## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a beauty and therapy device, and in particular relates to a breast enlargement simulator.
2. Description of the Related Art
Before breast enlargement surgery, prosthetic breast enlargement and autologous fat filling breast enlargement shall be simulated to attain expect effects, thus to instruct how to select required breast prosthetic size and shape at each side or judging a predetermined filling fat mass. Two following conventional methods related are provided.
In the first method, by wearing a brassiere with predetermined cups and stuffing different sizes of breast prostheses into the cups to observe the effect of the breast prostheses in front of a dressing mirror, the patient can basically determine whether the volume of the breast prostheses required is fit or not. It can be appreciated that the arrangement of the different sizes of breast prostheses cannot provide a continuous, arbitrary adjustment of breast enlargement, and breast prosthetic samples are very expensive and most conventional medical beauty institutes cannot afford to pay such a price. Besides, due to the design of flat bottom of breast prostheses and breast convexity of the patient, the selected breast prostheses for simulation cannot be fully attached on the patient's breasts, viz cavities must be formed therebetween, constantly resulting in that the selected breast prostheses have 20% on volume less than the perfect one.
In the second method, by placing a ball-shaped skin soft tissue expanders into a brassier with predetermined cups and injecting air into an expansion bag in front of a dressing mirror, the patient can determine whether the volume of the breast prostheses required is fit or not. It can be appreciated that the size of the expansion bag can be continuously adjusted. However, due to breast convexity of the patient, the selected breast prostheses for simulation could hardly be fully attached on the patient's breasts, viz larger cavities formed therebetween, resulting in that the selected breast prostheses has more volume lesser than the perfect one.

The substrate of the elastic expansion bag 2 is a concave disk having a radian identical to the cup 1. The elastic expansion bag 2 can be formed of a rounded or water drop shape.
The cup 1 is selectively made of elastic silicon material. Besides, the cup 1 can be made of other elastic or soft materials that are capable of offering comforts and avoiding deformation when air or water is injected into the elastic expansion bag 2. The elastic expansion bag 2 can be selectively made of elastic silicon material.
By injecting air or water into the inner cavity 21 of the cup 1 through an injector that is applied to pierce an outer wall of the elastic expansion bag 2, the patient who wears the breast enlargement simulator provided with parametrically matched cups 1 can observe in front of a dressing mirror by means of adding or drawing the injected air or water into or out of the elastic expansion bag 2, to eventually acquire a satisfactory size and shape of enlarged breast before breast enlargement surgery. That is, a summation of the volume of the injected air or water and the volume of the silicone cups 1 equals the required breast prosthetic volume, or the self-material volume or synthetic material required to be injected and stuffed. The patient, who wears the breast enlargement simulator containing adequate injected water or air to be placed under the brassiere or without brassiere outside, capable of adjusting amount of air or water if necessary. Accordingly, the patient can assure themselves of size and shape of enlarged breast before breast enlargement surgery.
With the property of elastic materials, air or water contained in the elastic expansion bag 2 does not leak when the injector is pierced into the elastic expansion bag 2 or after the pierced injector is pulled out of the elastic expansion bag 2.
For providing the breast enlargement simulator with guaranteed ideal life service and usage effect, the elastic expansion bag 2 can further comprise wall thickened regions 22, and the wall thickened regions 22 can be located at any places of the elastic expansion bag 2. In this embodiment, the thickened regions 22 are artistically configured at regions corresponding to two sides of the cups 1, viz not spoiling the outlook of the breast enlargement simulator. With the configuration of the wall thickened regions 22 of the elastic expansion bag 2, the wall thickened regions 22 of the elastic expansion bag 2 can be repeatedly pierced for over 200 times without leakage, viz this breast enlargement simulator provided with the wall thickened regions 22 of the elastic expansion bag 2 can be continuously applied at least 200 person-time. Besides, for providing the breast enlargement simulator with guaranteed implementation security and avoiding of a needle of the injector to pierce through a conjunction of the elastic expansion bag 2 and the cup, a rigid baffle board 23 is further disposed on a region where the substrate of the elastic expansion bag 2 is corresponding to the wall thickened regions 22 thereof. Therefore, when the needle of the injector is pierced in the inner cavity 21 of the elastic expansion bag 2, the rigid baffle board 23 can be utilized to stop the needle of the injector from piercing through the cup 1, or to prevent the needle of the injector from puncturing the patient.
