Do Alloderm Grafts Work?
According to the surgeons that use them, yes. They’re implanted in exactly the same manner as dermal grafts. A circumferential incision is made just behind the glans, the penile skin is peeled back and the grafts are laid over the corpus cavernosa. The only difference is that they’re much thinner (no epidermis, no fat layer) and therefore multiple layers have to be applied to achieve the same kind of bulk. This is problematic in two ways. First, AlloDerm grafts are expensive and so multiple applications are multiply so; secondly, there is a thought that stacked layers cannot be re-colonized by new cells quickly enough before the protein scaffolding breaks down and is re-absorbed. By this reasoning, re-absorption would likely be uneven and lead to the same kind of lumpy dick as fat injection. Surgeons who use AlloDerm grafts for girth enhancement say this isn’t the case, but no long term follow-up studies have been done, so no one really knows. The BIG upside to AlloDerm grafts is that
