Speak to you fitter about trying one of the amazing ABC MASSAGE breast forms.

Not all breast forms are the same — and choosing the right type depends on each individual’s surgery, needs, and comfort.

A full breast form is typically used after a full mastectomy to restore shape, balance, and symmetry. These forms replace the entire breast volume and can help clothing fit more comfortably and confidently.

A partial breast form (or shaper) is often used after a lumpectomy, reconstruction, or partial breast surgery where some natural breast tissue remains. It helps fill uneven areas and improve symmetry in bras or clothing.

Every patient’s journey is unique, which is why fittings are tailored to find the most comfortable and natural option for each individual.

It is important to understand what your breast structure looks and feels like. In doing so, you will be able to pick up and act on any changes you may notice.

Early detection is essential to the successful treatment of breast cancer!!

Spoiler alert: Not all lumps feel the same.
A cancerous lump is usually hard and feels different from the tissue around it. But what really matters is noticing any new lump, even soft ones.
That’s why feeling regularly helps you catch changes early—when they’re easier to treat.
