Abstract

The breast appliance (125) and method of making of the present invention is adaptive to a variety of situations ranging from a first embodiment where impressions of both breasts of a client (51) are available for molding, a second embodiment where a single breast is available for molding, a third embodiment where a sensitive nipple or an augmentative breast appliance (125) is to be formed, and a fourth embodiment where breast appliance (125) are formed from a client (51) having neither breast available for molding.
If client (51)'s impression is made before surgery, a positive impression can be made directly from a negative mold. A molded silicone form or clay form is used to prepare a breast appliance (125) front mold (89) and a breast appliance (125) back mold (85). Skin type nipple and breast skin silicone is first introduced into the mold before closure. After closure, a silicone gel is introduced into the cured skin silicone envelope, with removal of air and bubbles using an exit tube. After complete curing the breast appliance (125) is removed from the mold, and worn against the surgical area with an ordinary bra, or directly onto the client (51)'s chest wall using a liquid adhesive to adhere the appliance to the body.
