The absence of basement membrane in overlapped acellular dermal matrix promotes tissue integration in implant-based breast reconstruction

Key Points

• The aim is to explore how the absence of a basement membrane in acellular dermal matrix affects tissue integration and outcomes in breast reconstruction.
• Examined the impact of minimized basement membrane in overlapped acellular dermal matrix on tissue integration.
• Evaluated long-term volume retention in implant-based breast reconstruction.
• Assessed patient satisfaction related to the reconstruction outcomes.
• Enhanced tissue integration observed with minimized basement membrane.
• Improved long-term volume retention noted.
• Increased patient satisfaction reported with better aesthetic outcomes.
