Enhance Surgical Strength with GalaFLEX®

At Dr. Rodriguez’s practice, achieving beautiful and long-lasting surgical outcomes is a top priority. For patients undergoing breast lifts, breast reductions, or other soft tissue procedures, GalaFLEX® surgical scaffolding provides additional support to help maintain shape, structure, and strength as the body heals.

GalaFLEX® is a biocompatible, absorbable mesh designed to reinforce weakened or stretched tissue, allowing the body to rebuild naturally over time. This innovative technology offers stronger, more durable results while reducing the risk of complications such as sagging or recurrent laxity.

What Is GalaFLEX®?

GalaFLEX® is a FDA-cleared, bioresorbable mesh made from polyglycolic acid (PGA), a material commonly used in dissolvable sutures. Once placed, the mesh provides immediate structural support, acting as an internal “bra” while the body generates new collagen and connective tissue. Over time, GalaFLEX® gradually dissolves (typically within 12–18 months), leaving behind stronger, natural tissue that maintains the shape and firmness of the surgical results.

Why Dr. Rodriguez Recommends GalaFLEX®

  • RSupports weakened or stretched tissue for enhanced shape and lift.
  • RHelps prevent recurrent sagging, especially after a breast lift or reduction.
  • RStimulates natural collagen production, strengthening the area for long-term results.
  • RGradually dissolves, leaving behind naturally reinforced tissue.
  • RProven to improve surgical outcomes in breast and body contouring procedures.

How GalaFLEX® Enhances Surgical Procedures

GalaFLEX® is often recommended for patients undergoing:

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast lifts restore a more youthful, elevated breast position. Dr. Rodriguez may use GalaFLEX® to provide additional internal support, preventing the breasts from sagging again too soon after surgery.

Breast Reduction

For patients with heavy, sagging breasts, GalaFLEX® offers added reinforcement to help maintain shape and minimize stress on healing tissue.

Body Contouring & Skin Tightening

In select procedures, such as arm lifts, tummy tucks, or bra-line lifts, GalaFLEX® can help reinforce soft tissue, ensuring longer-lasting results.

What to Expect After Surgery with GalaFLEX®

Healing & Recovery

  • RGalaFLEX® integrates with the body as healing progresses, providing continuous support.
  • RMost patients notice that the treated area feels stronger and more secure during recovery.
  • RThe mesh dissolves naturally over 12–18 months, leaving behind reinforced, collagen-rich tissue.

Long-Term Results

Because GalaFLEX® stimulates collagen growth, patients can expect longer-lasting surgical results compared to procedures performed without internal support. This reduces the risk of tissue weakening and maintains a more lifted, sculpted appearance over time.

Is GalaFLEX® Right for You?

During your consultation, Dr. Rodriguez will evaluate whether GalaFLEX® is a beneficial addition to your procedure. Patients who may benefit include:
  • RThose with weakened or stretched skin due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy.
  • RPatients undergoing a revision procedure to improve previous surgical results.
  • RIndividuals seeking longer-lasting lift and contouring effects.
