I'm reading mixed reviews on this topic.
Answer: Capsular contracture is very complicated There is no single known cause of breast capsular contracture. Reasons often cited are: bleeding and infection. The reason to use ADMs (Acellular Dermal Matrices) may be related to those past issues including the actual treatment of capsular contracture. The short answer is that there really isn't any particular device or product that can eliminate capsular contracture; however, in a case by case basis, the use of the ADM (Alloderm, Strattice, Surgimend, etc), may be needed as part of the reconstructive breast procedure to achieve a soft and well protected breast pocket that will ultimately surround the implant.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Alloderm and capsular contrature Strattice The short answer is yes as of a study published this month. There were mixed answers before because we didn't have the while story but we now know that for women who develop capsular contracture placing Alloderm or strattice will reduce their chances of developing another capsular contracture.

Answer: Capcon correction Strattice and Alloderm have been very helpful to most surgeons dealing with capsular contracture. Although it is a fairly infrequent event it has been a "magic bullet" in my experience and I recommend it highly.

Answer: Capsular contracture There are several studies that do show a significant reduction in the incidence of capsular contracture using these products, particularly with breast reconstruction.

Answer: Nothing will totally eliminate capsular contracture There have been some evidence especially in the reconstructed breast that Alloderm decreases the incidence of capsular contracture. Because it is very expensive it is used less in the cosmetic realm

Answer: Does alloderm and strattice help eliminate capsular contracture? Yes... Capsular contraction can be a very frustrating complication for both patients and surgeons. In my practice, I have found the most success treating these difficult problems utilizing techniques such as sub muscular pocket conversion (if relevant), capsulectomy, use of fresh implants (I am not convinced that there is a difference with smooth versus textured implants as long as the breast implants are in the sub muscular position), and the use of acellular dermal matrix. Acellular dermal matrix is a biologic implant that carries the ability to become integrated into native tissue. It is made by taking a full thickness section of skin from a donor source (his human, porcine, or bovine in origin). I hope this helps.
