What is the Internal Bra Technique in Breast Augmentation Surgery?


Internal bra breast augmentation in Montreal

Breast augmentation has come a long way, offering innovative techniques to improve support and achieve beautiful results.

Dr. Arie Benchetrit, Montreal’s leading certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, is a renowned breast augmentation specialist who uses the internal bra technique to provide enhanced support and longer-lasting breast augmentation results.

What Is the Internal Bra Technique?

The internal bra technique involves creating additional support inside the breast to mimic the lift and hold of a bra. Dr. Benchetrit often uses the internal bra technique during breast augmentations.

It reinforces the bottom of the breast, providing an underwire effect. This approach helps provide a natural-looking, youthful result that resists sagging.

While internal bra techniques and materials vary with each surgeon, the “bra” material is usually a biocompatible mesh. It creates a scaffold within your breast, and your body creates scar tissue on top of it.

The mesh dissolves over time, leaving your body’s scar tissue behind as a replacement.

Benefits of the Internal Bra Technique

The internal bra technique offers several advantages for patients seeking breast augmentation:

Enhanced Support

Implants increase the weight and size of your breasts, which can eventually stretch the skin. Implants could descend lower than desired on the chest cavity, leaving you sagging. With the internal bra, you have extra support to help prevent this from happening. The internal bra may help maintain an elevated breast position over time.

Natural Look and Feel

The internal bra is made of a soft, pliable mesh that gives way to your own tissue, so your breasts look and feel natural.

Help For Weak Tissue and Implant Revisions

The internal bra technique may help any woman looking to avoid implant sagging, but it’s often particularly beneficial for those with weaker breast tissue or women needing implant revision surgery.

What to Expect During and After Surgery

When you undergo breast augmentation with the internal bra technique, your recovery is typically similar to a standard breast augmentation. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect:

  • Procedure Time: Typically 1-2 hours.
  • Return to Work: Most women resume work (of non-strenuous jobs) in four or five days.
  • Exercise: Most women can start light exercise in around 10 days.
  • Long-Term Results: Swelling subsides over one to two months, with final results becoming more visible as your body heals.

Dr. Benchetrit and our team give detailed post-procedure guidelines to help you recover comfortably and achieve the best possible outcome. We’re always here to help if you have questions during your recovery.
