Breast sagging is a common concern for many women as they age, experience significant weight loss or simply due to their genetics. Sagging can also be an issue post pregnancy and breastfeeding. The natural change in the breasts’ appearance can be due to the loosening of the skin and weakening of the internal structures that support the breast tissue. A breast lift with the innovative Internal Mesh can help to address this concern by providing long lasting internal support, akin to an internal bra, to the breast tissue.

What is an Internal Mesh Bra Lift
An Internal Mesh Bra Lift bra is a cutting-edge innovation in breast lift surgery. Commonly referred to as an internal bra, this mesh is made from a biocompatible material designed to integrate with the body’s natural tissues. It functions similarly to an external bra but from within, offering permanent structural support to the breast tissue.
An Internal Mesh Bra Lift helps combat the inevitable effects of ageing, gravity, and weight fluctuations, which can cause breasts to sag over time. The mesh is placed inside the breast during surgery to maintain the breast shape and position, ensuring that the breasts remain lifted long after the procedure.
This internal support system reduces the need for ongoing external garments like bras to maintain the lift, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics.
An Internal Mesh Bra Lift also offers a unique solution for patients undergoing breast augmentations and breast reductions. It enhances the longevity of results by providing additional support, ensuring they remain in an optimal position over the years.
Reasons to choose
A breast uplift whether in combination with an implant or fat transfer will address concerns such as breast volume deflation and sagging.
However, over the passage of time, weight fluctuations and with additional weight from an implant, there is a significant risk of recurrent sagging of the breast.
Benefits
Longevity of results
While traditional breast lifts may eventually succumb to the forces of gravity, the internal mesh bra provides ongoing support that helps keep your breasts lifted and youthful for many years.
An Internal Mesh Bra Lift works by supporting the structure of the breast tissue, preventing the sagging or drooping that can occur over time.
Natural look and feel
Patients undergoing an Internal Mesh Bra Lift procedure can expect a natural look and feel to their breasts. The mesh is soft and Integrates with the internal tissue resulting in natural appearing and looking breasts.
Reduced strain on skin and tissues: Unlike traditional breast lift procedures, where the skin is heavily relied upon to hold the breast in place, the internal mesh bra provides an internal foundation of support. This reduces the strain on the skin and surrounding tissues, allowing for a more comfortable recovery.
Comfortable healing and reduced recovery time: With the support of the internal mesh, patients often experience a smoother and more comfortable recovery process. An Internal Mesh Bra reduces the stress placed on healing tissues, potentially shortening the recovery time and allowing patients to return to their daily activities with greater ease.
Risks
As with any surgical procedure, the insertion of an internal mesh carries some potential risks, though they are relatively low when performed by highly skilled surgeons.
Potential risks include:
Infection: Like any foreign material, there is a small risk of infection after surgery. However, the mesh is made from a biocompatible material designed to integrate with your natural tissue, significantly reducing this risk.
Mesh displacement: In very rare cases, the mesh may shift from its original position, which could affect the overall result. However, this risk is minimised when the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon.
At HR Plastic Surgery, our team takes every precaution to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients, minimising these risks.
Who is a good candidate?
A good candidate for an Internal Mesh Bra Lift is in good health, has a stable weight and is looking to maximise the longevity of their breast lift procedure.
It is essential to be a non-smoker as smoking impairs healing and increases the risk of infection.

Procedure
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic. Once the reshaping and lifting of the breast tissue is completed, an Internal Mesh Bra is placed around the breast tissue and secured to the fold under the breast beneath the skin. This placement is designed to lift and support the breast from within. The mesh will act as an internal framework, supporting the breasts long after surgery.
Recovery
The surgical procedure is generally well-tolerated by most patients. While individual recovery times may vary, many patients find that they can return to light activities within a week, and a return to exercise after 6 weeks. As the initial swelling subsides, the final results of the breast lift will gradually become apparent.

FAQs
How long does the internal mesh last?
The internal mesh is gradually absorbed over the course of a year as it is replaced by collagen, the body’s natural support tissue. The mesh acts as a scaffold to guide the laying down of the collagen fibres in a structured pattern to support the breast tissue. The mesh works with both natural breast tissue and breasts with implants.
What does an internal mesh bra do?
An internal bra mesh, supports the breast tissue from within, acting as an internal structure to lift and hold the breast in place. It mimics the function of a supportive bra, providing a more natural and long-lasting lift compared to external garments. This technique can be beneficial for patients undergoing breast augmentation, breast reductions, or any type of cosmetic breast surgery to maintain optimal breast shape and position.
Is the internal bra mesh safe?
Yes, an Internal Mesh Bra has been widely tested and is considered safe for use in breast surgery. The mesh is made from biocompatible material that gradually integrates with your natural breast tissue, promoting healing while offering structural support. Whether used alongside a breast implant in procedures like breast augmentation or in breast reduction procedures, it provides a secure and reliable option for long-term results.
How long does an internal bra mesh lift last?
The longevity of an internal bra mesh lift varies, but many patients report lasting results well over a decade. The mesh helps maintain the breast shape and breast position, reducing the likelihood of sagging over time.
Is it still necessary to wear a push up bra with an Internal Mesh Bra Lift?
While an Internal Mesh Bra provides excellent support from within, some patients may still choose to wear a supportive bra for additional comfort or aesthetic reasons. However, many find they no longer need a push-up bra after internal bra surgery due to the built-in support offered by the mesh, particularly after procedures involving breast augmentation or breast reductions.
