Breast molds - silicone DIY - post op wear

Hi all.

 

I am due to have a mastectomy as part of my cancer treatment and was wondering if anybody has ever tried to make a mold of their pre-operated breast in order to make a fake boob for wearing afterwards?

 

There are a few on youtube but a bit hit and miss.

 

Silicone or plaster of paris, and what about the finished weight?

 

Could keep me amused for hours!

 

Dawn.

Take care, Becca at Breast Cancer Care.

Dawn T … that’s an interesting take on prosthetics. I too am to have a mx but as my boob is now smaller and a different shape after wle then re excision I think I’ll give that idea a miss :smileylol: It’ll definitely keep you busy :smileylol:  

dont know if you’ve had your op but good luck and a speedy recovery xx
