New Internal Titanium Mesh Bra
Plasticized.com reports of a new Titanium Mesh bra developed by Ziya Saylan, a Turkish physician. The mesh bra is inserted under the skin to create a sling that then suspends a droopy breast. The titanium mesh is anchored to the ribs and pectoral muscles.
According to Dr. Saylan’s website, “An internal support will maintain an ideal postoperative breast shape and anterior projection which also permits a long lasting support and projection of the breast by counteracting gravity….The effect is claimed to be instant, youthful-looking breasts with invisible lift.”
“Since March, 2003, more than three dozen women have undergone this procedure. In our opinion “The advantage is that a woman with these implants will almost never have to wear a bra again”.”
The mesh bra can be inserted during a breast augmentation with an implant, during a breast reduction, or during a vertical mastopexy.
There are multiple potential benefits for women. The first is obviously the cosmetic effect the lift and support can give to the breast. The second benefit may be a lower risk of breast cancer. A U.S. survey of 4,700 women showed the odds of getting breast cancer increased dramatically for women that wore bras for extended periods of time.
A potential downside is that the titanium mesh bra may make it difficult for women to detect breast tumors. It is suggested that women have regular mammograms and ultrasound examinations.
