I'm downsizing my implants and considering using GalaFlex mesh for support. However, I've come across women on social media who have chosen to remove the mesh after one year due to pain. They are experiencing sensitivity and discomfort, making it difficult to wear a bra, and they can feel the mesh. Have you spoken to any patients who have used the mesh for one year or longer, and are they reporting similar issues or consistent pain?
Pain issues with Galaflex are very uncommon after the initial healing process. In some cases, patients with thin tissue may be able to feel it for a while, but it typically transforms into living tissue over a period of 12-18 months.
It is an absorbable material. Most women do not experience pain with the mesh, although some may feel it to the touch until it dissolves. It is important to note that not all cases require mesh to achieve desired results. Consulting with revision breast experts is recommended to explore your options.
Galaflex mesh in breast augmentation has not been associated with breast pain in the clinical experience of the doctor. The mesh provides support and is designed to be absorbed over time. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon for their thoughts and experiences.
