My PS is recommending an internal mesh Galaflex. I am currently AA cup and looking for 250cc- 275cc under the muscle. I do not have saggy breasts. I never heard of mesh and I am afraid it will be painful and detectable to the touch.
Answer: Galamesh breast augmentation Often times, an absorbable mesh product is utilized in augmentation cases to assist in long term positioning of the implant in relation to the nipple and re-draped skin. Yes, any implant could potentially be detected with palpation by the savvy provider, however I doubt that you will have much trouble with this product as we have used it hundreds of times in small and large busted women without issue and with good cosmetic results.

Answer: Mesh only when it is needed Thanks so much for reaching out. While the use of mesh is gaining popularity in breast surgery. I feel that it should be use only when it’s needed. Sometimes with residual breast surgery or the use of a very large implant in a patient whose skin is unreliable, a mesh can add much needed support. However, in your case, I do not see, the point of using a mesh. With a small, tight skin envelope and a small implant, I don’t see that it would add any benefit to your result. If you don’t like the plan of your surgeon, I would always advise to seek a second option. Good luck on your journey.

Answer: Galaflex internal mesh with breast implants, could it be painful & detectable to touch? Thank you for sharing your question. For the majority of primary breast augmentations mesh is unnecessary and will initially feel firm to the touch until incorporated by your tissues. Mesh is typically used for patients with poor skin quality - such as massive weight loss patients - or in cases of correcting implant malposition. It can be used to reinforce a particular "look" a patient desires, but with your estimated range of implant sizes, it is unlikely to be needed. As your surgeon recommended it to you, best to ask them for their rationale.
