Is Internal Bra necessary?

The "internal bra" procedures referred to the use of sutures to adjust the breast implant pockets (capsulorrphy)  plus/minus the use of additional support material such as acellular dermal matrix or biosynthetic mesh. These procedures serve to raise the breast implants higher on a patient's chest wall, in the event that the breast implants are moving too far down or to the sides. If the nipple/areola complexes are off-center on the patient's breast mounds, the procedure may serve to improve the position of the nipple/areola complexes on each breast mound as well. Best to communicate your concerns/questions directly with your plastic surgeon, who hopefully has a significant experience helping patients with revisionary breast surgery.

Good morning!Thank you for your question- and your goal photo is a patient of mine who had the Internal Bra and an implant exchange!As you know, bottoming out occurs when
your pockets are too large and/or too wide for your implants, allowing them to slide too
low on your chest and/or too far towards the sides. I correct this with the Internal Bra, my strong
permanent internal suturing technique which corrects the bottoming out
and provides excellent long term support for your implants. This will
also help tuck in your crease scars back into the creases where they
belong, which will make them much less visible.As in my patient whose results you like, I feel that with large implants the Internal Bra is an important component to provide good long term results and avoid future bottoming out.I have attached a link to my Internal Bra breast revision photo gallery for your review- hope it helps!

The enemy of good is better.  That being said you have to reconcile your desires with what your tissues will allow.  No matter what type of "internal bra" (- be is artificial support or cadaver skin or suture material) is used to support excessively large implants, over time, mother nature will win.  One will have large sagging breasts.  Once tissue has been excessively stretched it is irreversibly changed and can not be made smaller or stronger, it becomes only weaker and thinner.  Any short term gains in perkier larger breasts(800cc) will ultimately result in sagging larger breasts.  What next?  Another surgery to attempt to lift these larger breasts, or even larger implants?  In the end one may end up having several surgeries and spending extra $$ to achieve that which is doomed to fail.  When considering surgery to achieve a larger perkier breast it is paramount to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast and implant surgery and provides the needed truthful education of the reality of the risks, benefits, and trade-offs of choices for breast implant size and the anticipated outcomes.  Be cautious of the physician who will do what you want without giving you the full story of the consequences of your choices.   Best of luck to you.
