Abstract

Learning objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Describe the types, structural characteristics, and clinical indications for biologic matrices and synthetic meshes used in breast aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. 2. Evaluate the evidence on clinical outcomes, complication profiles, and aesthetic results associated with each material. 3. Apply key principles of material selection based on patient-specific factors, procedural context, and surgical goals.

Summary: This article reviews the role of biologic matrices and synthetic meshes in breast aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. It discusses material composition, surgical applications, and emerging roles in aesthetic operations such as augmentation, mastopexy, and reduction. The authors compare complication rates, capsular contracture prevention, and aesthetic outcomes associated with each material type, highlighting differences in safety, cost-effectiveness, and long-term performance. Evidence-based data are presented to guide decision-making and improve patient outcomes, while acknowledging current limitations in the literature and opportunities for further investigation.

期刊介绍： For more than 70 years Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® has been the one consistently excellent reference for every specialist who uses plastic surgery techniques or works in conjunction with a plastic surgeon. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® , the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, is a benefit of Society membership, and is also available on a subscription basis. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® brings subscribers up-to-the-minute reports on the latest techniques and follow-up for all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including breast reconstruction, experimental studies, maxillofacial reconstruction, hand and microsurgery, burn repair, cosmetic surgery, as well as news on medicolegal issues. The cosmetic section provides expanded coverage on new procedures and techniques and offers more cosmetic-specific content than any other journal. All subscribers enjoy full access to the Journal''s website, which features broadcast quality videos of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, podcasts, comprehensive article archives dating to 1946, and additional benefits offered by the newly-redesigned website.
