NEARLY ME LITES® Breast Forms are made with a "whipped" silicone gel that is 20% lighter than Standard-weight silicone gel. The "whipped" gel has a different softness than the standard-weight gel, and it feels more like mature breast tissue.
The Full Oval shape has a broad, short “wing” that can be turned in different directions for greater fill where you need it.
The term “Full” means that the form shape remains thicker around the edges and through the wing. (Compare to the tapered ovals which taper off and get thinner through the wing. Choose a “full” oval for fullness up the chest or on the side. Choose a “tapered” oval for a more subtle transition from the form to the natural tissue.) “Full” forms are recommended for modified radical and radical mastectomies where more tissue on the front of the chest wall needs to be replaced.
“Whipped” silicone gel forms are very popular because they are lighter, but the decision to wear a lighter form should be considered carefully. Consult your Certified Mastectomy Fitter to make sure your bra and breast form fit correctly if you feel that your breast form is too heavy.
Consumers should discuss all fitting and health insurance options regarding this form with a Certified Mastectomy Fitter (CMF). Click here for more details about CMFs.
