Skin graft support for breast reduction surgery
Part of Skin, 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.

This trial tests a new method to lift and add fullness to sagging breasts using your own breast tissue and fat. It may be an option if you have moderate sagging, small to moderate breasts, and are in good health.
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 a special supportive material called acellular dermal matrix in women having two-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal is to learn how well it works when the implant is placed directly under the skin, over the chest muscle.
