Elin- Cosmetics ARE very important particulary to young women amputees! I would, off hand, suggest a foam cover duplicated to your skin tone.
However, not begining a O&P practitioner or A/K (I'm a partial foot) I will pass your question on to the professional listserve and amputee listserve.The subscribers,I am sure, would have some good suggestions for you and perhaps the fix!!
Perhaps a manufacture may provide the option and contact you! I will send this via cc to three of our board directors whon are either,prosthetists, or manufacture reps.Two are amputees!
Good luck and let me know how you make out.
BTW-it may be a good idea for you to subscribe to either or both international listserves for future interaction.
Its free and very informative.If you have an interest, let me know and Ill send you both web sites and instructions how to subscribe via cyberspace!!

Hi!
I`m a 23 years young girl from Norway. I had an above knee amputation in 1993 because of bonecanser. Almost 2 years ago i got C-leg and that is working much better than any other prosthetics I`ve had. And that`s great.
My problem, however, is the look of my prosthetics. I want a natural look, but nobody seems to take that seriously enough. Looks is very important to a young girl, such as me, and i believe that this is a problem with way too little focus, at least here in Norway.The knee (c-leg) also destroyes my cosmetics over the knee. This just makes it worse than it is in the first place.
So my question to you are: Do you have any experiences with this problem? Do you know how to fix it? Do you know how to fullfill my wich to get a good looking leg? Do you know anybody in the same position as me?
I want to do something to make this dream of mine come thrugh, and I do hope that you will be able to help me in some way.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely, Elin Holen.
