At the Plastic Surgery Specialists of NJ, Dr. Ferraro has expanded the use and indications of alloderm for breast reconstruction.

The Plastic Surgery Specialist of New Jersey located in Ridgewood, NJ has noticed an increased amount of patients receiving radiation before and after mastectomy. Radiation is also associated with partial mastectomy. Alloderm can be indicated in these patients and can assist with healing by adding a better vascular supply to the tissues.

Alloderm is placed around the implant or tissue expander. Alloderm can also be place at the bottom portion of the reconstruction for a better cosmetic outcome.

The Plastic Surgery Specialist of NJ and Dr. Ferraro have kept all patients informed of the expanding use of Alloderm and the possible indications after mastectomy.
