FAQs

about breast forms

Why do I need a breast form?

Breast forms help restore balance to your skeletal and muscular physiology. When natural weight is removed from your body, the body shifts to accommodate this lesser weight. In the case of mastectomy, this shift can lead to shoulder, neck, and spine problems.

How soon after surgery can I get a breast form?

You can be fitted for a post-surgical breast form immediately following surgery. Many women like these because they help restore some normalcy during the healing process. After you are healed, your doctor will write you a prescription for a silicone breast form. Your certified mastectomy fitter will help you choose which breast form is suitable for your body type and individual needs.

Where can I buy a breast form?

ABC works with retailers around the country who specialize in taking care of your specific mastectomy needs. These women ensure the best fit for you to restore your confidence and keep you looking and feeling great. Use our retailer locator to find a location near you.

How much do breast forms cost?

Silicone breast forms vary in cost depending on the features, but most average around $200-300. Post-surgical and other non-silicone breast forms are around $100.00.

How can I pay for a breast form?

Most Medicare plans and private insurance policies help to cover all or most of the cost. Speak to your certified mastectomy fitter for more information on what coverage your specific plan or policy covers. You can also choose to pay out of pocket, or investigate a medical credit card.

Do I need a prescription to buy a breast form?

You must have a prescription for your breast form if you plan to use Medicare or your private health insurance to cover the cost. You do not need a prescription if you pay out of pocket.

Is it okay to wear a breast form through TSA checkpoints at the airport?

Yes, breast prostheses are okay to wear through TSA checkpoints at airports as well as other screening situations. Though, you may be subject to a more in-depth security screening. Some women print out and carry this TSA notification card while traveling to show to an agent. For more information, please check the TSA website.

What’s inside a silicone breast form?

ABC silicone breast forms are made with medical grade silicone.

How do I know my size?

The size of your breast form will correspond to your bra size. There are some standard correlations. However, these correlations and sizes are merely a starting point in getting fitted in the correct style and size breast form. ABC recommends you make an appointment with a certified mastectomy fitter for a professional bra and breast form fitting. Once fit in a bra, the fitter will fit you with the correct style and size of breast form to restore your symmetry and confidence.

Does the breast form have to be worn with a mastectomy bra?

The breast form does not need to be worn in a mastectomy bra. Though, the mastectomy bra is popular for women wearing any type of breast form because the pocket in the mastectomy bra helps to hold the breast form securely to the body. Additionally, mastectomy bras are usually covered by Medicare and private health insurances.
