Can Alloderm Really Be Totally Absorbed or Disappear?

Acellular dermal matrix does not “totally absorb or disappear”; instead it integrates ( becomes part of) the patient's surrounding tissues. For example, when we are operating on patients who have had acellular dermal matrix used in the past, it is commonplace to see the previously used matrix integrated and still present. Hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Alloderm is a matrix that becomes living structural tissue. I recently published a 12-year follow-up on a revision breast reconstruction case, and the Alloderm had not diminished. However, not all acellular dermal matrix products are created in a way that supports this transformation.

AlloDerm does not disappear.  It is a regenerative tissue matrix where your own natural blood vessels and tissue integrates into the AlloDerm matrix.  Hope this helps.
