Outcomes Analysis of Textured Versus Smooth Tissue Expanders in Breast Reconstruction

Conclusions With equivocal safety profiles and no demonstrated risk in BIA-ALCL associated with STEs, this study supports the safety of using STEs compared with textured tissue expanders in prosthesis-based breast reconstruction with the advantage in preventing BIA-ALCL and concludes that there is no role for textured breast expanders.
