Here are detailed descriptions about some of the more common types
of forms. Please use this as a guide to help you choose the breast
form shape that most accurately fits your requirements.
Triangular - Symmetrical
Triangular shaped forms can be worn on either the left or right
side of the body. Often suitable for younger women with firmer
pectoral muscles, these shapes are designed to suit most contemporary
surgical techniques, where less breast tissue is removed.
Teardrop - Symmetrical
Suitable for women whose surgeries remove some underarm or
clavicle tissue. The teardrop form has an extension which can
be angled for best fit. Can be worn on the left or right side
of the body.
Heart Shaped - Symmetrical
An extremely versatile shape which fills the bra cup without
unnecessary bulk when no axillary tissue has been removed in
surgery. Suitable for younger women with firmer pectoral muscles.
Asymmetrical
Asymmetrical shapes provide a range of cup projection and profile
in the bra from shallow to full, depending on the extent of
surgery. Underarm extensions fill and blend where surgery has
removed tissue.
