KATHY HENDRICKSON OF WIGS-N-MORE. INC. RECEIVES CERTIFICATION FOR RADIANT IMPRESSIONS -
AN OPTION FOR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS

Radiant Impressions is proud to announce Kathleen Hendrickson of Wigs-N-More has received her certification for the procedure of casting for our custom breast prosthesis. Radiant Impressions art studio is located in Lexington, KY.  Kathy recently attended an extensive training program to learn the procedure of casting chest walls of breast cancer survivors. After the molds are completed, the casts are sent to our professional sculptors who hand carve and paint a custom breast designed for each individual lady.

The custom prosthesis mimics the weight, feel and look of real breast tissue. The custom can be worn in a regular bra and swimsuit. Over 20 skin tone colors are available providing African Americans and women of color something to match their body. Radiant Impressions gives women a restored sense of wholeness. It is a great option over invasive surgery. Custom nipples can be made for reconstructed breast.

One out of every seven women will be affected by breast cancer at some point in their life. Mastectomies and lumpectomies are performed daily.

Wigs-N-More is dedicated to improving life for the ladies who will undergo breast surgery in the future or have been a survivor. Kathy, a Certified Caster and experienced mastectomy fitter takes time with each lady to fit her needs in breast care products.

The mission ofWigs-N-More in Latrobe, PA is to provide the custom prosthesis, lightweight breast forms, stylish lacy bras and accessories in a wide selection of sizes and styles to restore comfort and confidence after breast surgery.

Many ladies do not realize all the products that are available. Partials and fillers are now used for lumpectomy and reconstruction surgeries. After a period of time, gravity takes over on breast tissue and if reconstruction was done on one side, then ladies will need to wear some type of partial to accommodate for the aging process. Ladies want their breast to match and have a natural appearance. Kathy will find the right shape and size to give symmetry.

The industry has come along way since the early days of foam and liquid filled breast forms. Wigs-N-More offers the latest innovative and unique silicone breast forms, which closely resemble the natural breast in shape, texture and movement. An attachable form that can be worn without a bra is available. Wigs-N-More offers the best in quality by Trulife. Trulife, formerly CAMP Healthcare was the pioneer for inventing the first breast form in 1961. Prior to that date, ladies wore socks stuffed with rice or washcloths in their bras to fill the void.

The importance of a woman's health and appearance, both physical and psychological has become a focus for today's healthcare in women. Today more feminine designs and unique products allow breast cancer ladies to maintain a normal lifestyle of swimming, golfmg, exercising, tennis, etc..

Wigs-N-More is servicing customers through education. Many people do not know what is available to them through their Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. Medicare and most private insurances have realized the importance of providing breast forms to prevent shoulder drop, spinal curvature or back pain and will pay for prosthesis, bras and some accessories every year. Camisoles with drain pouches to wear during the healing process are available for ladies if they will come in or call for an appointment for a free consultation before or immediately after surgery.

Wigs-N-More offers a very, private fitting room with a caring, compassionate staff to assist ladies during their fitting. The boutique takes care of breast cancer ladies throughout Pennsylvania. They make it as easy as possible for the patient. They will take care of getting the prescription and necessary documentation for insurance filing.
