I am curious as to what an internal bra is? I've read about doctors doing it with a breast augmentation. I am just curious as to when or why it is used. Thank you for your time.
Answer: When and why to have an internal bra An internal bra is done by placing a material such as Galaflex mesh for support of the breast with a breast lift or to support an implant that has dropped or slid out of position. With a breast lift, the idea is to maintain the shape of the breast rather than relying on the skin and tissues that have already sagged and stretched. For implant support, it is used when the tissues forming the pocket have thinned. For that situation, either Galaflex or an ADM such as Strattice are options. An internal bra isn't used much in primary breast augmentation.

Answer: Internal bra An internal bra is using some of your own tissue or a mesh to help support the lower aspect of the breast because of the thinness of the breast tissue. This is not usually done during the first surgical procedure, and often may be needed for those who choose large heavy implants.

Answer: Internal bra An internal bra describes the process of reinforcing and supporting the lower portion of the breast in the vicinity of the inframammary fold by using some type of material. I commonly use either BellaDerm (acellular human dermis) or Galatea (synthetic surgical mesh) in complex revision cases where I need to reconstruct the "floor" upon which a breast implant sits.

Answer: Internal bra Great question! An internal bra/internal lift can be done in a couple different ways. Often times some type of mesh is used to help support the bottom part of the breasts to prevent droop and sagging overtime. On top of that sutures can be used to close the breast pocket in a revision case if the breast pocket is too big for the implants. This pocket manipulation allows repositioning of the breast implants to an improved postion. Seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to go over the details of this procedure.

Answer: Internal Bra? Thank you for your question. The "internal bra" is a surgical scaffolding that is placed around the breast implant and is often used in complicated breast revision surgeries. I typically only recommend the use of the internal mesh (such as Galashape or Strattice) in patients that are at a higher risk for implant displacement or have very thin breast tissue. Hope this helps and best of luck to you.
