 Placing the alloderm at the edge at the sternal edge of the pectoralis muscle may be a good option for Dr. Mathes' cases. Remember that the alloderm should be placed at the, at the IMF and the breast surgeon will violate the IMF on a regular basis. So you should be actually sewing the alloderm to the top of the flap, not to the chest wall. \\ Placing the alloderm at the edge at the sternal edge of the pectoralis muscle may be a good option for Dr. Mathes' cases.

-Hemostasis was first obtained. The base-width of the pocket was measured as 11 cm and a Mentor Artoura High Profile 300 cc tissue expander was chosen. A piece of alloderm was cut in the shape of the inferior aspect of the breast and sutured into place with 3-0 PDS interruped sutures. Next, a piece of alloderm was cut in the shape of the superior aspect of the breast and sutured into place with 3-0 PDS interrupted sutures. The tissue expander was then placed and the meridian, medial and lateral tabs sutured with 3-0 PDS interrupted sutures. The superior alloderm piece was draped over the inferior piece and the inferior piece was trimmed. The alloderm was than sutured together with 3-0 PDS interrupted sutures. A 15 french round drain was placed with the exit point in the lateral fold of the breast. The incision was closed with 3-0 monocryl deep dermal sutures followed by 4-0 monocryl running subcuticular sutures. The incision was dressed with benzoin and steri-strips along the direction of the incsion.+

 The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in a supine position.  Bilateral sequential compression devices were not placed because we needed to prep her whole leg.  All pressure points were well-padded.  Surgical timeout was performed.  We had marked her in the preoperative holding area for a thighplasty incision, which included a bucket-handle extension.  We made our medial incision, then dissected laterally to our lateral marks, dissecting down, leaving a layer of fat over the muscle and fascia.  Multiple large vessels were encountered, which had to be divided with medium and large clips.  For hemostasis, we used electrocautery.  We then reached our dissection line.  We were then able to mobilize our medial skin laterally and then mark the excision marks along the entire thigh.  In her more inferior left thigh, she had a very large amount of skin.  We were able to debulk this and get a satisfactory closure once we had marked it, and we did tailor-tacking-type technique and then excised the skin and then stapled it closed.  We then unstapled, irrigated, and hemostasis achieved with electrocautery.  We placed a drain distally and proximally sutured with a 3-0 nylon.  We then closed with deep 3-0 Monocryl and running 4-0 Monocryl, Mastisol, and Steri-Strips.  This was done bilaterally.  We removed approximately 6.5 pounds of tissue, including the left and right thighs.  This was sent to pathology for final analysis.  Dressings were applied.  The patient was extubated and brought to recovery in stable condition.\\ The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in a supine position.  Bilateral sequential compression devices were not placed because we needed to prep her whole leg.  All pressure points were well-padded.  Surgical timeout was performed.  We had marked her in the preoperative holding area for a thighplasty incision, which included a bucket-handle extension.  We made our medial incision, then dissected laterally to our lateral marks, dissecting down, leaving a layer of fat over the muscle and fascia.  Multiple large vessels were encountered, which had to be divided with medium and large clips.  For hemostasis, we used electrocautery.  We then reached our dissection line.  We were then able to mobilize our medial skin laterally and then mark the excision marks along the entire thigh.  In her more inferior left thigh, she had a very large amount of skin.  We were able to debulk this and get a satisfactory closure once we had marked it, and we did tailor-tacking-type technique and then excised the skin and then stapled it closed.  We then unstapled, irrigated, and hemostasis achieved with electrocautery.  We placed a drain distally and proximally sutured with a 3-0 nylon.  We then closed with deep 3-0 Monocryl and running 4-0 Monocryl, Mastisol, and Steri-Strips.  This was done bilaterally.  We removed approximately 6.5 pounds of tissue, including the left and right thighs.  This was sent to pathology for final analysis.  Dressings were applied.  The patient was extubated and brought to recovery in stable condition.\\
