I had alloderm put in to line my breast after a mastectomy. Just wanted to know how long it lives in my body before it dies if it does indeed die at some point

Answer: Alloderm Thanks for your question- Ideally, alloderm functions as a scaffold, and becomes incorporated into your body. It becomes living tissue with the ingrowth of your own cells. It doesn't "die", but becomes part of you. Best of luck.

Answer: How long does AlloDerm live in the body? Thank you for your question. Alloderm is human cadaveric tissue that has had all of the cells removed, so it is a scaffold for your own tissues to grow into it. Once the alloderm is "incorporated" into your body it will be with you for life and will not die.
