Benefits of the GalaFLEX^® Scaffold for Breast Lift

Posted in Breast Lift

Also referred to as mastopexy, breast lift surgery can be a great option for many women seeking to rejuvenate their figure by correcting a moderate to significant degree of breast sagging. While the majority of mastopexy patients are able to enjoy the beautiful results of their procedure for years and years to come, some individuals may experience a reoccurrence of breast drooping not so long after their surgery. Thankfully, there is now a way to help prevent accelerated breast re-sagging, effectively extending the longevity of breast lift results for numerous women.

For patients who are susceptible to the reoccurrence of breast sagging after mastopexy (e.g. those who have weakened breast tissue and/or need tissue support), Dr. Daniel Mills offers an innovative solution called the GalaFLEX^® scaffold. Composed of a bioresorbable fiber, the GalaFLEX^® scaffold is a lattice-like surgical device that can be placed during breast lift surgery to help reinforce weak tissues while encouraging the production of new, natural tissues. Providing a porous framework, the device enables collagen to grow and healthy blood vessels to develop by promoting cell migration into its pores, resulting in breast tissues that may be three to five times stronger than before. Best of all, the GalaFLEX^® scaffold eventually breaks down via hydrolysis and is safely absorbed by the body after about 18-24 months, leaving behind only natural byproducts (carbon and water) and the newly developed, more durable breast tissue.

Ultimately, the strengthening and regeneration of tissues made possible by the GalaFLEX^® scaffold has allowed numerous women to achieve the long-lasting breast lift results they desire. If you are interested in primary mastopexy, or if you’re experiencing moderate to significant breast drooping following a previous breast lift and are seeking revisional surgery, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mills to find out if the GalaFLEX^® scaffold could help you achieve your goals.
