Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The AeroForm Patient Controlled Tissue Expander is a breast tissue expander implanted following mastectomy and activated by remote control to release small doses of carbon dioxide from an internal reservoir to fill and inflate the expander.
A saline tissue expander is a breast tissue expander which is implanted following mastectomy and inflated over time using needle injections to fill and inflate the expander with saline.
