The internal titanium bra

Titanbra11 Titanbra12Ziya Saylan, a Turkish physician has developed a titanium/polypropylene mesh bra that is inserted under the skin to create a sling to suspend a droopy breast. The titanium mesh is anchored to the ribs and pectoral muscles.
The downside is that it is very difficult to remove and it could make it more difficult to detect breast tumors.
Dr. Saylan's website describes the technique and shows examples of its use. It is an intersting idea, but probably not something that will catch on in the near future.
