Sick of shopping for new bras every few months? Just have one implanted!

An Israeli scientist has developed an internal bra that can be implanted with a minimally invasive surgery and will lift a woman’s breasts for years.  The technique is called a Minimally Invasive Mastopexy (MIM) and it makes use of a silicone cup, much like that of a demi cup bra.  The silicone cup is attached to two thin straps that extend up and attach to the ribs via screws.  It’s known as the “Cup and Up”.

The procedure takes a little more than an hour and the patient can go home that very day.  The breasts will eventually begin to sag again, but a woman can return every ten years or so to have the straps tightened.

When I first heard about the Cup & Up, I was pretty flabbergasted.  I didn’t know what to say.  It sounded like to stupedist idea ever.  I was thinking of it more from the perspective of replacing the external bra, however, rather than the perspective of replacing the current surgical breast lift technology.  It looks like a very good alternative to standard breast lift surgery - from the perspective of someone with no medical training whatsoever.  I pray that it doesn’t replace the external bra.

 As poorly as we men are at removing them sometimes, we really do like bras.  As much as we may hate sitting at a store waiting for hours while a lady tries on 15 different styles, we really do like to see her in something other than plain white.  While nipples protruding through a sexy chemise or nightgown might be arousing in the bedroom, we don’t really want to look at nipples all day - we’d never get any work done.

 So, if you really must have a breast lift, keep your eyes on this new technology.  I recommend being happy with your body and wearing something that makes you feel sexy on the outside.
