Skin graft support for breast reduction surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a small piece of your own skin as a graft can help support the breast tissue during a specific type of breast reduction surgery. It may lead to better healing and shape after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a breast lift procedure that uses your own breast tissue and fat to add fullness, with an internal support to help hold the lifted shape. It aims to improve sagging and restore a fuller, more youthful breast contour without implants.
This trial compares three methods for moving your own fat into the breast during breast surgery. It may help improve how well fat grafting works and how surgeons choose the best method for you.
This trial studies whether a lab-made skin graft (called ADM) used with tissue expanders can improve breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help people who are planning a specific two-step implant reconstruction approach.
This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
This trial compares two types of mastectomy (with skin and nipple options) and implant reconstruction to see which gives better cosmetic results, comfort, and satisfaction. You may help doctors learn which approach leads to a better quality of life after surgery.
This trial tests whether dermabrasion (a skin-smoothing technique) can improve the appearance of scars from free flap surgery in the head and neck area. It may help make the reconstructed skin look more natural.
