Apparatus, system and methods for improved breast surgery with myointegration

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to Myointegration, the improvement of breast implant apparatus, system and methods for a design that extends the breast implant centrifugally, or in which a separate device is utilized in combination with a breast implant, that has one or more straps originating from the breast implant extension or from the separate device. The one or more straps are looped through the pectoralis major muscle then back into the implant extension or the separate device repeatedly. The straps are eventually attached in some manner to themselves, to the implant extension, or to the separate device. Since the pectoralis major muscle contains neuromuscular spindles that sense length, velocity and acceleration, when the user changes position from supine to vertical, the gravitational force generated by the mass of the breast implant pulls on the strap or straps, which pulls the muscle and stimulates the neuromuscular spindles, thereby generating lift of the implanted breast insert.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
