Tissue Expanders: Regrow Natural Skin Safely & Effectively

What Are Tissue Expanders?

Tissue expanders are specialized medical devices used by plastic surgeons to regenerate natural skin. They are widely employed for cosmetic enhancements as well as reconstructive surgery after trauma, burns, or major surgeries. This technique allows the creation of additional skin that closely matches the original in color, texture, thickness, and quality.

At Olmec Cosmetic Surgery, expert surgeons like Dr. Narendra Kaushik use tissue expanders to achieve excellent functional and aesthetic results.

How Tissue Expanders Work

Tissue expanders work through controlled mechanical overstretch, gradually expanding the skin over time. This creates a sufficient amount of new skin tissue, which can be used for:

• Reconstruction after trauma or burns
• Correction of post-surgical defects
• Cosmetic procedures such as breast reconstruction or lift
• Lowering the hairline with natural skin

The newly grown skin is almost identical to natural skin in appearance and function.

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Insertion of the tissue expander beneath the targeted area (e.g., behind chest muscle for breast reconstruction)
2. Gradual filling of the expander with saline over multiple sessions
3. Monitoring skin growth, quality, and elasticity
4. Replacement of expander with permanent implant or surgical reconstruction once enough tissue is generated

Benefits of Using Tissue Expanders

• Minimal scarring and natural appearance
• Faster healing compared to other reconstructive methods
• Reduced pain and discomfort during recovery
