Abstract
Objective: To evaluate recent progress and clinical applications of advanced biomaterials in plastic surgery, exploring the benefits, challenges, and implications for surgical practice. Methods: Integrative review conducted with a complete analysis of 16 articles in the English language, published between 2023 and 2024, which address the use of different advanced biomaterials used in surgical procedures, seeking to verify the improvement of clinical and aesthetic results. Results: Advances in tissue reconstruction and wound treatment have been highlighted, with emphasis on the effectiveness of 3D-printed implants, flap transplantation, and continuous infusion of vancomycin. Innovative materials, such as bioinks and bilayer membranes, showed good biocompatibility and potential for tissue regeneration. Smart dressings and 3D bioprinting also stand out, despite still facing challenges. Overall, these innovations point to significant improvements in reconstructive surgery and regenerative medicine. Final considerations: These innovations in biomaterials offer a relevant benefit in plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery and post-operative improvement, but more clinical trials of different biomaterials are needed before a comprehensive application.
