NEARLY ME LITES® Breast Forms are made with a "whipped" silicone gel that is 20% lighter than Standard-weight silicone gel. The "whipped" gel has a different “squishiness” than the Standard-weight gel—when you press into it, it has a slower return, and it feels more like mature breast tissue.
The Tapered Triangle shape is shallower than a Full Triangle, but not as shallow as a Modified Triangle. The Tapered triangle is a little wider across the back with most of its fullness in the bottom of the cup. The small nipple sits slightly lower, and the top wing gets very thin—less roundness at the top. This shape works well when trying to match mature breast tissue that sits lower in the bra, or when more tissue is left at the top of the chest wall after surgery.
Whipped-gel forms are very popular because they are lighter, but the decision to go lighter should be considered carefully. Cunsult your CMF if you feel your breast form is too heavy.
Consumers should discuss their insurance and Medicare options for purchasing this form with a Certified Mastectomy Fitter. Click here for more details about CMFs.
