GalaFLEX Surgical Scaffold in Grand Rapids

While plastic surgeons who perform breast augmentation surgeries strive to deliver outstanding results for every patient, the reality is that every woman's body and procedure is different, so results can vary, especially over time. Post-surgery changes in the years after an augmentation prompt some women to seek a revision.

The most common cause cited for the desire for breast revision surgery is sagging, technically known as ptosis. Gravity pulls breasts downward over time, especially large and heavy breasts. GalaFLEX is designed to reduce new or recurrent drooping aftereffects, especially in a woman who increases her breast volume; has poor, stretchy, elastic skin; or has had significant weight loss, by providing her breasts with a structural boost from the beginning.

Women may choose a breast lift to counteract that natural gravitational shift whether they've received implants or not, but even after a lift, breasts will still be subject to the forces pulling them downward. As Dr. Bengtson says, "if it weren't for gravity I may be out of business." Like a bra prevents breasts from hanging down, GalaFLEX provides an internal hammock or "internal bra" structure while simultaneously promoting the growth of tissue to become a more long lasting natural support.
