Breast augmentation and implant revision surgeries offer women the chance to enhance or restore their breast aesthetics. However, complications such as implant displacement, bottoming out, or weak tissue can affect the long-term success of these procedures. The Internal Bra technique, developed by Dr. Don R. Revis, JR., MD, FACS, has emerged as an innovative solution to support and stabilize breast implants, providing lasting, beautiful results. But how do you know if this procedure is the right choice for you?

In this article, we will explore the key factors to consider when determining whether the Internal Bra technique is the best option for your breast augmentation or revision surgery.

1. Have You Experienced Complications from a Previous Breast Surgery?

The Internal Bra is often recommended for women who are experiencing complications from a previous breast augmentation, particularly issues like bottoming out or implant displacement. These conditions occur when the implants move out of their original position, leading to asymmetry, sagging, or an unnatural appearance. The Internal Bra helps correct these issues by providing additional internal support and preventing future movement.

Common complications the Internal Bra can address include:

• Bottoming Out: When the implant slips below the natural breast fold, causing the nipple to appear unnaturally high.
• Lateral Displacement: When implants shift to the sides, leading to an unnatural widening of the cleavage.
• Symmastia: When implants move too close together, causing the breasts to appear joined in the center.
• Double Bubble: When the implant creates an additional crease below the natural breast fold, causing a dual contour.

If you are experiencing any of these issues after a previous augmentation, the Internal Bra may be the right choice to restore a natural, symmetrical appearance.

2. Do You Have Weak or Thin Breast Tissue?

Women with thin or weak breast tissue may find that their natural tissue is not strong enough to properly support implants over time. This can lead to complications like bottoming out, especially in the case of larger implants. The Internal Bra is ideal for patients with weak tissue because it provides an extra layer of support.

The biologic or synthetic mesh used in the Internal Bra technique integrates with your natural tissue, reinforcing the breast pocket and ensuring that the implants remain in place. This added support is crucial for maintaining the long-term stability of the implants, particularly in patients with delicate or weakened tissue.

3. Are You Considering Larger Implants?

While larger implants can create a fuller, more dramatic look, they also place additional strain on the breast tissue. Women who choose larger implants are at a higher risk of experiencing bottoming out or displacement, as the weight of the implants can stretch or weaken the tissue over time.

The Internal Bra offers enhanced support for larger implants, reducing the risk of complications. By reinforcing the implant pocket and providing structural stability, the Internal Bra allows women to confidently choose larger implants without compromising the longevity or appearance of their results.

4. Are You Undergoing a Breast Lift Alongside Augmentation?

For women who are considering both a breast lift (mastopexy) and augmentation, the Internal Bra can be a valuable addition to the surgical plan. A breast lift tightens and reshapes the breast tissue, while augmentation adds volume using implants. However, combining these procedures can sometimes lead to tension on the breast tissue, increasing the risk of displacement.

The Internal Bra provides the additional support needed to hold the implants in place after a lift, ensuring that the results are both perky and long-lasting. This is especially important for women with loose skin or sagging breasts, as the Internal Bra helps maintain the integrity of the breast shape over time.

5. Are You Looking for Long-Term Implant Stability?

While most breast augmentations are successful, some women may experience complications years after their initial surgery due to changes in their body, aging, or gravity. If you’re seeking a long-term solution that will provide stability and support for your implants over the years, the Internal Bra is an excellent choice.

The Internal Bra’s reinforcement helps ensure that your implants remain in their correct position, even as your body undergoes natural changes over time. It reduces the likelihood of needing revision surgery in the future, allowing you to enjoy lasting, natural-looking results.

6. Are You Concerned About Asymmetry?

Breast asymmetry, where one breast is noticeably different in size or shape from the other, is a common concern for women seeking breast augmentation or revision surgery. The Internal Bra can help address this issue by providing better control over implant placement and positioning, ensuring that each breast sits evenly and symmetrically.

Whether you are undergoing augmentation for the first time or seeking to correct previous asymmetry from a prior surgery, the Internal Bra offers a precise, reliable solution for achieving balanced, harmonious results.

7. Are You a Candidate for Implant Revision Surgery?

The Internal Bra is frequently used in implant revision surgery, particularly for women who have experienced complications such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or displacement. Revision surgery can be complex, as the breast tissue may already be compromised from a previous augmentation. The Internal Bra provides the additional support needed to achieve successful revision outcomes, stabilizing the implant pocket and reducing the risk of future complications.

If you’re unhappy with the results of a previous breast augmentation or are experiencing complications, the Internal Bra may be the ideal option for your revision surgery, ensuring long-term stability and enhanced results.

8. Do You Prioritize Minimizing Future Complications?

For women who want to minimize the likelihood of future complications, the Internal Bra is an excellent preventive measure. By reinforcing the internal structures of the breast and creating a supportive foundation for the implants, the Internal Bra helps protect against common issues like bottoming out, lateral displacement, and sagging.

This proactive approach to breast augmentation ensures that your results will not only look beautiful immediately after surgery but will remain stable and aesthetically pleasing for years to come.
