Hi, I'm considering a breast reduction and lift. One of the consultants I've seen mentioned the benefits of an internal bra for extra support and lift. What are your views on this? And in your experience, are there added risks?

Answer: Do internal bras work? This sort of device has been around for many years and, whilst the concept may have an appeal, many surgeons (including me) have felt that the risk of complications outweighed any potential benefit. My biggest worry would be the consequences of a relatively minor infection taking hold with a foreign body, resulting in a devastating effect on the breast tissue. Given that other established surgical give accurate, long lasting results, I have never really been tempted to adopt this measure
