Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, has evolved significantly in recent years, thanks to innovations in meshes, such as GalaFLEX. This revolutionary technique has revolutionised breast lift procedures, offering enhanced support and better outcomes.
In this blog we’ll compare a GalaFLEX breast uplift with traditional techniques in breast lift surgery, highlighting the advancements and benefits it brings to the field.
Introducing the GalaFLEX breast uplift
The GalaFLEX breast uplift is a revolutionary advancement in breast lift surgery. It is a bioresorbable mesh that offers soft tissue reinforcement and support, providing long-lasting structural integrity. This innovative approach has opened new doors in the world of breast lifts.
The GalaFLEX Mesh is utilised as an internal bra providing structural support to the breast tissue. This not only results in a more natural-looking lift but also contributes to the longevity of the results.
Benefits of GalaFLEX breast uplift surgery
The introduction of GalaFLEX breast uplift surgery has brought a range of benefits to breast surgery, making it a desirable option for many patients.
- Enhanced longevity: The procedure helps to maintain the new breast shape over an extended period, reducing the chances of breast sagging recurring.
- Reduced abnormal scarring: Traditional techniques can often result in abnormal scar stretching, whereas GalaFLEX breast uplift surgery minimises this concern, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.
- Faster recovery: Patients often experience a quicker and more comfortable recovery with GalaFLEX breast uplift surgery, allowing them to return to their normal activities sooner.
Comparing Surgical Techniques: GalaFLEX Breast Uplift Surgery vs. Traditional
Let’s dig deeper into the comparison between GalaFLEX breast uplift surgery and traditional techniques, focusing on key aspects:
- Internal Support: Traditional methods often involve larger incisions, while GalaFLEX breast uplift surgery uses smaller, strategically placed incisions. It acts as an internal support system, reducing scarring and contributing to a more comfortable recovery. The internal support provided by the internal mesh allows an uplit to be confidently performed in combination with an augmentation as the mesh will support the additional weight.
- Scarring and Recovery: Traditional techniques can lead to more noticeable scarring and a longer recovery. GalaFLEX breast uplift surgery, with its innovative internal support, often results in less abnormal scarring and a swifter, more comfortable healing process.
- Impact on Outcomes and Experience: GalaFLEX breast uplift surgery enhances the longevity of results, offers a more natural look and feel, and leads to higher patient satisfaction with aesthetics. Reduced scarring and quicker recovery create a positive overall patient experience.
Safety and Considerations with GalaFLEX Breast Lift
While the procedure is generally regarded as safe, patients should engage in comprehensive discussions with their surgeon to assess their suitability for the procedure and to gain insights into potential complications.
Selecting a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, such as Mr Hyder Ridha from HR Plastic Surgery, who is well-versed in GalaFLEX-assisted mastopexy procedures is paramount.
