Contact prosthesis

Hi all,
can anyone suggest a remedy for the area around a contact prosthesis that doesn’t adhere to the chest wall. it seems to me a design fault as the prosthesis sticks wonderfully well apart from the outer edge that sticks up and away from my skin. If it stuck down then from a distance you might think its a normal boob. at least that’s my hope. Thanks for any advice
Frances
