Breast lifting, or mastopexy, is a popular procedure for women seeking to restore a youthful appearance to their breasts. One of the latest advancements in this field is the use of the “Internal Bra” technique, which offers enhanced support and longevity for the results of breast lift surgeries. In this blog post, we’ll explore what the Internal Bra is, how it’s used, and why it’s becoming a preferred method for achieving beautiful, long-lasting breast lifts. Dr. Monica Wentworth is a board certified plastic surgeon providing breast lift with the internal bra technique to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
What is the Internal Bra?
The Internal Bra is an innovative surgical technique designed to provide additional support to the breasts during a lift or augmentation procedure. This technique involves the placement of a supportive mesh material, such as GalaFLEX or DuraSorb, beneath the breast tissue. The mesh acts like an internal scaffold, offering enhanced support and helping to maintain the lifted position of the breasts over time.
How Does the Internal Bra Work?
The Internal Bra technique works by reinforcing the breast tissue from the inside. Here’s how it’s done:
- Placement of the Mesh: During the breast lift surgery, Dr. Wentworth inserts the supportive mesh material beneath the breast tissue. This mesh can be placed in various configurations, depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome.
- Integration with Natural Tissue: The mesh material is designed to integrate with the body’s natural tissues over time. As the body heals, the mesh gradually becomes incorporated into the breast tissue, providing long-lasting support.
- Maintaining the Lift: By acting as an internal scaffold, the mesh helps to maintain the elevated position of the breasts, preventing them from sagging prematurely. This ensures that the results of the breast lift are more durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Benefits of the Internal Bra
The Internal Bra technique offers several significant benefits:
- Enhanced Support: The mesh provides additional support to the breast tissue, reducing the strain on the skin and natural tissue. This helps to maintain the lifted position of the breasts for a longer period.
- Natural Integration: Materials like GalaFLEX and DuraSorb are biocompatible and gradually integrate with the body’s tissues. This natural integration ensures that the support is both effective and comfortable.
- Improved Longevity: The added support from the Internal Bra can prolong the results of a breast lift, allowing patients to enjoy their enhanced appearance for many years.
- Versatility: The Internal Bra can be used in conjunction with other procedures, such as breast augmentation or reduction, to achieve comprehensive and long-lasting results.

The Internal Bra technique is suitable for many women considering a breast lift, particularly those who:
