Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to evaluate safety and healing time after nipple-areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction with the BioAesthetics' decellularized human nipple-areolar complex (dcl-hNAC) graft in patients who have had autologous breast reconstruction for breast cancer. Secondary objectives will be to assess patient satisfaction, patient well-being, patient self-esteem, patient body image, patient psychological well-being, nipple dimensions and sensitivity following NAC reconstruction surgery with the BioAesthetics' dcl-hNAC graft.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: NACgraft patients
uni- or bilateral engraftment surgery will be performed
 Device: NACgraft
Patients requiring reconstruction of their nipple and areola have a NACgraft surgically implanted on their breasts. A NACgraft is a novel decellularized cadaveric implant derived from human nipples.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to healing of implanted NACgraft [ Time Frame: 14 months ]
    Time to healing for each NACgraft will be as the first weekly visit at which the surgeon and central reviewer deem the graft >99% epithelialized. This measurement will be reported as the number of weeks to healing. Degree of healing will be based on visual assessment by the surgeon and central reviewer with the following metrics on a visual analog scale (VAS): epithelialization (0-100%); granulation (0-100%); overall healing (0-100%). Photographs will be taken using a standardized 3d imaging device, stored and transmitted securely to a central reviewer for independent review. Time to complete healing will be defined as the first visit at which the surgeon and independent reviewer determine that there is >99% epithelialization of the graft.
