An apparatus and method for enlargement of soft tissue, such as breasts or a penis, is comprised of a dome (12) configured to fit over the area of desired augmentation. The dome has a rim (34) with a surface area sized to prevent excessive contact pressure to the skin when a suction force of sufficient magnitude to cause enlargement of the soft tissue is applied to the soft tissue by the dome. A dome for applying a vacuum to a patient's skin surface is comprised of a generally rigid dome capable of withstanding a pressure differential, with a rim cushion (46) underlying the rim of the dome for supporting a rim from the patient's skin surface. The rim may be generally wider than the dome in order to distribute the attendant forces across a greater surface and avoid tissue damage. A sticky sole underlies the rim cushion and seals the rim cushion to the patient's skin to thereby preserve the vacuum within the dome.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à l'agrandissement des parties molles telles que les seins ou le pénis. L'appareil comporte une ventouse (12) conçue pour recouvrir exactement la zone à agrandir. La coupole présente une bordure (34) dont la dimension de surface est conçue pour éviter toute pression excessive par contact sur la peau lorsqu'une force de succion suffisamment puissante est appliquée par ladite ventouse sur la zone de tissus mous afin d'agrandir les tissus en question. La ventouse soumettant à un vide la surface de la peau du patient comprend un dôme rigide capable de résister à une différence de pression ainsi qu'une garniture élastique (46) de bordure qui constitue un bourrelet entre la bordure de la ventouse et la surface de la peau de patient. Le cercle formé par la bordure peut être globalement plus large que celui de la ventouse dans le but de répartir les forces concomittantes sur une plus grande surface et d'éviter d'endommager les tissus. Une base adhésive recouvre la garniture de la bordure, permettant ainsi d'assurer l'étanchéité d'adhésion entre la bordure et la peau du patient pour conserver l'effet de vide à l'intérieur du dôme.
