ABSTRACT:
The human breast is enhanced by enlargement by inserting body compatible fluids into the natural lactatous containments within the breast by flowing the liquid into the lactatous duct openings at the nipples. Flow is induced, from a source of pressurized fluid, by directing a jet of liquid into the duct opening, by pressing the fluid conductor against the opening or by penetrating the opening with a blunt needle or equivalent catheter. To ease penetration of the opening, suction apparatus is offered that distends the nipple to straighten the duct. Plugs are offered to enhance the fluid retention ability. The plug may be solid or valved to allow fluid flow only when a handling tool is inserted to manipulate the plug. Fluid emulsification apparatus is provided to condition fluids which may include saline aqueous liquid, compressible fluid, and autogenous materials individually or in combinations.
