Acellular Dermal Matrices in Breast Augmentation

G. Patrick Maxwell, MD

In this four-part interactive video from the 45th Annual Baker Gordon Symposium on Cosmetic Surgery, held February 10–12, 2011, in Miami, Florida, G. Patrick Maxwell demonstrates the use of acellular dermal matrix in reoperative breast surgery. The technical details of combining breast implant replacement, capsulectomy, and incorporating acellular dermal matrix to improve implant coverage as well as a matrix for tissue ingrowth and regeneration are delineated. This treatment algorithm allows for more control of postoperative breast contour and is a method to diminish recurrent capsular contracture.
