I am a size the 34DD and have significant sagging of my breast. I am removing my implants and doing a breast lift. Some doctors claim the internal mesh will help give me better support. Other doctors say they have had to do a lot of revisions due to problems with an internal mesh. They don't recommend it. Please share your thoughts on this subject.
Answer: Breast Lift If you are removing the implants and doing a lift, you likely do not need an internal mesh. This adds to the cost of the procedure significantly and it is doubtful it has any long term improvement on recurrent ptosis.

Answer: Internal mesh with a Breast Lift Inserting an internal mesh, such as Galaflex, will create a longer lasting breast lift result. This mesh is made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (a naturally occurring biopolymer), which is used safely in the breast as a resorbable porous scaffold. The internal mesh is inserted in the inferior pole (bottom of the breast) and over time is absorbed by the body. As the internal mesh is absorbed, the body deposits scar tissue in the pattern of the mesh, resulting in a permanent internal bra. Using the internal mesh will help structurally support the breasts and maintain a better result by working against time and gravity.

Answer: Mesh Using internal mesh is not my first choice for first time surgeries because it is usually not needed and does add to the cost and risks. However, in reconstructive cases where breast tissue has been removed, it is very helpful, especially the dermal grafts.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.
