The Shape of Your Future

The field of aesthetics is always evolving, the latest technology and techniques offer patients a variety of ways to approach looking and feeling their best. 

GalaFLEX, GalaFORM, and GalaSHAPE
Have you heard of the internal bra? It provides additional support during their breast surgeries. Galatea Surgical offers different configurations of mesh, including GalaFLEX, GalaFORM, and GalaSHAPE. These surgical meshes allow your body’s own tissue to grow into them, essentially creating a welcomed layer of scar tissue for long-lasting support. As your tissue grows into the mesh, the mesh slowly absorbs. Ultimately, there is no foreign material left!

The mesh is typically used for women who want significant revisions of their breast augmentation because of capsular contracture or malposition of the implant. However, the mesh also can be used in more routine breast lifting or reduction procedures if a patient desires more longevity to their result.

The mesh isn’t limited to the breast, actually.  It can be used anywhere additional support and strength is desired. The mesh can help reinforce  the muscle tightening during abdominoplasties to prevent stretching of  the muscles over time, for instance.

BodyTite, FaceTite, Morpheus8
For head-to-toe skin tightening and cellulite reduction, this powerful platform uses radiofrequency energy delivered in multiple ways to tighten the skin itself and, more important, the latticework of tissue underneath the skin (called the “fibroseptal network”). By heating both the skin and the underlying support structures, the effects are additive and can often mimic a surgical result.

There is a reason why the BodyTite, FaceTite, Morpheus8, and EmbraceRF are being used more and more by practitioners across the country—they work and typically only one treatment is needed. Most treatments are only $2500-$5000, depending on the areas involved. And best of all, these procedures are often done without general anesthesia and with only minimal downtime, so they’re great for people on-the-go.
