Facts about Amoena

Facts about AmoenaEstablished in 1975, Amoena is the originator of the silicone breast form, with unrivalled expertise in adapting technology to enhance the lives of today’s women. Its mission is to improve women’s quality of life after breast surgery and to be a companion throughout their life’s journey. 

Amoena’s founder, Cornelius Rechenberg, set out to develop a breast form as natural as a real breast. The result was a new generation of breast forms – the first ever to use silicone – which have since become a benchmark for all breast symmetry products manufactured today, as well as the breast enhancers that are currently fashionable. Today, Amoena continues to push out the boundaries of scientific endeavour for the comfort and wellbeing of women who have had breast surgery.

Amoena’s head office is in Raubling, Germany. With 16 subsidiaries and over 40 distributors we are active in more than 60 countries. Amoena employs around 740 people worldwide and is the recognized market leader in the breast care industry. Amoena’s products are available to purchase from hospitals and clinics, boutiques and retailers. 

In its role as companion, Amoena provides a wide range of support services to women. Its glossy consumer magazine, Amoena Life, is distributed free to women who have had breast surgery and has a regular readership of more than 400,000 in around ten countries. Advice and support is also provided via the Amoena websites and the company’s commitment to TheBreastCareSite.com, in the form of articles on what other women have experienced, discussion forums, educational articles, expert advice and tips for feeling good.
