Debbie Rash believes her bust line needs a boost.

"Ever since I could remember I've had saggy breasts."
She says having three children also took its toll on her 42 Ds.

"I want them perky and not sagging."
So Debbie is about to try on "the laser bra."

"I'm not nervous. I'm very ready for this. I'm 46 years old and it’s time."
This new procedure could revolutionize the way cosmetic breast surgeries are done.
Dr. Grant Stevens, Plastic Surgeon and Creator of Laser Bra
"The laser bra is used to lift the breast internally."
A lift from with-in starts with a CO-2 laser and combined with surgery not only minimizes large breasts but corrects sagging one's due to genetics, aging or childbirth.

"The nice thing about it is that you can't feel it, you can't see it people are unaware of it, except for that it creates a nice perky, youthful breast."Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Grant Stevens developed the technique after seeing how effective lasers were on the face. He decided to try it on the breast and the results were surprisingly uplifting.

"I am taking off the skin off leaving the deep skin called the dermis and with that we are going to make the laser bra."
In traditional breast reductions and lift procedure, incisions are made both horizontally and vertically. Excess skin is removed and the breast is lifted up - by stitching it up.
But Dr. Grant's technique treats the skin with the laser first. Then internally fastens it to the chest wall- creating lasting lifting results...

"We do not use any sutures whatsoever that are on the outside of the skin. Everything is closed from the inside with dissolving stitches."
Dr. Brooke Seckel, Plastic Surgeon, Lahey Clinic, Lexington
"I think it's an exciting technique."
Boston-area plastic surgeon Brooke Seckel says lasers in cosmetic surgeries are becoming standard.

"It’s a workhorse in my practice. I use it almost daily in the operating room. It saves time it minimizes bleeding and it tightens tissue."
Additional benefits to the breast - it doesn't effect mammography readings and most patient's are still able to breast feed. "The Laser Bra" also helps to eliminate "fall-out", a condition that happens after most operations.
Dr. Grant Stevens, Plastic Surgeon and Creator of Laser Bra
"It looks sort of like a droopy breast even though the nipples are at the right height. With this laser bra the breast seem to stay more perky."
For Debbie - just 12 days later:

"Feeling of freedom. They feel so light physically. It's just wonderful. I feel 20 years younger."
Perky is just what the doctor ordered.
There is no extra charge for the laser bra. It's included the cost of the operation that runs between $5,000 and $10,000. If you can't make the trip to California, Dr. Steven's has trained others doctors in the technique around the country.
