My PS informed me that during the pre-op he would be using belladerm instead of alloderm to create a breast implant sling. Is belladerm an inferior product? Does belladerm function as well as alloderm in implant revision surgery? Is belladerm as good as alloderm in longevity?

Answer: Alloderm vs Belladerm I personally have never heard of BellaDerm. I did Google it and it is a product available which is acellular dermal matrix. Alloderm has the longest track record of any acellular dermal matrix on the market. It is the most recommended and most used tissue matrix. It has over 100 publications documenting its use. Additionally, Alloderm has coding for insurance companies and Coverage and reimbursement from insurance companies. Alloderm provides conferences throughout the year for physicians to continue learning about the product and the newest surgical techniques available providing the safest possible environment
