Tissue expansion has revolutionised the field of cosmetic surgery.Today large scars,Giant Nevi and many extensive skin leisions can be Excised and reconstructed with the adjacent skin to give a proper texture and colour match using tissue Expanders.The procedure is simple and involves expansion of the adjacent normal skin by inserting a baloon under the normal skin.This baloon is filled at regular intervals with saline,thus artificially expanding the overlying skin.The expansion may take several weeks.The choice and the shape of the expander depends on the extent of the lesion to be excised.
This procedure can be used for Scalp reconstruction,breast reconstruction,reconstruction following excision of giant nevi and a wide variety of reconstructive procedures.
Tissue expansion is a boon for Plastic and Cosmetic surgeons and it’s applications can provide rewarding results.
