New Device to Help Keep Breasts LiftedSeptember 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 ‘Cup&Up’. The Cup&Up Sagging breasts are a natural part of growing older, but researchers claim that with the Cup&Up 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 patient’s 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 pig’s skin is closest to that of a human. The Cup&Up is said to have been successful and caused no complications when it was inserted into the pig’s chest wall. (Source: Medical News Today) Are you considering getting a breast augmentation?
