I decided to post a picture of a temporary and permanent prostheses to show people what they look like. The pictures are at the end of the page, Just scroll down to the bottom of the page with the posts on it.
A Temporary Prostheses is what your given first after surgery it feels quite heavy and takes a bit of getting used to but after having a breast removed it makes you look and feel a bit more normal. It just slots into special side pockets in a special bra and stays there in place till you want to take it out. The back of the temporary prostheses has a little pocket where you put some filling in it to keep it in shape.
A Permanent prostheses is what your given 6 weeks after surgery it feels heavier then the temporary prostheses and looks more like a real breast. There is no pocket at the back and it feels very smooth and soft. It fits into the bra the same way as the temporary prostheses. I hope you find this information useful as I didn't even know what a prostheses was or looked like.
