Internal bra surgery, also known as internal bra breast surgery or mesh bra surgery, is a cutting-edge procedure designed to provide long-lasting support to the breasts, akin to the external support of a traditional bra.  

Read on to learn about the essence of internal bra surgery, its procedure, and the recovery process, addressing common concerns such as internal bra scar visibility, associated pain, and recovery time. 

What is Internal Bra Surgery? 

Internal bra surgery is a specialised technique in cosmetic surgery that provides internal support to the breasts. It is also called mesh bra surgery because it involves the use of surgical mesh a mesh-like matrix of fibres which acts like an internal bra, offering support and maintaining the breast’s shape and position.   

This technique of internal bra breast surgery is particularly helpful to those seeking a breast lift (mastopexy), for breast ptosis (sagging), or for patients looking to improve the longevity of breast augmentation results. 

The Procedure 

The internal bra surgery procedure is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and the desired outcome. Typically, this mesh bra surgery begins with the surgeon making incisions in discreet locations, often where the breast meets the ribcage or around the areola, to minimise visible scarring.  

Through these incisions, a specially designed mesh or scaffold is implanted within the breast tissue or beneath the pectoral muscle, depending on the patient’s anatomy and the intended effect. 

 This mesh acts as an internal bra, providing support to the breast tissue and, if used in conjunction with breast implants, helping to keep the implants in their optimal position. The material used for the internal bra is designed to integrate with the body’s tissues, encouraging natural tissue growth around it, which further stabilises the breast’s position and shape over time. 

Recovery Time 

The recovery time following internal bra surgery varies among individuals. However, most patients can expect to take it easy for the first few weeks. Initial recovery is typically accompanied by swelling, redness, bruising, and discomfort. Dr Rory will prescribe medications to manage them.  

Most surgeons advise wearing a supportive, non-underwire bra 24/7 during the initial recovery phase to aid in healing and support the breasts as they adjust to their new internal support system. 

Patients can usually return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks post-surgery, with a gradual return to full activities over the next few months. Strenuous activities and lifting must be avoided for at least six weeks or until the surgeon advises it’s safe to resume. 

Pain and Scar Concerns 

Pain management is a key aspect of your recovery. While there is some discomfort associated with internal bra surgery, it is generally manageable with medication and should subside as the healing process progresses.  

As for scarring, the incisions made during the procedure are strategically placed to minimise visible scars, and with proper care, these incisions typically heal well, becoming less noticeable over time. 

Benefits and Considerations 

The internal bra technique offers several benefits, including improved breast shape and support, potentially longer-lasting results than traditional breast lift techniques, and the ability to correct sagging or enhance the outcome of breast augmentation.  

However, it’s essential for patients to have realistic expectations and discuss potential risks and benefits with a qualified plastic surgeon like Dr Rory, who has decades of experience in cosmetics, especially breast surgeries.
