Decellularized, Whole Donor Nipple-Areola Complex Reconstruction Grafts
The goal of this study is to evaluate safety and healing time after nipple-areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction with the BioAesthetics' decellularized human nipple-areolar complex (dcl-hNAC) graft in patients who have had autologous breast reconstruction for breast cancer. Secondary objectives will be to assess patient satisfaction, patient well-being, patient self-esteem, patient body image, patient psychological well-being, nipple dimensions and sensitivity following NAC reconstruction surgery with the BioAesthetics' dcl-hNAC graft.
