Breast lift procedures have evolved significantly, with new techniques designed to enhance support and longevity of results. One of the most innovative developments is the internal bra technique, which often uses a biocompatible mesh like GalaFLEX® to reinforce the breast tissue and maintain upper pole fullness over time. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides GalaFlex to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
What Is the Internal Bra Technique?
The internal bra is a surgical approach where a supportive mesh scaffold is inserted into the lower portion of the breast during a lift or augmentation-mastopexy. It acts like an internal hammock, helping:
– Support breast tissue
– Hold the implant or natural tissue in position
– Reduce bottoming out or recurrent sagging
What Is GalaFLEX?
GalaFLEX is a soft, absorbable mesh made from a biologically derived material (P4HB). It’s designed to:
– Integrate into the body’s tissue
– Provide strength for 12–18 months
– Stimulate collagen production
– Fully absorb over time, leaving behind natural, firmer tissue
Benefits of the Internal Bra
– Improved support and shape longevity
– Reduces risk of implant malposition
– Less recurrence of sagging
– Enhanced cleavage and upper pole fullness
This technique is especially helpful for women with thin tissue, weight fluctuations, or prior surgery.
Is It Right for You?
You may be a candidate if you:
– Are undergoing a breast lift with or without implants
– Have previously experienced implant descent or sagging
– Want longer-lasting results
– Are in good health and have realistic expectations
The internal bra with GalaFLEX offers an advanced solution for maintaining lift and contour after breast surgery. Speak to a board-certified plastic surgeon about whether this technique fits your aesthetic goals and anatomy.
