What's Your Position on AlloDerm? Conservative Patient Has Severe Scarring in Implant I have severe scaring from breast implant and need to have another procedure to remove scar and re insert implant. Doctor suggest to put in AlloDerm to minimize future scaring. I am very conservative and not really convinced that I want it. It's a foreign object that could have unnecessary complications, how small the chance it might be. It's not like I had a mastectomy. Would you say there's a good arguement for and against the AlloDerm in breast implants? Thank you for your time.

Breast impants which develop significant capsular contractures are difficult to deal with. Alloderm has been used for multiple purposes for breast implant revsion for rippling in cosmetic implant surgery. Alloderm has been used for multiple years for freast reconstruction and it has been associated with a decrease in capsular contracture by some surgeons. If you have recurring problems with implants the devices can be removed and if possible you could later have fat graft if several other factors are considered and you are found to be an approriate candidate.
