Enhance and prolong the natural support and longevity of your breast augmentation or lift with the internal bra technique. Using bioabsorbable GalaFLEX mesh scaffolding, Dr. Clayton Crantford provides superior internal support for superior aesthetic outcomes.
SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION or call (843) 350-5356The internal bra technique uses a bioabsorbable mesh scaffold—specifically GalaFLEX—to provide long-term internal support during breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast implant revision surgery. This innovative approach reinforces the breast tissue and implant pocket, creating a supportive foundation that enhances results and extends the longevity of your procedure.
Rather than relying solely on the natural breast tissue to support implants or the lifted breast, the internal bra technique creates an internal support system that mimics natural connective tissue. Over time, the bioabsorbable mesh gradually transforms into your body’s own tissue, providing lasting support while eliminating the need for permanent artificial materials.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATIONThe internal bra technique delivers multiple advantages for breast augmentation and lift patients seeking superior, longer-lasting results.
Bioabsorbable mesh provides structural reinforcement of the implant pocket, ensuring your implants maintain their position and appearance over time while the body converts the scaffold to natural tissue.
The internal support system prevents implants from descending over time, a complication known as bottoming out, preserving the natural silhouette and preventing the need for revision surgery.
By maintaining the structural integrity of the breast lift or implant pocket, the internal bra technique helps preserve your carefully sculpted shape, maintaining consistent results year after year.
GalaFLEX mesh safely bioabsorbs as your body’s natural collagen develops within the scaffold, creating a permanent internal support system composed of your own tissue—no permanent foreign material remains.
GalaFLEX mesh represents the latest advancement in surgical support materials, with proven safety and biocompatibility.
GalaFLEX has been extensively studied and proven to integrate safely with your body’s tissue, gradually transforming into your natural collagen.
Unlike some scaffolding materials, GalaFLEX completely bioabsorbs within 2-3 years, leaving only your body’s naturally formed supportive tissue behind.
The scaffold follows a well-understood bioabsorption timeline, allowing your tissues to develop consistently and predictably for optimal long-term support.
The internal bra technique adds minimal time to your procedure with no significant impact on recovery when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Crantford.
Understanding what to expect helps you prepare for your enhanced breast surgery journey.
Dr. Crantford will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine whether the internal bra technique is appropriate for your procedure and desired outcomes.
During your procedure, Dr. Crantford carefully positions the GalaFLEX mesh to create an internal support scaffold tailored to your anatomy, creating optimal support with minimal visible impact.
Your body begins integrating the mesh immediately, with complete bioabsorption occurring over 2-3 years. Our ERAS protocol ensures comfortable, supported healing.
