Introduction

About Internal Bra

Being unhappy with your breasts can be an ongoing challenge. But, deciding to go forward with cosmetic surgery is an admirable decision, if not a difficult one. If you’re considering breast implant surgery or a revisional procedure, you want the best possible results. The internal bra is a surgical technique that utilizes specially woven surgical implants such as GalaFLEX or DuraSorb to provide extra support and reinforcement to the breast tissue and implants. This helps prevent complications such as capsular contracture and implant displacement while improving the overall appearance of the breasts. However, the internal bra can also be used for many other breast procedures, such as a breast lift. Whatever your needs, an internal bra can help you feel more confident in your body.

Are You a Good Candidate:

Internal Bra Surgery

Everyone’s journey toward cosmetic surgery is unique. If you’re bothered by your breasts or your breast augmentation results, Dr. Tehrani can help. You’re likely a good candidate for an internal bra procedure if you identify with the following.

You’re Dissatisfied with Your Implants or Breasts

Whether you already have implants or are considering breast surgery to improve your breasts, an internal bra can be beneficial.

You Want Long-Lasting Results

Breast surgery is a big investment, meaning getting the most from it is important. An internal bra can extend your results, maintaining your intended look for longer.

You’re In Overall Good Health

As with any surgery, you should be in overall good health. Dr. Tehrani will review the details of your medical history to determine if you’re compatible with breast surgery.

Internal Bra Surgery Goals

How can this help me feel more confident?

Provide Additional Tissue Support

An internal bra can support your implants or give additional lifting support during a breast lift. It can help extend the life of your results and lower the chances of revision.

Revise Previous Implant Results

An internal bra can create the results you wanted from your initial breast surgery. It can give better support and long-lasting results.

Prevent Sagging

One concern with implants is that they can sag over time. An internal bra can help prevent this, ensuring you keep your intended look.

Benefits of Internal Bra Surgery

You’ll feel great in your own skin.

Imagine how an internal bra can transform your breast surgery or breast implant results. There are many benefits, and Dr. Tehrani can help you learn more about the ones that most closely fit your goals and lifestyle. Here are a few of the top benefits.

Increased Upper Pole Fullness

Fullness in the upper pole of the breast can be difficult to achieve through implants, especially when gravity takes hold. An internal bra can keep the implants higher on the chest, creating a more noticeably full look.

Longer-Lasting Results

Enjoying your results past the first few years after surgery is important. An internal bra can ensure you maintain your intended look, preventing you from needing another surgery soon after.

Support for Larger Implants

Larger implants can be notoriously difficult to maintain for long periods. An internal bra can give better support, letting you enjoy your augmented look without the risk of sagging.

Internal Bra Surgery Preparation

Choosing an internal bra surgery is a great way to invest in yourself and positively impact your self-confidence.

Get ready for your transformation!

Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Tehrani. You’ll receive detailed instructions from our team on how to prepare for your procedure. Some important steps include:

  • Avoid smoking and alcohol. Avoid smoking and drinking before and after your procedure. These substances can impair healing.
  • Stop taking certain medications. Blood-thinning and anti-inflammatory medications can affect your procedure, so avoid taking them before your surgery. You may also need to adjust your prescription medications, too.
  • Arrange for transportation. You’ll be unable to drive yourself home after surgery. Arrange for a responsible adult to take you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
  • Get plenty of sleep. Make sure to get a good night’s rest before your surgery and create a restful space that you can retreat to afterward.
Compare & Contrast

GalaFLEX vs. DuraSorb

GalaFLEX

GalaFLEX is a bioresorbable scaffold made of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a material that has been used safely in medical devices for years. P4HB is a remarkable substance that becomes stronger the more it’s stretched, but it still remains flexible. When introduced into the body, GalaFLEX supports tissue while promoting the natural healing process for up to 24 months.

GalaFLEX also enhances tissue regeneration and increases tensile strength, leading to improved surgical outcomes and better satisfaction. By providing a stable foundation for the body’s natural healing process, GalaFLEX reduces the risk of complications and ensures long-lasting results.

DuraSorb

DuraSorb is a synthetic mesh made of polydioxanone (PDO). PDO is an absorbable material commonly used in medical sutures and cosmetic facial thread lifting. Unlike GalaFLEX, the DuraSorb internal bra is designed to be absorbed by the body in 6-8 months, leaving behind fully supported and lifted natural breast tissue.

Unlike traditional surgical mesh, which can cause discomfort and complications, DuraSorb provides a more comfortable and natural feel. The PDO sutures are placed in a specific pattern to provide additional support to the newly lifted breasts and create a framework for natural tissue regeneration.

Internal Bra Surgery Recovery

Recovery is one of the most important phases of your cosmetic surgery. Dr. Tehrani will prescribe medications to help manage pain – take these according to instructions so you can rest. You’ll be fitted with a supportive surgical bra and should wear it as much as possible throughout your recovery. You can typically return to your job within 1-2 weeks but should wait 4-6 weeks before returning to strenuous activities. It can take six months or longer for your full results to become apparent, but with an internal bra, you can expect your results to last for years to come.

Within 4-6 weeks, you can begin to see your final result and feel the full impact of your new confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does An Internal Sling Bra Work?

The sling bra works by creating an internal support structure for the breasts. It is made up of a durable material that is safe for use within the body and is designed to support the weight of the breast tissue. The material used for the sling is carefully selected based on the individual needs of the patient and the specific type of breast surgery performed.

Can An Internal Bra Be Incorporated Into Other Procedures?

Yes, the internal bra technique can be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation, breast reduction, or breast asymmetry correction. This combination of procedures can enhance the overall appearance of the breasts by providing volume, reducing excess skin, or addressing any size discrepancies between the breasts.

What Can I Expect During Recovery After Breast Implant Revision Surgery With An Internal Bra?

Patients can expect some discomfort after the procedure, but they can manage this with pain medication prescribed by the surgeon. It is essential to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks following the surgery to allow the internal bra to settle into the surrounding tissues. Recovery time may vary depending on each patient’s unique situation, but most patients can expect to return to their normal daily activities within a few weeks.

How long does an internal bra last?

An internal bra is designed to be a long-term solution, typically lasting many years. Support Timeline: GalaFLEX maintains about 50% of its strength at 3 months and fully resorbs over 12–18 months (depending on the specific product and individual factors). Results Timeline: Even though the mesh dissolves, it stimulates the body to produce strong, organized collagen, which replaces the mesh and provides long-term tissue support.

Is an internal bra visible from the outside?

No, an internal bra is not visible from the outside. It’s placed under the skin and breast tissue to provide internal support without altering the external appearance of your breasts.

Can an internal bra be removed if necessary?

Yes, an internal bra can be removed if necessary. However, it requires a surgical procedure by Dr. Tehrani. He may recommend removal if complications arise or if you want to make changes to your results.

Does an internal bra affect mammograms or breast cancer screening?

An internal bra does not interfere with mammograms or breast cancer screenings when properly placed. However, it’s important to inform your radiologist about the procedure so they can adjust imaging techniques if needed.

How soon can I return to work after an internal bra procedure?

Most patients can return to work within a few days to a week, depending on their job and individual recovery. If you have physically demanding work, you may need additional time off.
