CA 02500605 2005-03-09
METHOD FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF BREASTS
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to breast enhancement aides and
specifically to a breast enhancement method which is natural and non-
invasive.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Numerous instances exist where people desire enlargement of soft tissues in
their bodies. One such instance is for the augmentation of physical attributes
to improve cosmetics and self esteem. These soft tissue enlargements are
mainly directed at breast enlargements in females.
Prosthetic implants have been developed for insertion below the skin.
However, the severity of the potential complications including scarring,
implant rupture, capsular contracture, necrosis and implant migration as well
as the recent adverse publicity thereof have significantly reduced the
9 5 desirability of these implants. Thus, there is a societal need for other
means
to obtain soft tissue enlargement.
Moreover, the expense of surgery precludes many persons desiring to
improve themselves from even considering it.
The prior art also describes the use of a vacuum to produce soft tissue
24 enlargement. However, the prior art does not disclose a vacuum technique
which would generally provide controlled tissue enlargement. Furthermore, it
is well established that the application of an excessive amount of vacuum can
result in damage to the soft tissue.
The above techniques have attempted to satisfy the demands of the public,
25 but more often than not have left much to be desired or too much to be
handled.

CA 02500605 2005-03-09
In light of the foregoing, non-invasive breast augmentation methods have
been proposed. Hydra therapy, the use of external creams or internal
hormone preparations, the use of foam pads have proved to be damaging,
ineffective, to cause side effects and look unnatural and feel foreign.
Also, the use of herbal topical and oral oomposi~ons has been proposed but
has proved to be unreliable since the human body will react differently from
one person to another to a given composition, and some people prefer not to
take any sort of supplementary pills.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of
methods and systems now present in the prior art, the breast enhancement
method according to the present invention substantially departs from the
conventional methods and systems.
SUMMARY OF THE. INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive, non-
scarring, non-invasive method for breast augmentation which is all-natural
and involves no drugs, topical or oral compositions, hormones or surgery and
is self administered.
Another object is to provide a breast enhancement method that enhances
breast size by mimicking natural hormones and natural development processes.
Yet another object is to provide a breast enhancement method that improves
an individual's quality of life and self-confdence.
In accordance with the present invention, a manipulative method is provided
for enhancing breasts of a human, comprising the steps of stimulating breast
lobules with fingertips; kneading the breasts; touching and rubbing the
breasts' nipples; and massaging the breasts to direct milk flow to the
breasts'

areola and nipple areas.
In accordance with a fiurther object of the present invention, a manipulative
method is provided for enhancing breasts of a human, comprising the steps
of stimulating breast lobules with fingertips in a repetitive 20-second
manipulation of a breast area extending to about 50 contact points; kneading
the breasts in a movement toward and away from the breasts' nipples for 5 to
minutes per breast; touching and rubbing said breasts' nipples; and
massaging the breasts in large circles from the outer sections of the breasts
towards the areola and nipple areas of said breasts to direct milk flow to
said
10 breasts' areola and nipple areas.
While the practical advantages and features of the present invention and
method have been briefly described above, a greater understanding of the
novel and unique features of the invention may be obtained by referring to the
detailed description which follows.
DETAILED DESCRIP,SION OF TH,~ INVENTION
As stated hereinabove, the present invention provides a safe and effective
method for enhancing breasts. The method helps to firm up and support the
breasts through the filling up of glands which end up taking up more space in
the breasts hence resulting in stretching and enlarging said breasts.
The method of the present invention is characterized by the following.
One should find a room or a place where one will be able to relax and feel
comfortable and uninterrupted. One can do the exercise in one 30 to 40
minute sitting for both breasts or two 15 to 20 minute sittings, one for each
breast. One can do these exercises on oneself or can even have someone
else help.


CA 02500605 2005-03-09
To begin with, one should be in a comfortable and relaxed position lying down
or sitting up. One can have some soft relaxing music playing to soothe mind
and body. if one wishes to use some massage oil, it can be applied a little
bit
on the finger tips of your hand (optional - to prevent skin irritation but is
not
necessary).
With three fingertips of the hand clumped together, one begins about two
inches below the left collar bone and gently massages with the fingers in a
any one inch drcle for about 20 seconds. The massaging must be gentle.
One must not dig info the breast and hurt oneself.
One is just trying to gently stimulate the lobules. Take the time to feel the
skin under the fingers and breast tissue and muscle below it. One wants to
stimulate each individual lobule with the fingertips to make sure one
massages each little section completely. After about 20 seconds one moves
the fingers clockwise to the spot right next to where one just massaged and
does the same thing for another 20 seconds. One continues doing this by
going ali the way around clockwise under the arm, at the bottom of the breast,
to the middle of the chest and back to below the collarbone. One will
continue going clockwise and working closer to the nipple in smaller and
smaller circles. One should do this on about 50 contact points on the breast
and for about 20 seconds each.
It should take about 10 minutes. It is important to take the time to feel the
texture of the breast.
For the fret few times until the lobules begin to grow, this exercise can also
make one aware of any lumps or abnormalities. If so, one should stop
immediately and have it checked by a doctor.
Once one has completed this exercise, begin kneading the left breast with the
right hand much like if one were kneading dough for making bread. Again
paying special attention to try to intact aU the lobules located in the breast

tissue, One should knead and rub the breast going toward the nipple and
away from the nipple. It should not hurt, if it does stop and try later. If it
still
hurts at a later time, stop doing it and contact a doctor. This should take
between 5 and 10 minutes.
While you are doing this, it is also important that one gently touches and
rubs
the nipple. The first few times it will probably be sensitive but it will
become
less sensitive as time passes. Again, it should not hurt. If it does, stop and
try later. If it continues to hurt contact a doctor. After a few weeks, as one
continues this process, one will notice that the nipples and areola will also
get
larger as the breasts get larger.
Now do the same exercises with the right breast. As days pass, breasts and
nipples will become less sensitive to the rubbing. One will notice the breasts
beginning to feel slightly fuller. As one rubs the fingertips is small circles
as in
the first exercise and even when one kneads the breasts one will begin to feel
the Tittle lobules under the skin through the breast tissue. At this point,
one
knows that the breasts are beginning to change to be able to produce milk.
In the second week, after each time one has finished kneading, touching and
rubbing the breasts' nipples, one will begin to gently massage the breast in
large circles from the outer sections of the breast, to the areola and nipple.
Beginning about 2 inches from the collarbone and making large circular
motions working down to the areola. Now move the hand to where the arm
and chest meet and make circular motions down to the areola. Move the
hand to where the chest meets the armpit and do circular motions to the
areoia. One should continue doing this around the whole breast from the
outer part of the breast to the areola for about 2 to 5 minutes, to try to
direct
the milk flow to the areola and nipple area. Behind the areola are pockets
where milk will run into.
With the thumb and finger spread about 1 %2 to 2 inches apart, one will gently
place the thumb and finger on the outside of the areoia and press them on

the breast towards the chest. You will slowly begin to squeeze the fingers
towards the nipple to try to squeeze milk out of the nipple. Do not squeeze
the nipple itself because it will hurt and not accomplish anything.
Nothing will probably come out the first few times trying this procedure. By
the end of the 2"d or early in the 3r° week one will notice a little
bit of pasty
discharge as one squeezes the areola out of the nipple. This is expected,
because it is just clearing of the ducts. However, there should be no bleeding
from the nipple. Since there are many ducts ending at the nipple one might
see this discharge a couple of times.
After the bit of discharge is finished one will begin to notice just a drop or
two
of clear liquid which is colostrum. In the next few days one will notice a
little
more of this clear liquid come out of the breast when squeezed. After a week
or so the liquid begins to change into a hazy white colour. Later on as the
milk production increases, the milk will become whiter.
After the milk production is active, one has the choice to continue massaging
and to extract the milk from each breast or just to continue stimulating the
milk production every few days. One's body gets into a routine and will fill
up
with milk as per the routine that is chosen.
Every person is different so monitoring one's own situation is key. The fact
that one should remember is that if one stops extracting the milk on a routine
basis, the breasts will slowly stop producing it. If one decides not to do it
anymore one can stop altogether or stop for a while and then restart over
again at a later time. You can choose to increase the breast size a few
weeks before a special occasion and then stop.
Some side effects may be associated to and result from the above described
method but nothing out of the ordinary. They could include: tenderness or
sensitivity in the breast andlor nipple due to the exerciseslmassages,
tenderness or sensitivity in the breast and/or areofa as the breast begins

growing, muscle soreness due to some exercises, slight weight gain of
approximately 5 to 10 pounds, and possibly slight leakage of milk from the
breasts as the process advances.
With respect to the above described method then, it is to be realized that the
optimum results will be achieved by conforming as closely as possible to the
program provided and that, in any event, results may vary from one
participant to another.
As a result of experiments utilizing the method of the present .invention it
has
been recorded that if one were to stop the process, once restarting the
process the results come faster. Chest measurements have also shown that
the increase in size is consistent across the whole of the breast area.
Further, it would appear that the method may work faster if a partner is
present and performing the massaging steps probably due to the fact that
said partner would have better access to all areas of the breast for
performing
the method.
As for timeframes, it has been observed that a change in breast tissue texture
would take place in the first week, followed by a slight size increase by the
tenth day or so. A plateau is then reached between the second and third
week, with continued increase after that.
Finally, no permanent side effects have been observed during or after the
trials.
Other embodiments and uses of the invention will be apparent to those skilled
in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the
invention
disclosed herein. The specification and examples should be considered
exemplary only and do not limit the intended scope of the invention.
