To securely hold a breast form or symmetry shaper, there are specially designed bras with integral pockets.
While still beautiful to look at, these bras have clever features like a slightly higher neckline and underarm and soft, padded straps. You may also choose a self-adhesive breast form, but we recommend wearing it with a bra, as well.
10 Foods to Eat During Chemo:
It's important to eat healthy foods during chemo, but this doesn't mean you should eat light foods. Your body uses a lot of energy when undergoing chemotherapy, so its important that you eat enough calories. Choosing hearty-yet-healthy foods is a good way to ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs. When prepping your meals, try to incorporate as many nutrient-rich ingredients as possible. The following are great meals to eat during chemo:
Foods to Eat During Chemo:
1. Mashed Potatoes and baked potatoes
Potatoes are easy to prepare, easy to eat, and rich in fiber and nutrients. Add cheddar cheese, butter, sour cream, or bean chili to your potatoes to add flavor, extra protein, fats, and calories.
2. Pasteurized Yogurt with berries and granola
High in protein and rich in nutrients, yogurt is a healthy food that's great for the digestive system. Add texture, fiber, flavor, healthy calories, and extra vitamins by eating your yogurt with fruit and granola.
3. Clean, fresh fruit with cottage cheese
Fruit and cottage cheese makes a delicious and healthy snack, and its a great source of protein and vitamins.
4. Pasta with cream sauce and veggies
Pasta with cream sauce is a filling and delicious meal that provides plenty of energy. Toss in some cooked veggies to add extra nutrients.
5. Bagels with peanut butter or cream cheese
Toasted bagels with cream cheese or peanut butter make a yummy breakfast that's rich in protein, fiber, and healthy calories.
6. Chicken soup with saltine crackers
This classic comfort meal is perfect for days when you're feeling down. The veggies, chicken, broth, and saltine crackers give you lots of nutrients, but are still easy on the stomach.
7. Oatmeal, or cereal and milk
Rich in fiber and easy to digest, oatmeal and cereal make great breakfasts and snacks during chemo. Add extra flavor with cinnamon or maple syrup, and incorporate more nutrients by adding fresh fruits, nuts, and peanut or almond butter.
8. Brown rice and beans
This basic meal is packed with protein and fiber, and is easy on the stomach. Add avocados to incorporate some healthy fats.
9. Scrambled Eggs and Omelettes with Toast
Filled with protein, vitamins, and minerals, eggs are a delicious meal to chomp on during chemo. Make sure your eggs are cooked all the through! Add in cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, and veggies for extra nutrients and protein, and a side of whole grain toast to add some fiber.
10. Salad greens and fresh veggies
There's practically nothing better for your body than fresh veggies! Try eating salads with avocado and cream based dressings to give extra calories and healthy fats.
Many insurance plans have deductibles that re-start when the calendar year rolls over. So now is a good time to remind you to have your breast form and bra fit checked! Most insurance will pay for a new breast form every 2 years, and new bras every year! Call today to book your appointment with our certified Amoena fitters at Lots of Looks 306-789-1011
