This is being tauted widely as the best breast reconstruction procedure out there for women to get through this terrifying and tramatic experience.
Unfortunately, many doctors do NOT know how to do this procedure yet, hence it is not widely available leaving patients to not be able to have it as an option insurance-wise. I have never heard anyone say anything about Alloderm not being sterile and not wanting to put it near an implant. Can you please elaborate?
there are times when it is an extremely important part of the reconstruction, and other times when it is not necessary. Basically, alloderm is an acellualr dermal matrix, harvesteded from the underside of human skin and, after the cells are removed, prepared for use in patients. It can be extremely helpful in breast reconstruction with both expanders and implants, making the reconstruction quicker and easier, and often improving the appearance of the reconstructed breast. When used with expanders, it can quicken the time to expansion and help guide the vector of expansion for ptimum results. It can also allow us to perform immediate reconstruction with implants in select patients, thus avoiding an entire operation to remove the expander and replace it with a permanent implant. It also can help us place the implant along the exact inframamamry fold, improving the appearance of the breast.
What is the success rate of using Alloderm to correct Symmastia?
include the use of acellular dermal matrix to reinforce the repair. Essentially, in synmastia, the two implants have combined to create a single plane which extends across the midline, which can give the appearance of one continuous breast. One method to correct this difficult problem is to remove the implants, allow the tissue to heal, and then go back and replace the implants at a slightly different level. If the patient is determined to keep the implants, the repair has to be accomplished and strong enough to wiithstand the same forces that created the problem in the first place. Sutures alone usually will not work, and allograft to reinforce the repair has been extremely helpful.
I understand it is a piece of tissue, like collagen. could it possibly be used in the chin to bring it out a bit or under the eyes for undereye hollows?
including the ones you mentioned. I use FlexHD for breast reconstruction and Belladerm for facial cosmetic surgery and facial reconstruction. In particular, I have been most pleased by the results of combining a small segment of belladerm in the cheek in combination with a short scar facelift to rejuvenate the face and fill in the mid face area over the cheek bones. I have also used Belladerm in nasal reconstruction to smooth out any small defects on the dorsum of the nose.
