    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Tissue Engineering
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Silicone expanders are widely used in reconstructive surgery.
    • Understanding tissue response to expansion is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
    • Quantitative data on tissue changes post-expansion is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantitatively analyze the thickness of expanded skin and soft tissues.
    • To illustrate histopathologic and ultrastructural changes in expanded tissues.
    • To provide data on tissue response following silicone expander procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Statistical analysis of data from 19 patients.
    • Quantitative analysis of skin and soft tissue thickness.
    • Histopathologic and ultrastructural examination of tissue samples.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed statistical data on tissue thickness changes.
    • Illustrations of histopathologic alterations.
    • Documentation of ultrastructural modifications at various tissue depths.

    Conclusions:

    • Silicone expander procedures induce measurable changes in tissue thickness.
    • Histopathologic and ultrastructural analyses reveal specific tissue responses.
    • The findings contribute to the understanding of tissue behavior during expansion.
