Frequently Asked Questions: Breast Forms & Prostheses

What is the benefit of the Adapt Air Xtra Light 2S Breast Form?

The Amoena Adapt Air Xtra Light 2S (#326) is a revolutionary adjustable breast form that uses patented air chamber technology. It allows you to customize the volume and fit of the form by adding or releasing air with a personal pump, ensuring a perfect silhouette even if your chest wall is uneven or your weight fluctuates. Additionally, it features temperature-equalizing Comfort+ technology and is 40% lighter than standard-weight silicone forms.

How do the Aqua Wave and Activeflow forms differ for water activities?

While both are designed for active use, they offer different technologies. The Aqua Wave is a clear silicone swim form that is water-resistant and dries quickly, ideal for pool and salt water. The Trulife Activeflow, on the other hand, uses a unique combination of lightweight beads and molded spacer fabric that allows water to flow through and dry rapidly, making it a versatile choice for both swimming and high-impact activities like yoga or jogging.

Which form should I use immediately after surgery?

For the initial healing phase, lightweight fabric forms are recommended. The Premium Priform and Post-Surgical Fibre-fill Puff are designed to be worn immediately after surgery or during radiotherapy. They are exceptionally soft, breathable, and provide a gentle, balanced silhouette without putting pressure on sensitive scar tissue. The Fibre-fill Puff specifically allows you to adjust its fullness by adding or removing fiberfill to match your desired shape.

What is the purpose of the ReCover Shell breast form?

The ReCover Shell is a specialized silicone shaper designed for women who have undergone breast reconstruction or breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). It acts as a thin, corrective layer that fits over the existing breast tissue to fill in any unevenness or volume loss, helping you achieve a symmetrical and natural profile under clothing.

What makes the Natura Xtra Light 2S different from standard silicone forms?

The Natura Xtra Light 2S is engineered to look and feel as natural as possible while being significantly lighter. It is nearly 40% lighter than standard-weight silicone, which helps reduce strain on the neck and shoulders. It features a modern 2S shape for an average cup profile and incorporates "InTouch" soft silicone and Comfort+ technology to manage heat and perspiration throughout the day.
