ARIMED carries a full line of breast care products for post-mastectomy
patients. We offer a warm and caring environment with Certified Fitters who
are sensitive to your needs. Our fitters are trained to gain a better
understanding of what you are experiencing. From a newly diagnosed woman to
a long-term survivor, all women deserve the same respect and support. ARIMED
is there for you.
The process for receiving your breast prosthesis and bra is very simple.
Make an appointment to see one of our fitters at any of our offices. After
consulting with you and discussing your needs, our fitters will measure you
for a breast prosthesis and bra. Then they will show you an array of
products which will best suit your needs based on your size, body, shape and
proportions.
It is very important to wear a breast prosthesis. You have carried the
weight of your breast on your chest wall for years and will not be
accustomed to holding that weight on your shoulder. There will be a short
adjustment time.
Your breast prosthesis provides much more then an aesthetic appearance: it
also aids in maintaining proper alignment of the spine and keeping you
balanced.
“Wearing weighted silicone breast prosthesis following a mastectomy is
medically necessary to maintain proper weight and shape symmetry of the
chest and back. Maintenance of proper weight and shape is important for
proper alignment of the spine, shoulders, and chest which will help minimize
and prevent posture problems and back injuries.”
-Ursula Anne Matulonis, M.D.
