Abstract

The application comprises the main trunk (1), the stems (2), and the hooks (3). The stems (2) start from the main trunk; the hooks (3) project on either side of the stems and at a distance from one another directly proportional to their length. The main trunk is attached to a stable part of the body, while the stems extend along the subcutaneous tissue below the skin. The stems are first stretched and then allowed to retrograde, so as the hooks can pull the subcutaneous tissue and the skin along with them. The advantage of this device is that it solves the problem of loose skin in a simple and quick surgical method. The results are concrete and lasting. The flexibility of the material allows the device to follow the movements of the body and it does not cause any discomfort.
