Asked By:AnneR

I currently have tissue expanders. My surgeon will use alloderm to make a hammock during implant exchange. What are advantages & disadvantages of using Alloderm at this final stage? What effect will it have on my pectoral muscles? Will I see or feel a ridge along suture line once stitches have dissolved? Thank you
