At Aesthetic Prosthetics Inc.® we work with our clients in person at our facility located in Pasadena, California. Amputations differ from person-to-person; therefore, every prosthesis is custom made for each individual client. Our standard for each prosthetic device includes a custom fit while matching individual skin tone and features. During the process of fabrication, we ask for ongoing feedback from our clients in order to ensure optimal fit, function, and realism.
In order to create realistic looking prostheses, it is critical to determine one’s unique skin colors, while noting fluctuations that result from changes in time and temperature. The color choices are reconfirmed with test paintings in subsequent visits and each prosthetic sculpture is detailed using our clients skin as a reference right down to the smallest details, including fingerprints, moles, veins, wrinkles, and body hair.
This is truly a unique, one-of-a-kind process which is the antithesis of getting a prosthesis “out of a box” or “off the shelf.” Working with individuals who have experienced any kind of amputation is our greatest honor, and our goal is to provide hope and restoration to the clients we are fortunate enough to serve.
