Galaflex internal mesh with breast implants, could it be painful & detectable to touch?

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.

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.
