Harsh confinement hampers the circulation, and so the tissue weakens because of inadequate nourishment from the blood...
Surgical correction of bosom sag involves lifting the breast, reattaching it firmly to the pectoral muscle by means of absorbable sutures, transplanting the nipple and areola (pigmented circle) to their esthetically proper site on the new formation. The incision leaves an inconspicuous scar, and since it is made downward from the new nipple site, the breasts are completely unmarked above the nipples.

If it is "atrophic" (under-developed), an uplifting and reshaping job alone often restores a satisfactory contour; if not, fatty tissue lifted...

Complying reluctantly with this ukase, the louse-opera impresarios put a little more gauze on their strip-teasers, advertised their wares as "Frolics" and "Follies." Promptly business started to sag. Even when desperate divas began to strip to their pelts again, the box office was still in the doldrums. Last week the operators of Manhattan's three remaining burlesque houses got together with union representatives, prepared to beard Mayor LaGuardia and reclaim the name "burlesque...
