[The volume change of micronized acellular dermal matrix after injection].
OBJECTIVE
To explore a new injectable material.


METHODS
Micronized swine acellular dermal matrix was injected into the ear of rabbits. The augmentation was observed and measured with pathological and transmission electron microscopic technique.


RESULTS
There were fibroblasts and capillaries in the injected material. The absorption rate of injected acellular dermal matrix was 26.93% in the experimental group at 48 weeks after injection.


CONCLUSIONS
The acellular dermal matrix is an ideal injectable material for lower absorption and easy usage.
