Dr. Kleto has created exquisite results using the acellular dermal matrix in his breast reconstruction procedures. The acellular dermal matrix is a uniquely prepared tissue that has been treated to eliminate cellular components that can result in rejection. Additionally, this process prevents the risk of viral infections in the replacement tissue.
Not only are Dr. Kleto’s breast reconstructions aesthetically balanced and beautiful, the use of the acellular dermal matrix in his procedures offers other important benefits, such as:
- Serves as a scaffold, which creates a better contour and eliminates the risk of scarring around the breast implant
- Provides better breast implant coverage
- Nearly eliminates the risk of capsular contracture
In many cases, Dr. Kleto is able to perform breast reconstruction the same day the mastectomy is performed by a general surgeon, although every situation is different. He will work closely with you and your general surgeon to design a treatment plan that works best for you and your unique needs.
