DermACELL acellular dermal matrix (D-ADM) is the trade name of LifeNet Health's acellular dermal matrix (ADM). LifeNet Health will remove the basement membrane from the D-ADM and this product will be compared to FlexHD® Pliable, which does not include a basement membrane in order to demonstrate that D-ADM without a basement membrane is not inferior to FlexHD in the frequency of significant side effects that result from breast implants. This is a post market trial that is comparing two ADM products with a known safety profile. The D-ADM without a basement membrane is being prepared specifically for this UVA evaluation. Removal of the basement membrane by the manufacturer is considered minimal manipulation. D-ADM without a basement membrane will be considered a human cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based product (HCT/P) and is eligible for marketing immediately within the US, if desired by LifeNet Health (LNH). Additionally, the applications of the products are indicated. Therefore, the trial is not in support of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE).
Prior to surgery, the registered subject will be randomized to receive the D-ADM without the basement membrane or the comparator, FlexHD Pliable. The surgeon and the patient will be blinded to the product group. The patient will receive the ADM at the time of placement of the tissue expander. After a period of tissue expansion, the patient will have the expander-implant exchange. During this surgery, there will be 3 punch biopsies taken in 3 different locations: native breast tissue, center of the ADM, and the border of the ADM and subject's breast tissue. These specimens will be analyzed to estimate differences in immunologic and inflammatory response for each ADM product.
The patient will follow up with the surgeon at 1-3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months post implant exchange. At these visits, the surgeon will assess for any adverse events and this information will be collected for research purposes. The patient will be asked to complete the reconstruction module of the Breast-Q at the baseline visit and 6 and 12 months to assess quality of life and patient satisfaction.

| Red breast syndrome | Estimate the frequency of red breast syndrome among participants on each arm | 12 months |
| QOL | Determine patient's quality of life and satisfaction with the reconstruction process. Assessment will be done with the standardized Breast-Q Reconstruction Module. | 12 months |
| Infection | Estimate the frequency and degree of infection among patients on each study arm. Infections will be identified by the surgeon and determined to be major or minor. In addition to this, the need for IV s. oral antibiotics and/or further surgery will be used as a measure of degree of infection. | 12 months |
| Histological Assessment | Estimate the differences in immunologic and inflammatory responses on each study arm by histological assessment of the capsular and ADM biopsies, including quantity of inflammatory cells, macrophages, and migration/differentiation of myelofibroblasts. | Day 1 |
