The “internal bra” technique has the effect of creating an internal bra using strong, permanent suture techniques. Using special lighted retractors, the implant pockets are expanded (capsulotomy) superiorly and medially, creating room for the implants to be repositioned at a higher level and closer together- creating better cleavage, a more youthful shape, and improved fullness in the upper pole of the breast. After expanding the pockets in these directions, the part of the capsule that rests laterally and inferiorly (partial capsulectomy) is permanently removed and sutured closed, thus preventing the implants from resting too low or falling too laterally to the sides. Permanent sutures are used for a long-lasting result. These sutures are carefully placed so that the suture material is never in direct contact with the implants inside the body.
