Why do you need a cosmetic prosthesis?

What does a cosmetic prosthesis consist of?

A cosmetic upper limb prosthesis has a simple and reliable design:

Cosmetic shell — a silicone or polymer overlay that repeats the shape, proportions, and even the shade of the patient's skin.

Thanks to modern materials, cosmetic prostheses have a natural appearance and are easily combined with clothing, accessories, and everyday movements.
