System and method for breast lifting
A system and a method and a surgical tool for breast lifting, wherein at least one anchor is fixed to a posture tissue, above a desired nipple level, with one or more suspending members suspended from the at least one anchor and extending through the breast for cradling the breast from below.
1. A system for minimally invasive breast lifting and imparting a breast with natural and lifted shape, the system comprising:
one or more anchors adapted to be fixed to a posture tissue above a desired nipple level;
two or more readily adjustable suspension members suspended from the one or more anchors each readily adjustable suspension member having a free end; and
a cradling portion having a first end and a second end and being configured to cradle the breast from below, the first end and the second end of the cradling portion being integral with and/or movably attached to the free end of a respective suspension member, and the cradling portion having a width greater than the width of each of the two or more readily adjustable suspension members,
wherein the system is configured to lift and thereby impart the breast with a natural shape.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the cradling portion is a mesh-like portion.
3. A system according to claim 1 , wherein the anchor is a bolt fixture or a threaded fixture fixed to a rib or a collar bone.
4. A system according to claim 3 , wherein the anchor is a self tapping screw.
5. A system according to claim 1 , wherein the anchor is a stitching to a muscle.
6. A system according to claim 1 , wherein the anchor is a clasp for clasping a muscle.
7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the anchor is a suspending hook bearing or clinging from a rib.
8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the suspension member and the cradling portion comprise one or more organic or inorganic materials.
9. A system according to claim 8 , wherein the suspension member and the cradling portion are made of tendons.
10. The system according to claim 1 , comprising two suspension members.
11. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the free end of each suspension member is attached to a corresponding anchor.
12. The system according to claim 10 , wherein both free ends of the suspension members are attached to a single anchor.
13. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more anchors and the two or more suspension members are deployable in a non-operable procedure.
14. The system according to claim 13 , wherein the one or more anchors and the two or more suspension members are deployable through stab-incisions formed at a bottom surface of the breast.
15. The system according to claim 1 , being removable at any time.
16. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the first end and the second end of the cradling portion are fixedly attached to a free end of a respective suspension member.
17. A system for minimally invasive breast lifting and imparting a breast with natural and lifted shape, the system comprising:
one or more anchors adapted to be fixed to a posture tissue above a desired nipple level;
two or more readily adjustable suspension members having
an anchoring end, and
a cradling end,
the two or more readily adjustable suspension members being suspended from the one or more anchors at the anchoring end and being movably attached or fixed to the one or more anchors;
a cradling portion having
a first end movably attached to and/or integral with the cradling end of one of the two or more readily adjustable suspension members, and
a second end movably attached to and/or integral with the cradling end of one of the two or more readily adjustable suspension members
the cradling portion being configured to cradle the breast from below and the cradling portion having a width greater than the width of each of the two or more readily adjustable suspension members
wherein the system is configured to lift and thereby impart the breast with a natural shape.
18. A system for minimally invasive breast lifting and imparting a breast with natural and lifted shape, the system comprising:
one or more anchors adapted to be fixed to a posture tissue above a desired nipple level;
at least one readily adjustable suspension members having
at least one an anchoring point, and
at least one a cradling point,
the at least one readily adjustable suspension members being suspended from the one or more anchors at the at least one anchoring point and being movably attached to and/or integral with the one or more anchors;
a cradling portion having
a first end movably attached to and/or integral with the at least one cradling point of one of the at least one readily adjustable suspension members, and
a second end movably attached to and/or integral with the cradling end of one of the at least one readily adjustable suspension members
the cradling portion being configured to cradle the breast from below and the cradling portion having a width greater than the width of each of the two or more readily adjustable suspension members,
wherein the system is configured to lift and thereby impart the breast with a natural shape.
