The new procedure of breast lift claims to give long lasting support – acting like a bra inside the body.

It’s the novel Orbix Breast Supporting System, informally named the “internal bra.”  Developed by British surgeon Dr. Jian Farhadi, the procedure involves inserting a silicon sheet between a patient’s skin and breast tissue, which serves as the bra’s “cup.”  The sheet is then held up by silk threads that are screwed into the rib cage with small titanium anchors, the Fox news reported.

The final shape of the implants resembles the silhouette of the average pushup bra, holding up the breasts’ tissue underneath the skin.

Farhadi said the procedure is meant to provide a more permanent breast lift solution for patients whose breasts have begun to sag as a result of age, weight loss/gain or prolonged periods of breastfeeding.  He noted that many current breast lift surgeries – which raise the breasts by removing excess skin– do not always last long-term.

“In most breast procedures… the breast relies on the skin’s removal [for support], but the problem is the skin has been stretched for many years; therefore it’ll stretch again and sag again,” Farhadi, consultant plastic surgeon, told FoxNews.com. “You can do additional techniques, like inserting artificial skins or meshes to hold up the breast, but none has been successful enough to do in a routine way.”

Additionally, Orbix   claims the technique helps patients to heal faster while minimizing the appearances of external scarring.

Over the next couple of months, Farhadi will perform the surgery on 10 patients at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London as part of an ongoing clinical trial.  So far, he has operated on three different women, who have all reported positive results.
