Abstract
An apparatus for the surgical correction of ptosis of the breast and a method of surgery implementing such an apparatus. A ribbon of inert mesh is connected between the mammary gland and the clavicle, or other element of the skeletal structure above the breast, so as to give support to the breast. The ribbon of mesh may be constructed with a trocar point needle or a cutting edge needle on one end for implementing surgical attachment to the mammary. On the opposite end of the mesh ribbon may be attached a blunt rod to conduct the ribbon beneath the skin from the mammary to the point of attachment on the skeletal structure.
