I wanted to develop something that used the patient's own tissue and avoid the problems associated with foreign matters. It is entirely internal and is done with the patient's own tissue. Therefore, there are no added problems with infection or rejection, often seen with foreign bodies. The surgery is performed under a general anesthetic. Incisions are made horizontally and vertically, as with a traditional breast lift.
Excess skin is treated with the laser, fabricating the internal brassiere.
This internal bra is then tacked to the chest wall and the entire breast and nipple are lifted. Often a breast reduction and breast lift are performed simultaneously to create not only smaller but perkier breasts as well. Utilizing the laser during breast reduction surgery, to reduce the breast tissue as well as create an internal bra, can be beneficial. The incisions are similar to the breast lift - both horizontal and vertical. However, during surgery the excess fat, tissue and skin are removed from both sides of the breast and the breast is repositioned.
