Internal Support for Beautiful Breasts

The internal bra is designed to reinforce your results by providing an “internal scaffolding” of support. This technique can:

  • Create ample fullness and cleavage
  • Maintain proper implant position
  • Delay the effects of aging and gravity
  • Counter breast sagging or drooping

How the Internal Bra Is Used

During breast enhancement surgery, Dr. Wingate may use the internal bra technique to strengthen results and provide additional lift. After creating precise incisions, a specialized surgical mesh is placed within the breast to act as an internal support structure.

Over time, the mesh dissolves and is replaced by your body’s natural scar tissue, stronger than breast tissue alone. This creates a durable framework that continues to support your breasts or implants long-term.

The Recovery + Results

Recovery from breast enhancement with an internal bra is similar to recovery from the base procedure, such as augmentation or lift. Patients typically:

  • Wear a surgical bra as directed to protect healing tissues
  • Return to light activity within about one week
  • See swelling improve by six weeks, with final results revealed as the breasts settle

Internal BraFrequently Asked Questions

How is the internal bra different from a traditional breast lift?

A traditional breast lift relies on the skin for support, while the internal bra reinforces the chest with mesh for longer-lasting results.

Can the internal bra be combined with implants?

Yes. Many patients choose to pair breast augmentation with an internal bra to achieve both fullness and added stability.

Can the mesh be placed through my breast augmentation incision?

Yes. If you already have implants, Dr. Wingate can often place the mesh through the same incision.

Will I still need to wear a bra after I’ve healed?

Yes. While the internal bra provides extra internal support, it does not replace the need for an external bra.
