In today’s breast surgery procedures, precision, aesthetics, and longevity of results matter more than ever. That’s where DuraSorb® comes in. This absorbable mesh acts as temporary internal support for breast tissue and implants during the breast surgery healing process. By providing structural reinforcement, DuraSorb® helps maintain breast shape and promote better long-term outcomes.

How DuraSorb® EnhancesBreast Surgery Outcomes

DuraSorb® mesh is designed to act as an internal scaffold, offering temporary reinforcement while the body heals. Made from polydioxanone (PDO), this absorbable mesh gradually dissolves over six to nine months, during which time the body naturally replaces it with collagen. This helps maintain implant position (if applicable) and breast shape while reducing the risk of issues like bottoming out or tissue laxity.

DuraSorb® is particularly effective for patients with softer breast tissue or those undergoing procedures that require reshaping and repositioning. In breast augmentation, it provides added support so implants stay correctly positioned. As a surgical mesh for breast lift or breast reduction, DuraSorb® preserves the contour of the newly elevated tissue until the natural structure can take over.

DuraSorb® vs. GalaFlex™:What’s the Difference?

While both DuraSorb® and GalaFlex™ serve similar functions, they differ in material and absorption timeline. DuraSorb® offers slightly stronger initial support but dissolves faster, making it ideal for patients seeking reinforcement during healing without long-term foreign material. GalaFlex™, on the other hand, lasts longer in the body before dissolving. Dr. Rodriguez will review which option is better for your treatment plan.

Long-Term Results From DuraSorb®in Breast Procedures

The long-run results of DuraSorb® in breast procedures are quite promising. As the mesh dissolves and is replaced by the body’s own collagen, patients experience improved breast stability and shape retention. Since the material is fully absorbed, it doesn’t interfere with future surgeries and won’t remain a permanent fixture in the body. This allows for both aesthetic consistency and surgical flexibility over time.
