Then Vs. Now in Breast Reconstruction
Traditional Implants
•	Limited size, shape, and texture options
•	Requires extensive tissue manipulation
•	Risk of capsular contracture (scarring)
•	Asymmetry & unnatural texture can be more common with pre-fabricated silicone implants
3D Bio-printed Implants
•	Customized for ideal size, shape, and texture
•	Minimally invasive procedure
•	Improved tissue integration with patient’s own cells
Surgeons can stay informed about the latest advancements in this exciting frontier of hope by following reputable medical journals and attending conferences focused on bioprinting and regenerative medicine.
