The internal bra is a revolutionary surgical concept providing long-lasting breast support through an internal framework placed beneath breast tissue. This technique creates an enduring lift by countering gravity with strategically positioned supportive materials that help maintain breast position closer to the collarbone.

• Various materials can be used including patient's own fascia, synthetic dissolving polymers, purified sheep gut (Ovitex), or acellular dermal matrix (ADM)
• Ideal candidates include those considering larger implants, needing significant lifts, or who've experienced sagging after previous procedures
• Functions as "insurance" for surgical outcomes, providing long-term benefits rather than immediate improvements
• Potential considerations include additional cost and possible awareness of the material during healing
• Consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to determine if this approach suits individual anatomy and goals

For those interested in seeing results, check websites or social media profiles of board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in breast surgery using internal bra techniques.
