A Japanese woman known as the "Boob
Goddess" hopes to rake in cash with a modified rake that she claims can
firm a woman's bust and even enlarge it.
Takiko Shindo is known for something called
"Oppai Taisou," which roughly translates into English as boob exercise massage."
Her latest advancement in the bustling field of bust
enhancement is something called the "Oppai Taisou Hand," that is
basically a pink rake for stroking and brushing one's breasts, according to
Rocket News 24.
The rakish product sells
online for between $41 and $54. A commercial suggests it can increase a woman's
bust by three centimeters.
The so-called "science," according to
Shindo, is that ligaments holding up breasts need to move. Otherwise fats in
the same area settle down around the chest muscles, and causes breasts to sag,
Rocket News 24 reports.
As titillating as it sounds, Shindo's theory flies
in the face of modern medicine, according to Dr. Barry Handler, a
board-certified cosmetic surgeon in San Diego.
"There are ligaments in breast tissue that
stretch over time," he told HuffPost. "But once they stretch, they
don't snap back. Ligaments aren't like muscles -- there's no contractible
property."
But Shindo's mammary massage device may not be a
complete bust, according to Dr. Bruce Lee, a
Beverly Hills-based gynecologist.
"Usage of the breast rake upon oneself actually
does accomplish several things that theoretically could alter the perception of
breast size and shape," he told HuffPost by email. "When holding the
rake in the right hand and massaging and lifting the left breast, one is
actually exercising the right pectoral muscles, which lie beneath the
breast."
Lee says these muscles, when exercised, will enlarge
and tighten and add shape to the upper body. He also says mechanical breast
stimulation can increase breast growth in both men and women.
"Certainly, the breast hand or rake is a novel
stimulus for the manufacturer, who, no doubt, is smiling. And, pardon the pun,
handily raking it in," he said.
