What is Acellular dermal matrix? Could that help if I have capsular contracture and am considering revision surgery? It is only for one breast under the muscle.

Answer: Capsular contracture The correct sequence in "fixing" a capsular contracture is as follows: 1- Remove the entire capsule and the implant. 2- If possible, change the pocket (for example, from over the muscle to under the muscle) 3- Place and ADM By doing the above steps, the recurrence rate is the lowest and you have a good chance of not needing multiple revision surgeries.

Answer: ADM and capsular contracture An acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is a biologic material that is implanted into your body and incorporates into your tissue. The most common sources of this material are human, bovine, or porcine. The tissue is washed/cleansed of cellular components from the donor, so it acts as a scaffolding for your tissues to grow into. It has a role in capsular contracture surgery as the rates of forming another contracture with an ADM have been shown to be less in some studies. ADMs are used a great deal in breast reconstruction but also have an important role in revision cosmetic breast surgery as well. Best advice would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience operating with ADM. Good luck!
