External breast prostheses designed for replacement of the nipple and/or areola. These prostheses are typically manufactured so that they may be attached to the body with appropriate adhesives or worn inside a brassiere. Breast nipple prostheses are made of materials such as silicone, polyurethane, and/or foam in a range of sizes and shapes; custom-made nipples can match the size, shape, color, and firmness of the natural nipples. Nipple prostheses are frequently used after breast surgery to restore a woman\'s body image.
