Is Alloderm in lips safe - what are the pros & cons?

October 30, 2022
Asked By:posh_hills_123 in Sanger, California

Hello, I am seeking long-term lip augmentation. HA products do not work for me because i metabolize them too fast. I have had a dermal fat graft. It worked to some extent. What are the pros and cons of using strips of alloderm in lips? Is it dangerous in any way? Why is it not used commonly by plastic surgeons? Thank you very much for your time and help.

I had an augmentation with alloderm sling and implant. I am still uncomfortable . How long before that stops?
Karl William Schwarz, MD says:

You are probably sore from the sutures that were placed into the lining on top of your ribs and that is unfortunately really painful. There is just no other tissue that is as strong to hold the alloderm but it has been my experience that the pain should resolve in under 3 months.

Does AlloDerm and Strattice help eliminate capsular contracture?
Karl William Schwarz, MD says:

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.
