New Device to Help Keep Breasts Lifted
New Device to Help Keep Breasts Lifted
September 6, 2007 -
Researchers are currently conducting tests for an innovative new technique to keep breasts lifted as time progress.
The technique for a lift that is currently available is known as Minimally Invasive Mastopexy (MIM).
However, researchers are attempting to market a new device, which they call the CupUp.
The CupUp
Sagging breasts are a natural part of growing older, but researchers claim that with the CupUp women can attain their youthful appearance no matter what their age.
Mastopexy entails a massive interference with both the internal and external breast tissues and it can be a costly and lengthy procedure.
As an alternative, the researchers are building a silicon bra that they hope to successfully insert into patients bodies, attaching it at the ribs and fascia.
The researchers claim that this new procedure will be minimally invasive.
Tests Conducted
The researchers have been conducting tests on pigs since a pigs skin is closest to that of a human.
The CupUp is said to have been successful and caused no complications when it was inserted into the pigs chest wall.
