Emerging Applications for Acellular Dermal Matrices in Mastopexy - 05/04/12

Corresponding author.Résumé |
This article explores whether some new acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) can be applied to breast augmentation or reconstruction revision, and particularly whether they can withstand the centripetal pull and prevent recurrent stretch deformities following periareolar mastopexy. Acellular dermis use in breast reconstruction and aesthetic breast revision is a fortuitous development, because their original purpose was for burn reconstruction. Although level 1 evidence remains lacking, ADMs have become integral adjuncts in breast reconstruction, complex hernia, and aesthetic breast revision. New applications continue to be explored, although these are in early stages of development and their long-term value remains to be confirmed.
