Alloderm for Rhinoplasties

Skin grafting is a very useful medical advancement. However, it has typically required that a person have skin removed from part of his or her body and attached to a place where the skin is needed for one reason or another. One problem had been that this always required two sites on the body to be operated on. The creation of the acellular dermal matrix, like Alloderm, solves the problem of having to harvest skin. This, however, comes with a price.

Alloderm can result in numerous complications, depending on the procedure for which it is used. In rhinoplasty, as with other grafting, the risk of rejection or infection is especially troubling. When someone is hurt because a pharmaceutical product such as Alloderm fails to perform as advertised, the company needs to be held accountable.

Thin Skin

When a person undergoes reconstructive or cosmetic surgery on the nose, one difficulty facing surgeons is the thinness of the skin. If there is not enough skin present, concluding the surgery by closing the wound can be difficult. Alloderm has been used to solve this difficulty. Previously, other products were used to try and cultivate the growth of skin, but they would deteriorate too quickly. Whereas Alloderm solves the problem created by these “fillers,” there is a risk of the area becoming infected, causing pain and perhaps scarring, or even necessitating additional surgery.
