Body Image Issues

Generally speaking, “body image” refers to how one perceives his or her own body. But when it comes to complex body-altering matters like amputations, surgeries, and undergoing prosthetic treatment, being able to remain comfortable in one’s own skin can sometimes be a struggle. That’s why at MCOP, we strive to provide functional and stylish prosthetic devices that aid in positive body image for all our patients, no matter where they are on their personal paths to recovery.
