Acellular Dermal Matrix for Reoperative Breast Augmentation

Abstract: Revisionary breast surgery in previously augmented patients is complex, with many variables that have to be considered. Obtaining durable repairs is challenging because these patients often present with thinned breast tissue, inadequate local tissue, and/or scarred breast envelope from multiple procedures. Capsular contracture, ptosis, tissue atrophy, and wrinkling/rippling are some of the most frequent reasons for reoperation. Conventional repair techniques generally involve a combination of capsule modificat… Show more

“…The advent of biologic meshes brought acellular dermal matrices into play, which attempt to restore soft tissue structural support to the breast. 6 , 7 More recently, creative approaches to correct malposition have been described, including the use of the shoelace breast cast and neo-pocket creation. 8 10 Although all these techniques have been described, few studies have examined risk factors for implant malposition in the reconstructive population.…”

“…Following the introduction of acellular dermal matrices (ADM), their use in breast reconstruction has increased dramatically and is estimated to be upwards of 60%‐75% in staged implant‐based breast reconstruction . The proposed benefits for using ADM in staged implant‐based breast reconstruction include improved lower pole projection, support of the overlying mastectomy skin, control of the implant pocket, increased rate of expansion, decreased long‐term rate of capsular contracture, and decreased rippling . However, ADM usage is not without complications.…”

“…Furthermore, ADM elicits no immune responses because it does not express any major histocompatibility antigens, either class I or II. With these advantages, ADM is widely used in breast reconstruction, [13] hernia repair, plastic surgery, such as rhinoplasty [14] and lip augmentation, [15] and penile surgery. Phalloplasty with ADM resulted in satisfactory penile augmentation with minimal morbidity.…”
