Breast surgery is a transformative procedure, whether you’re enhancing your natural curves, restoring volume after pregnancy, or undergoing reconstructive surgery. While traditional techniques yield excellent results, modern advancements like DuraSorb™ internal bras are revolutionizing patient outcomes. Although not FDA approved for the breast specifically, it is FDA approved for soft tissue support. Here’s how this cutting-edge technology can improve your breast surgery experience and results.

What Is DuraSorb™ Internal Bra?
DuraSorb is a bioresorbable mesh designed to provide internal support to the breast tissue after surgery. Acting like an internal bra, this medical-grade scaffold helps hold implants or reconstructed tissue in place while the body heals. Over time, DuraSorb naturally dissolves, leaving behind a strengthened collagen foundation.
Benefits of Internal Bras in Breast Surgery
Improved Implant Stability
One of the main challenges after breast augmentation or reconstruction is maintaining the desired implant position. DuraSorb helps support the implant, minimizing the risk of downward migration or shifting over time. This stability contributes to more consistent, longer-lasting results.
Enhanced Healing and Support
The bioresorbable mesh provides immediate structural support while your body recovers. By alleviating stress on surgical incisions and the surrounding tissue, DuraSorb promotes optimal healing and reduces the risk of complications. Additionally, it is important to support the breast implant to reduce the risk of “bottoming-out.” Sometimes poor skin quality caused either by genetics, pregancy, hormonal changes, or general againg can cause the implant to move downward while the existing breast tissue and nipple stay in place creating a low appearance.
Natural-Looking Results
For patients undergoing breast lifts or reconstructive surgeries, internal bras can create a smoother contour and a more natural appearance. The support ensures the tissue settles in a way that complements the body’s proportions.
Durability Without a Permanent Foreign Material
Unlike permanent internal support devices, DuraSorb gradually dissolves, leaving no long-term synthetic material in the body. This reduces the risk of adverse reactions while maintaining the desired structural integrity.
Who Is a Good Candidate for DuraSorb?
DuraSorb is ideal for patients seeking breast augmentation, lifts, reductions, or reconstruction, especially those concerned about implant stability or long-term results. It’s also a valuable option for those with thinner breast tissue or higher risks of implant displacement.
