After undergoing surgery to remove the mammary gland in women, psychological trauma caused by organ loss is observed. To return to normal life, prostheses are used, among which breast exoprostheses are very popular. They have high aesthetics and are able to return a woman to a normal life.
Types of prosthetics
In medicine, two types of prosthetics are used: exoprosthetics and endoprosthetics. Each species has its own characteristics.
Exoprostheses of the mammary glands are usually made of environmentally friendly materials, namely silicone. Outside it is covered with a polyurethane shell. The prosthesis has a different degree of softness, size, weight, appearance.
Exoprostheses are used externally. Its main purpose is to hide existing defects from the sight of others. Exoprostheses also have a number of medical indications. They are indicated for lymphostasis, to distribute the load on the muscle apparatus when removing one gland.
Advantage of using
Exoprostheses of the mammary glands have several advantages over other types of prosthetics. They are able to hide the breast defect from others, and also allows you to distribute the load on the spine and muscle system. If the distribution of the weight of the breasts after the mastectomy will occur unevenly, then this will lead to serious changes in the ODE.
When using an exoprosthesis, a woman can remove it at any time. This type of prosthetics allows the skin to breathe and there is no repeated risk of the appearance of cancer cells, as is often the case with endoprosthetics.
Exoprostheses
Modern breast prostheses are imitators of the mammary glands, which are very convenient in operation. The use of external products allows you to put on and take them off at any time. Properly selected models contribute to the masking of cosmetic defects.
Exoprosthetics, unlike endoprosthetics, have no contraindications. Such prostheses are performed by different manufacturers, among which the consumer needs to choose a model.
Basically, exoprostheses of mammary glands are made of silicone. Outside, the product is a case, inside of which there is a silicone gel. Outwardly, it has all the characteristics of the mammary glands: consistency, shape, elasticity, tint. When wearing, the prosthesis does not cause friction, since the models are in minimal contact with the tissues of the chest.
Silicone exoprostheses come in all shapes. They can be round or oval, or have a drop shape. There are asymmetric, sectoral or symmetric options. The first type helps to eliminate a breast defect after a radical mastectomy. If organ-preserving operations were performed, then sectoral prostheses are used.
Use of prosthesis
As can be seen in the photo, breast exoprostheses look natural. They allow a woman to play sports, wear any clothes. Silicone refers to materials that are easy to process. Its use allows you to achieve a natural look of the breast.
To wear a prosthesis, you need a special bra. It provides reliable fixation of the exoprosthesis. The difference between special bras and ordinary bras is that they are sewn taking into account the need to hide the exoprosthesis from prying eyes.
Every woman wants to have a beautiful bust. If trouble has touched, as a result of which part or all of the breast is lost, then the woman begins to feel great discomfort. Silicone exoprosthesis, invisible under clothes and not causing inconvenience, helps to return to normal life.
