Bazaar Magazine Interviews Restora Austin on GalaFLEX

In keeping with its reputation as a titan of breast surgery, Restora Austin was recently tapped by Harper’s Bazaar to shed light on a new, innovative medical product: GalaFLEX. GalaFLEX is a state-of-the-art soft tissue support that improves breast lift results by providing a scaffold that encourages a patient’s own body to make collagen that grows into the scaffold, promoting strength and long-term support. It’s been called an “Internal bra” or the “living bra”. Harper’s Bazaar recently reached out to our Dr. Gordon, who has used GalaFLEX extensively, on why it’s the next best thing for breast lifts.

The Benefits of GalaFLEX

As an absorbable scaffold, GalaFLEX is used by elite breast surgeons like Restora’s Dr. Gordon and Dr. Reid to support the breast for breast enhancement procedures. The GalaFLEX is made from a special polymer that acts like a hammock for the breasts; after a year or two, once the patient’s own strong collagen has formed through the mesh, the polymer dissolves leaving behind a network of tissue that’s four times stronger than the rest of the breast tissue.

Some of the benefits of using GalaFLEX include:

• After the breast lift, the GalaFLEX provides additional support and reduces stress on the skin
• Once it’s integrated into the breast, support is long-lasting
• GalaFLEX helps shape the breast into a rounder, more aesthetically pleasing shape

GalaFLEX – A Safe and Secure Breast Lift

The article does bring up one detractor of the GalaFLEX, a New York City plastic surgeon who’s concerned about GalaFLEX’s possible interference with mammograms. While it is important for patients to make sure their breast procedures don’t interfere with a physician’s ability to diagnose breast cancer, concerns about GalaFLEX are completely misplaced. There are multiple studies on GalaFLEX that show that it doesn’t interfere with mammograms and is perfectly safe to use.

Here are just some of the ways GalaFLEX is actually safer when used with a breast lift than without:

• Less risk of inflammation or infection than other devices
• Mesh dissolves in body after 12-18 months
• Once mesh dissolves, it turns into carbon dioxide and water
• Prevents further sagging, maintains upper pole fullness and reduces need for further surgeries

You deserve a new, perkier, and rejuvenated figure, but you also deserve a breast lift that addresses the very causes of sagging breasts. With GalaFLEX, you can have just that. Contact Restora Austin now, for a consultation.
