Abstract

Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) have been used for postmastectomy breast reconstruction, primary and secondary breast augmentation, and reduction mammaplasty. In postmastectomy breast reconstruction, ADMs can be used to either create an implant pocket in single-stage reconstruction or to create the inferolateral portion of the tissue expander pocket in two-stage reconstruction. Specific deformities after cosmetic breast augmentation such as contour irregularities and implant malposition can be addressed with ADMs. The use of ADMs is a safe alternative for the correction of breast deformities after reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery.
