Galaflex revision - should I stay under the muscle or switch to over?

March 30, 2022
Asked By:cherylweaver in Cuba, New York

I am scheduled to have a revision that includes a new breast lift with the addition of Galaflex. I currently have under the muscle silicone implants. My question is if I should stay under the muscle or switch to over the muscle? My revision is due to bottoming out and having my implants more in my armpits. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Richard Baxter, MD says:

Galaflex adds support to the implants while internal sutures (capsulorrhaphy) only closes off part of the pocket. This relies on the strength of your own tissue regardless of the type of sutures. Most of the discomfort is related to the sutures not the mesh. If you want the most reliable way to...

10k to add Galaflex to breast reduction?
Richard Baxter, MD says:

I can't comment on what others charge, but in my practice the additional cost is about $3500. This covers the cost of the material, as well as the additional surgical time, anesthesia, and facility. I've been using Galaflex with breast reductions for more than 8 years now and it is well worth...
