How the Internal Bra Works

Many women would like to have higher, fuller breasts but lack the elasticity in their breast skin to support long-lasting results. When a woman’s own tissue has some weakness due to weight loss, post-pregnancy changes, age, or prior surgery, additional soft tissue support is required to achieve optimal cleavage and a higher breast position.

The internal bra technique mimics the support of a push-up bra within your own tissue.

Just like the cup of a push-up bra boosts the breasts to remedy sagging, the internal bra technique creates better breast support internally.

Dr. Basu uses GalaFlex to create soft tissue reinforcement with a flexible and durable scaffold that integrates into your natural breast tissue. These scaffolds encourage natural tissue growth that will eventually reabsorb the scaffold over the course of 12 to 18 months, leaving behind natural tissue with a firm and youthful breast silhouette.

I had a BA revision with the internal bra technique done after I was unhappy with my previous breast augmentation. The entire process was super smooth, the staff was incredibly nice, and I’m so in love with the results! I naturally have a low-set chest, and so many other doctors told me that that was just my genetics and there was nothing to do about it… Then I came here, and Dr. Basu had no doubt he could create what I wanted, and they do look exactly like the photos I showed him… Everyone was so kind and made me feel comforted getting out of surgery. I felt no pain on the way home or really much at all after that. There was some tightness, drowsiness, inflammation, etc., but I was pleasantly surprised with how little pain there was on surgery day and the entire recovery process. I’m so happy with everything I had to come review. 10/10.

Listen to Our Podcast About Breast Implant Revision or Replacement

Breast implants need a “redo” most commonly because of volume loss from having kids, aging or weight loss, old implants, or health-related concerns. Dr. Basu shares all the different ways breast implant revision can be accomplished, including implant removal, replacement, a breast lift, fat transfer, or the advanced internal bra technique.

Your Internal Bra Surgery

During your consultation with Dr. Basu, he will explain how the internal bra works in greater detail. He will also provide you with post-operative care instructions and a more specific idea of the results you can expect. The internal bra technique is often combined with a limited scar periareolar lift or a full breast lift to tighten any loose skin on the breast.

Depending on your individual case, the surgery can take anywhere from 3-5 hours. The internal bra is an outpatient surgery, so you can return home once your procedure is finished. In many cases, the internal bra can re-engineer a woman’s natural breast tissue to achieve results that a breast augmentation and lift alone simply cannot achieve.

Cosmetic Breast Surgery Textbook

Dr. Basu’s internal bra breast lift technique is one of many aesthetic surgeries detailed in Cosmetic Breast Surgery, a comprehensive guide to breast surgery published by Dr. Basu and Dr. Sameer A. Patel.

Cosmetic Breast Surgery contains chapters on a broad range of aesthetic breast surgeries, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast revision surgery, male aesthetics, and the internal bra technique.
