LifeCell Tissue Matrices: advantages for women considering device (implant) breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

For many patients, preparing to have breast reconstruction after a mastectomy can be a difficult and emotional experience. You may feel anxious about having another surgery, worried about possible complications, and concerned about the way you will look and feel after the procedure is completed.
LifeCell Tissue Matrices offer a solution for the limitations of other tissue expander (TE)/implant techniques.

Over the last several decades, in an effort to achieve better aesthetic results for their patients, surgeons have increasingly switched from full muscle coverage to partial muscle coverage techniques for breast reconstruction procedures. Full muscle coverage has a number of benefits, but it also has numerous limitations. Over time, some surgeons migrated to partial muscle coverage for many of their patients because it provided a number of benefits that directly answered the limitations of full muscle coverage. Although partial muscle coverage provided many new benefits, it came with a host of limitations all its own.

LifeCell Tissue Matrices help Dr. Kapp attain optimum aesthetic outcomes for his patients without an increased risk of complications.

LifeCell Tissue Matrices:

  • Provide an additional layer of tissue that may help hide implant visibility
  • Provide additional tissue creating a hammock that allows for a natural looking breast
  • Help control the location of the implant and to define the breast fold
