Providing Realistic Prosthetics
Creating Works of Art
Arms
Losing an arm doesn’t have to lead to the loss of independence and self-confidence. Our realistic prosthetic arms are lightweight, fit comfortably, and offer our clients improved confidence, privacy, and peace-of-mind in social contexts.
Hands
Losing a hand, or a part of one’s hand, doesn’t have to lead to the loss of independence or self-confidence. Our realistic hands prostheses fit comfortably, are lightweight, and offer our clients improved confidence, privacy, and peace-of-mind in social contexts.
Fingers
Wearing a finger prosthesis not only normalizes the appearance of one’s hand, it also protects against sensitivity at the amputation site and can restore some aspects of function. By returning the finger to its proper size and length it helps enable improved prehension and fine motor skills.
Facial
We create realistic prosthetics for people who are missing part of their face due to a birth difference, illness, or injury. We specialize in making ear, nose, and orbital prostheses but have also worked with clients who are missing larger portions of their face. Our anaplastologists will custom fit, sculpt, and paint the most lifelike prosthesis possible in order to restore your natural appearance.
Legs
Our objective in making leg prostheses that are lifelike in appearance is to give our clients the confidence and ability to wear clothing of their choice that shows their legs and feet. We will work with your prosthetist to ensure that your traditional leg prosthesis and socket are the ideal size and fit in order to be successfully covered with a lifelike skin.
Feet
Our goal in creating realistic feet prostheses is to restore the natural appearance of one’s foot while maximizing function and balance for walking. We work closely with our clients to ensure an optimal, comfortable fit in addition to a realistic looking prosthesis that can be worn with sandals or whatever shoes they choose to wear.
Toes
Toes are the most common type of amputation in the United States and we truly value working with our clients to restore the natural appearance of their feet. Many of our clients confidently choose to wear flip flops or sandals for the first time in years once they have received their prosthetic toes.
Utility
Some of our clients prefer to wear a utility prosthesis that is custom sculpted and fitted, but has just one color, rather than being painted to look lifelike. Utility prostheses are extremely durable and fabricated to meet the individual goals of our clients, enabling them to participate in daily activities that are meaningful to them, such as getting back to work, swimming, lifting weights, or strumming a guitar.

OUR MISSION
Providing Confidence, Comfort and Compassion
Aesthetic Prosthetics® founder, Stefan Knauss, began working in the field of prosthetics with the view that prosthetics should fit well, restore function, and look genuinely realistic. It soon became apparent to him that realism was not a priority in conventional prosthetics. He started his own company in 1999 to create a new benchmark of quality in prosthetics.
Every piece that Aesthetic Prosthetics® creates is unique and the process to fabricate a prosthesis accordingly varies a great deal from case-to-case. Fundamentally, it is your experience and expectations that are our priority.Creating durable prosthetics that can endure the wear and tear of everyday activities is a core value at Aesthetic Prosthetics.

REAL STORIES
What People Say
“I think Stefan is a true artist. He’s more than an artist. It takes more than just art to make this. It has to also endure. I’ve had it now [for six months] and I only see one pin-type flaw. I think that’s really saying something.” But the durability does not compromise the appearance of his hand. “It’s more realistic than anything I’ve ever had. I feel very comfortable with it going out in public. I feel very confident about my appearance.”
TESTIMONIALS
What Clients Are Saying About
Aesthetic Prosthetics
“I can’t thank you enough for your work. I’ve been wearing my prosthetic finger and it’s been incredibly satisfying! The finger fits perfect and it’s super comfy. The other day I was showing my hands to a friend that I hadn’t seen in a while and she couldn’t even tell which finger had the prosthetic. I’m super pleased with my finger! Thanks again for your hard work.”
“The team at Aesthetic Prosthetics is amazing from start to finish! The attention to detail is phenomenal. I was treated with respect and sensitivity to my situation. They are extremely professional and caring. They handle their craft with class and dignity. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Stefan and his crew. The finished product is undetectable. I am so grateful.”
“I have so many things to be grateful for, but this year I got to add you to my list. My life has been changed! Not because I’m better because I feel confident wearing flip-flops again, but because of experiences that lead me to you. My healing came full circle and I’ll always love you for that. Thank you for your amazing talents and commitment in bettering the lives of others. You’re appreciated more than you’ll ever know.”
“They repaired my prosthetic ear which was made from another clinic. I was very happy with their work and decided to get a new prosthetic from them. They did amazing work and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Coming to this office has been the best answer for my prosthetic need. Best of all, the quality is outstanding and will last for years. You just cannot compare their quality of work and attention to detail.”
