This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial evaluates a new type of external breast prosthesis—a device worn outside the body to replace a breast removed during mastectomy—that is custom-designed specifically for you using 3D imaging and computer technology. Instead of the standard, one-size-fits-many prostheses many patients receive, this prosthesis is tailored to your unique body shape and measurements, which may provide better comfort and fit. The study will measure whether the personalized prosthesis improves how you feel about your appearance and quality of life.
Many breast cancer patients choose not to have surgical reconstruction (implants or tissue grafts) after mastectomy, but traditional external prostheses often don't fit well or feel comfortable. This trial exists to see whether a custom-made prosthesis created just for your body can solve these problems and help you feel better about your appearance and daily life.

You will start with a screening visit where doctors take a CT scan and 3D images of your chest, and take precise measurements to create your custom prosthesis. Then you'll return for a fitting appointment to receive your personalized 3D-printed prosthesis. Over the next 12 months, you'll have follow-up visits at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months where you'll complete surveys about how comfortable the prosthesis is, how confident you feel, and how much it helps your quality of life. The entire process takes about a year, with multiple visits to Mayo Clinic.
