This article is a review of cost considerations and outcomes pertaining to the use of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. The history of the use of ADMs in breast surgery and all case series describing outcomes and use of ADM in breast reconstructive and aesthetic surgery are reviewed. Weighted averages for clinically relevant outcomes for reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery are provided. Cost considerations of ADM use in breast surgery are described and as an example, a single institution's experience with implementation of ADM into a preexisting breast surgery program, is used.
