Choosing a Breast Form : Silique Breast Forms

CHOOSING A BREAST FORM

SILIQUE PACKAGE FRONT

EVERY BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR IS DIFFERENT AND HAS DIFFERENT GOALS, LIFESTYLES AND NEEDS. SILIQUE BREAST FORMS ARE AVAILABLE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF SHAPES, SIZES, MATERIALS AND COLORS AND OFFER MANY FEATURES AND BENEFITS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO ANSWER THE NEEDS, FUNCTION AND USABILITY OF A BREAST PROSTHESIS. TODAY’S BREAST FORMS PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR WOMEN WHO WANT TO RECAPTURE OR RECREATE THEIR SILHOUETTE OR SIMPLY PROVIDE THEM WITH A FORM AND SHAPE THAT SURGERY HAS TAKEN AWAY. MANY BREAST PROSTHESES CAN EVEN CREATE SOLUTIONS FOR USE IMMEDIATELY AFTER SURGERY, WITH CONSIDERATION TO REDUCE THE DAMAGE TO SCAR TISSUE AND THE IRRITATION TO AN ALREADY ALTERED CHEST WALL. MANY PROSTHESES CAN RELIEVE PRESSURE TO THE BACK AND SHOLDERS AND STILL PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT SHAPE. SILIQUE HIGHLY RECOMMENDS A VISIT AND CONSULTATION WITH A BOC OR ABC CERTIFIED FITTING CONSULTANT BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING WHICH PROSTHESIS TO PURCHASE. THE EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE OF A TRAINED FITTER WILL MAKE THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS MUCH EASIER, WHILE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT YOUR NEEDS BELOW WE HAVE PROVIDED AN INSIGHT INTO THE BENEFITS AND FEATURES OF EACH SILIQUE SPECIAL SERIES. WE RECOMMEND USING THIS ONLY AS A GUIDE AFTER CONSULTING WITH A TRAINED AND CERTIFIED PROSTHESIS FITTER.
