Abstract

A method, adhesive sheet, and kit are provided to enable lifting and shaping to a female human breast. The kit may include a mushroom-shaped adhesive sheet comprising a curvilinear section and a rectangular section. The kit may further include a set of instructions for applying the adhesive sheet to a female human breast in conjunction with manipulations performed on the breast to provide lifting and shaping to the breast.

Claims

1. A method for applying an adhesive sheet to a female human breast in conjunction with manipulations performed on said breast to provide lifting and shaping to said breast, said method comprising:

providing an adhesive sheet of a mushroom shape having a first wider, curvilinear upper section and a second narrow, rectangular lower section extending from the upper section;

pressing a first finger against a lower central area of a breast, said pressing forming a first channel in the lower central area of the breast;

using a second finger and a third finger to bring together to a compressed condition a first fold of breast mass and a second fold of breast mass that respectively form along mutually opposite sides of the first channel as the first finger presses against the lower central area of the breast;

applying the first section of the adhesive sheet to maintain the compressed condition in the first and second folds of breast mass upon release of the first finger from the lower central area of the breast;

pressing the first finger against a nipple area of the breast, said pressing forming a second channel in an upper central area of the breast;

using the second finger and the third finger to bring together to a compressed condition a first fold of breast mass and a second fold of breast mass that respectively form along mutually opposite sides of the second channel as the first finger presses against the upper central area of the breast; and

applying the second section of the adhesive sheet to maintain the compressed condition in the first and second folds of breast mass upon release of the first finger from the upper central area of the breast.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first finger comprises an index finger.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the second finger and the third finger respectively comprise a thumb finger and a middle finger.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of pressing the first finger against the nipple area of the breast comprises pushing the nipple into the second channel.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the first channel formed in the lower central area of the breast and the second channel formed in the upper central area of the breast are in axial alignment with respect to one another to constitute a common channel.

6. The method of claim 1 comprising actions self-performed by a female subject for lifting and shaping the breasts of said female subject.

7. A medical adhesive sheet to be applied to a female human breast in conjunction with manipulations performed on said breast to provide lifting and shaping to said breast, said adhesive sheet comprising:

a mushroom shape comprising a first upper curvilinear section configured to keep in a compressed condition a first fold and a second fold of breast mass formed in a lower central area of a breast, said first fold and said second fold formed along mutually opposite sides of a first channel as a finger presses against the lower central area of the breast; and

the mushroom-shaped adhesive sheet further comprising a hypoallergenic, pressure sensitive adhesive and a second lower rectangular-shaped section extending downwardly from said upper section configured to keep in a compressed condition a first fold and a second fold of breast mass formed in an upper central area of the breast, said first fold and said second fold formed along mutually opposite sides of a second channel as a finger presses against the lower central area of the breast.

8. A kit for providing lifting and shaping to a female human breast, said kit comprising:

a mushroom-shaped medical adhesive sheet comprising a first upper curvilinear section and a second lower rectangular section extending downwardly from said upper section; and

a medium including a set of instructions for applying the adhesive sheet to a female human breast in conjunction with manipulations performed on said breast to provide lifting and shaping to said breast;

wherein the set of instructions comprises;

pressing an index finger against a lower central area of a breast, said pressing forming a first channel in the lower central area of the breast;

using a thumb and a middle finger to bring together to a compressed condition a first fold and a second fold of breast mass that respectively form along mutually opposite sides of the first channel as the index finger presses against the lower central area of the breast;

applying the first upper curvilinear section of the adhesive sheet to maintain the compressed condition in the first and second folds of breast mass upon release of the index finger from the lower central area of the breast;

pressing the index finger against a nipple area of the breast, said pressing forming a second channel in an upper central area of the breast;

using the thumb finger and the middle finger to bring together to a compressed condition a first fold and a second fold of breast mass that respectively form along mutually opposite sides of the second channel as the index finger presses against the upper central area of the breast; and

applying the second lower rectangular-shaped section of the adhesive sheet to maintain the compressed condition in the first and second folds of breast mass upon release of the index finger from the upper central area of the breast.

9. The kit of claim 8 wherein the mushroom-shaped adhesive sheet and the set of instructions are separately packaged.

10. The kit of claim 8 wherein the set of instructions comprises computer-readable code.

11. The kit of claim 10 wherein the set of instructions comprises computer-readable code configured to provide a multimedia presentation.

12. The kit of claim 8 wherein the set of instructions for applying the adhesive sheet comprises manipulations self-performed by a female subject on her breasts to provide lifting and shaping to said breasts.

13. A medical adhesive sheet to be applied to a female human breast in conjunction with manipulations performed on said breast to provide lifting and shaping to said breast, said adhesive sheet comprising:

a mushroom shape comprising a first upper curvilinear section configured to keep in a compressed condition a first fold and a second fold of breast mass formed in a lower central area of a breast, said first fold and said second fold formed along mutually opposite sides of a first channel as a finger presses against the lower central area of the breast, wherein radii for curved edges of the curvilinear section are selected to follow a contour of a human breast; and

the mushroom-shaped adhesive sheet further comprising a hypoallergenic, pressure sensitive adhesive and a second lower section extending downwardly from said upper section configured to keep in a compressed condition a first fold and a second fold of breast mass formed in an upper central area of the breast, said first fold and said second fold formed along mutually opposite sides of a second channel as a finger presses against the lower central area of the breast.

14. The adhesive sheet of claim 13 wherein the second lower section has a smaller surface area relative to the first upper section.
