Comparison of Different Acellular Dermal Matrix in Breast Reconstruction: A Skin-to-Skin Study.

Background: Since the early 2000s, acellular dermal matrix has been a popular adjunct to prepectoral breast reconstruction to enhance outcomes.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in the postoperative course of 2 standard acellular dermal matrix products, AlloDerm SELECT Ready To Use and DermACELL.

Methods: A prospective, patient-blind study of patients undergoing bilateral nipple and/or skin-sparing mastectomies with either tissue expander or silicone implant insertion between 2019 and 2022 were selected for this study.

Hotline to Helpline: Reducing On-call Demands.

Background: There is a growing societal trend in plastic surgery patients of viewing their medical care as a commodity product rather than as a healthcare service. Our four-provider private plastic surgery practice noticed this phenomenon through our patients' trend of overusing the emergency after-hours service call line. To affect this behavior, we designed a study educating patients on the emergency service call line's purpose and how to handle nonurgent issues independently.
