ABSTRACT:- Cosmetic prosthetic covers play an important role in improving body image, confidence, and social participation among individuals using prosthetic limbs. Beyond functional restoration, aesthetic appearance can significantly influence psychosocial rehabilitation outcomes. This narrative review summarizes recent developments in cosmetic prosthetic covers, with emphasis on material advancements, fabrication techniques, aesthetic customization, and user acceptance. The reviewed literature highlights the continued use of silicone elastomers for achieving realistic appearance, alongside emerging applications of additive manufacturing to improve customization and accessibility. Challenges related to durability, discoloration, biocompatibility, and long-term clinical performance remain evident. User-centered design and shared decision-making are increasingly recognized as key factors in enhancing satisfaction and prosthesis embodiment. Overall, this review underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to develop cosmetic prosthetic solutions that support both functional rehabilitation and psychosocial well-being.
