Can Galaflex be used for over the muscle?
Answer: Galaflex over the muscle Hello. It can as it is often used as soft tissue support. Nonetheless, it really depends on why you are using it, how much breast tissue you have, etc. Galaflex can be awfully stiff and when placed in the wrong thin patient, they may be actually able to feel the mesh which is less than optimal. Good luck!

Answer: Mesh Yes, mesh can be placed over the muscle, however, support is usually needed for the lower half of the breast and muscle is in the upper portion. Usually mesh over the muscle is not helpful unless a specific problem, like a hernia torn through the muscle, is present.

Answer: Galaflex Dear BCollins2109, yes, generally speaking, it is possible to use Galaflex mash over the muscle. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Can Galaflex be used over the muscle? Thanks for your question! Yes, Galaflex and other dissolvable meshes are commonly used for supporting implants placed in all planes. These planes include submuscular (beneath muscle), subfascial (above muscle, below fascia) or subglandular (above muscle, above fascia). These meshes are a valuable tool for breast augmentation and augmentation revision. They help maintain the implant's position on the chest wall and can increase the longevity of the result and avoid malposition as the soft tissues are healing.
