The tissue issue
Understanding breast changes
Breast sagging or dropping or changes in the shape of the breast occur because the quality of our tissue changes over time, compromising the tissue strength required to maintain the position of the breast1,2,11
As women age, the gradual loss of collagen is what causes skin to become thinner and less elastic, resulting in sagging and wrinkles.1,12
There are
many factors
that can
accelerate
this effect: 1,12
Genetics
Gravity
Smoking
Previous surgery
Implant exchange
or removal
Sun & UV exposure
Diet & weight fluctuations
Pregnancies & breastfeeding
Menopause
Body composition
Surgery to correct breast sagging may provide satisfactory results for a while; but ultimately will not change the quality of the tissue.
So, the breast may drop again with time.1,2,11,26 This may result in women feeling unhappy with the breast appearance or wanting further surgery.1,2,11
Reoperation is generally more complex and can add additional cost to the patient. 1,2,11
Approximately 1 out of 3 of breast surgery women undergo a reoperation. 16
Within 10 years following breast surgery, many women undergo a reoperation to revise their initial surgical results, according to clinical studies. 16
Nearly half of the revision’s surgeries among aesthetic breast implant patients is due to sagging of the breast. 16

An internal bra is a variety of techniques in breast surgery, that aim to help maintain breast shape
and position over time by stabilizing the breast internally.27
Breast surgery with an internal bra is sometimes compared to an internal “push-up” bra or an internal “hammock”.
Clinical studies have shown that GalaFLEX Internal BraTM maintains the shape and position of the breast obtained after aesthetic breast surgery.9,18,24
