The use of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) has become a useful adjunct to implant-based breast reconstruction and revision of the augmented breast. In both instances, the goal is replacement or reinforcement of thinned or missing tissues for implant support and control of the implant pocket. This article reviews the factors that contribute to periprosthetic tissue thinning, and the advantages and limitations of the use of ADMs for revision breast surgery and breast reconstruction. Proof of concept for the use of ADMs in the periprosthetic space is detailed from early clinical experience and histologic analysis documenting vascular ingrowth and cellular repopulation.
