Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are biotechnologically derived tissues that have become a cornerstone of implant-based breast reconstruction over the last 2 decades. Their use in both dual-plane and prepectoral approaches have provided greater soft tissue coverage and implant support with good cosmetic outcomes and low rates of complication. This review describes the evolution of notable ADM-assisted surgical techniques that have advanced the field and broadened implant-based reconstructive options.
