The ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis utilizes 3D scanning technology to replicate your remaining breast lifted in a bra (or breast form, if you have a bilateral surgery). These 3D scans provide the designers with your unique shape to build a one-of-a-kind prosthesis to specifically match you.
A custom breast prosthesis is the most personalized, realistic option available for you because it’s designed and created specifically for your body shape, size, and color. The shape is a replica of your remaining breast lifted in a bra (or breast form, if you have bilateral mastectomy) and is worn directly against your chest wall. And, you have over 15 different colors to choose from for your skin and nipple color for a more personalized appearance.
Yes, because the amount and location of tissue removed with a lumpectomy/breast conserving surgery varies. A custom breast prosthesis can provide coverage and replace tissue specific to where you need it.
The ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis utilizes 3D scanning technology to replicate the contours of your surgical site into the design of the prosthesis. This one-of-a-kind design is created to specifically match your body to allow you to wear the prosthesis against your skin for an intimate and secure fit in your well-fitting, supportive bra.
Yes! Many of our customers choose ABC Custom as an alternative to reconstruction to either test whether they really want reconstruction, or as a permanent non-invasive solution.
A custom breast prosthesis is a great alternative for ladies who have had reconstruction and are looking for symmetry that reconstruction wasn’t able to achieve.
The custom breast prosthesis is optimal for a partial mastectomy, breast conserving surgery, simple mastectomy, radical mastectomy, reconstruction, Poland’s syndrome, burn victims, or asymmetry of any kind.

CONSULTATION
Ask Your Fitter
Speak with your fitter to schedule your personal ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis design experience.
Your fitter will present the benefits of the ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis to help you decide if it’s right for you. During your pre-scanning consultation, your fitter will present and review a set of expectations, show you color options, discuss payment options, and detail the scanning process. This will give you an idea of what to expect from your new prosthesis, and the scanning process.
3D SCANS
Personal Scan Session
State-of-the-art 3D scanning technology has superior accuracy to guarantee a well-fitting prosthesis.
On the day of your personal scan session, your fitter will review the scanning process and take a series of reference pictures and scans of your torso using a state-of-the-art, iPad-based, 3D scanner.
After your personal scan session, your files will be securely transmitted to the Custom Design team of American Breast Care in Marietta, GA. The team of dedicated breast form designers will use proprietary CAD-based engineering to create a custom breast prosthesis to your exact specifications.
FITTING
Final Appointment
When the ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis arrives, your fitter will contact you to set up a personal fit appointment.
You will initially be fit in the bra in which you were scanned, and your prosthesis will fit to your unique contours.
Moving forward, feel free to try different bras. You may find different bra styles complement your new custom breast prosthesis!

You will usually receive a call 6 to 8 weeks* following your scan appointment to schedule your final fitting with the Custom Breast Prosthesis.
*Manufacturing time does vary with the work load and is influenced by the time of year your order is placed.
We recommend you wait until your surgical site is completely healed, and the swelling at the site is diminished–usually around 3 to 6 months. But, individual healing varies greatly, and you should discuss the best option for you with your Certified Mastectomy Fitter.
The ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis has a 2 year manufacturing warranty. Though, if the wear and care instructions are followed appropriately, the custom breast prosthesis should last longer than the 2 year warranty.
With a well-fitting, supportive bra, the custom breast prosthesis will fit snuggly against the chest wall inside of the bra cup.
Yes, breast prostheses are okay to wear through TSA checkpoints at airports as well as other screening situations. Though, you may be subject to a more in-depth security screening. Some women print out and carry this TSA notification card while traveling to show to an agent. For more information, please check the TSA website.
Our ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis Designers will do their best to meet your specific requirements. We are pleased to design your custom for any bra you choose.

Whether a mastectomy bra or camisole, or fashion bra or underwire, the ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis will be designed to fit ideally in your favorite bra. You may wear any other bras you choose, but the optimal fit will be in the bra in which you are scanned.

Yes, the ABC scanning technology is very safe. A multitude of Orthotic and Prosthetic medical professionals use this same device to safely capture precise scans of their patients. No harmful lasers or radiation are emitted through the scanner.
When you get scanned for your custom breast prosthesis, the appointment can last 20 minutes to an hour depending on what your needs are from the custom.

This fit appointment allows the fitter to answer questions and offer advice on wearing your ABC Custom Breast Prosthesis.
