A Modern Solution for a Timeless Goal
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and gravity can stretch breast tissue, leading to sagging. Traditional breast lifts reposition tissue, but without additional support, results can shift over time. The Internal Bra may be your answer.
At Desert Bloom Plastic Surgery in St. George, Utah, we offer the Internal Bra Mastopexy — a technique that reshapes the breast and reinforces it from within, helping maintain a youthful contour longer.
What Is the Internal Bra Mastopexy?
This procedure uses a biocompatible mesh inside the breast to act like an invisible support system — a hidden “internal bra” that strengthens tissue and resists downward pull. The mesh integrates with your body’s natural structure over time, providing lasting lift without being visible or felt.
Who Is a Candidate?
You may benefit from this approach if you:
- Have moderate to significant sagging (ptosis)
- Have thin or weakened breast tissue
- Want to combine a breast lift with implants for more volume
- Are replacing or repositioning implants (Breast Implant Exchange)
- Desire longer-lasting lift results
Combining with Implants
When paired with Breast Augmentation, the Internal Bra Mastopexy creates fuller upper pole volume and supports the implant’s position. This combination is ideal for women seeking both lift and enhanced shape in one surgery.
Procedure Overview
- Planning: Your lift is tailored to your anatomy and goals.
- Reshaping: Excess skin is removed, tissue reshaped, and nipples repositioned.
- Internal Support: The mesh is placed and anchored to stable chest wall structures.
- Implants (optional): If chosen, implants are placed with support from the mesh.
- Closure: Incisions are closed carefully for minimal scarring.
Benefits
- Longer-lasting shape
- Maintains upper pole fullness
- Reduces implant malposition risk
- Improves results in patients with weaker tissue
Recovery
- Light activity in ~1 week
- Resume exercise in 4–6 weeks
- Wear a supportive bra during healing
- Results maintain shape for years with proper support
