Alloderm arrives in 3x7cm sheets which is reconstituted in the operating room with
                    saline.  It is then cut into the appropriate size strips and inserted through tiny incisions,
                    several millimeters or less in length.  Our best results have been with lips, naso labial
                    lines, and localized deep furrows, especially at the side of the mouth or between the
                    eyebrows.

Length of procedure: One hour or more, depending on the nature of the individual case

Anesthesia: Local with sedation

Recovery: Several weeks to a few months

Duration of results last from one to two years.  It is non allergenic. Potential risks are infection, malplacement, exposure, scarring and bleeding, which can happen post surgically, but we have seen none of these in our practice.
