What Is Alloderm And How Is It Used?
Alloderm is a non-cellular human dermis taken from an organ donor and treated with FDA-approved treatments. Alloderm has been used for over 30 years in many regions of the body for cosmetic and non-cosmetic surgeries and has stood the test of time with safety and lack of disease transmission. Some of it will absorb with time but some of it does remain. It has been used to line the mouth in cancer reconstruction and has been used as a skin replacement in burn victims. It has been used in millions of cases. Dr. Rizk has not encountered infection with Alloderm in over two thousand cases of its use. It helps to thicken the skin and camouflage graft edges.
