OUR MISSION
We use a state-of-the-art 3D scanner to scan the patient and generate a 3D image of their breast.
We use the most advanced technology in 3D printing and high-grade silicone to generate the breast that looks, feels, and behaves just like the original.
We deliver the silicone breast to the patient which can be placed comfortably inside the bra.
About Us
Many women undergo mastectomy surgery that can be painful, expensive, and may alter the shape of the breast forever. To restore the breast shape and size, some women may elect to surgically undergo and implant silicone. However, this procedure, which is often expensive and is not covered by most insurance plans, also follows a long recovery time period.
This is why we founded this nonprofit organization that aims to help women battle some of the psychological distress that follows mastectomy surgery. We provide a near-exact 3D-printed silicone replica of the original breast. The silicone prosthetic can be placed inside the bra and give a natural feel and look of a breast that is also comfortable to wear.
