Abstract
Acellular dermal matrix has enhanced implant-based reconstruction and remains useful in immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction. It is associated, however, with higher rates of postoperative seroma and infection. Careful patient selection, choice of tissue expander/implant volume, and postoperative management are warranted to optimize overall reconstructive outcome.
