METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SOFT TISSUE ENLARGEMENT INCLUDING MECHANICAL SOFT TISSUE ENLARGER AND VACUUM DOME |
摘要 |
An apparatus and method for enlargement of soft tissue, such as breasts or a penis, is comprised of a dome (12) configured to fit over the area of desired augmentation. The dome has a rim (34) with a surface area sized to prevent excessive contact pressure to the skin when a suction force of sufficient magnitude to cause enlargement of the soft tissue is applied to the soft tissue by the dome. A dome for applying a vacuum to a patient's skin surface is comprised of a generally rigid dome capable of withstanding a pressure differential, with a rim cushion (46) underlying the rim of the dome for supporting a rim from the patient's skin surface. The rim may be generally wider than the dome in order to distribute the attendant forces across a greater surface and avoid tissue damage. A sticky sole underlies the rim cushion and seals the rim cushion to the patient's skin to thereby preserve the vacuum within the dome. |
