What Breast Procedures Can Benefit from the GalaFLEX™ Internal Bra?

At Azouz Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery in Dallas, TX, patients seeking breast surgery have access to the latest surgical advancements, including the innovative GalaFLEX™ Internal Bra. This state-of-the-art support system has changed the way many cosmetic and reconstructive breast procedures are performed—enhancing both the results and the longevity of breast surgery outcomes.

If you’re considering a breast lift, augmentation, reduction, or revision surgery, the GalaFLEX™ scaffold may be an ideal adjunct to help support your goals. Here’s what patients should know about how this internal bra works and when it may be recommended.

What Is the GalaFLEX™ Internal Bra?

The GalaFLEX™ Internal Bra is a bioresorbable surgical mesh made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a material that is gradually absorbed by the body over time. It is placed internally during surgery to act as a supportive scaffold that reinforces weakened or stretched breast tissue.

Over several months, the GalaFLEX mesh stimulates collagen production and strengthens the surrounding tissue, providing a long-term internal support structure that helps maintain the shape and position of the breasts.

Unlike permanent synthetic meshes, GalaFLEX dissolves naturally within 12 to 18 months, leaving behind stronger, healthier tissue.

Which Breast Procedures Can Benefit from GalaFLEX?

At Azouz Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, our surgeons frequently utilize the GalaFLEX Internal Bra during various breast surgeries, especially when extra support is needed to improve outcomes or reduce the risk of complications over time.

1. Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Patients seeking to correct sagging or ptosis often benefit from GalaFLEX, especially if the breast tissue is weak or has thinned due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss.

Benefit: Helps maintain lift by reinforcing tissue and minimizing the risk of bottoming out or re-sagging.

2. Breast Augmentation

When placing implants – especially larger ones -the added weight can stretch the breast tissue. GalaFLEX provides internal support that helps the skin and soft tissues bear the implant load more comfortably and securely.

Benefit: Supports implant position, prevents early tissue laxity, and may reduce revision risk.

3. Breast Lift with Augmentation (Augmentation Mastopexy)

This combination procedure can be particularly challenging due to the dual goals of lifting and volumizing. GalaFLEX helps surgeons achieve both without over-stressing the native tissue.

Benefit: Enhances the durability and aesthetic outcome of this high-demand surgery.

4. Breast Reduction

In reductions, where a significant amount of tissue is removed, patients are at risk for recurrent sagging over time. Adding GalaFLEX can provide long-lasting support and help retain the post-op breast shape.

Benefit: Reinforces reduced breast tissue, preserving contour and upper pole fullness.

5. Revision or Reconstructive Breast Surgery

For patients undergoing implant revisions, capsulectomies, or post-mastectomy reconstruction, GalaFLEX can help rebuild internal support structures that have weakened due to previous surgeries or radiation.

Benefit: Restores stability and symmetry while improving long-term implant position and comfort.

Why Consider the GalaFLEX Internal Bra?

The internal bra concept has become increasingly popular as patients seek longer-lasting, natural-looking results from their breast procedures. GalaFLEX offers several key advantages:

• Improved tissue integrity
• Reduced risk of recurrent sagging or implant malposition
• Fewer future revisions
• Enhanced support without adding volume
• Minimally detectable once integrated into the tissue

At Azouz Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, patient safety and surgical excellence are top priorities. By incorporating GalaFLEX into selected procedures, Dr. Azouz provides patients with a powerful tool to enhance both function and aesthetics, all while reducing long-term complications.

The decision to include GalaFLEX with your breast surgery depends on several factors, including your anatomy, surgical goals, skin quality, and whether you’re undergoing primary or revision surgery.
