Tissue Expansion
Growing Extra Skin for Reconstruction
Tissue expansion enables the body to "grow" extra skin for use in reconstructing almost any part of the body.
What should I expect during a consultation for tissue expansion?
During your initial consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your condition. Your age, skin condition, medical history and other factors will help your surgeon determine if you'll benefit from tissue expansion.
Your flexibility and tolerance for the inconvenience associated with this procedure will help you determine if you want to pursue it. Before proceeding with tissue expansion, discuss your expectations and your understanding of it with your surgeon.
