BioAesthetics is a small biotechnology company based in Durham, North Carolina, founded in 2015 as a Tulane University spin-out with the aim of expanding reconstructive options for breast cancer patients after mastectomy. It is developing a tissue-engineered nipple-areolar complex graft that surgeons can use off the shelf during breast reconstruction; the graft is acellular and is designed to be implanted onto the reconstructed breast, with the body’s tissues regenerating the nipple-areolar area around it. The product is patent-pending and in the pre-clinical stage, and its primary customers are plastic and reconstructive surgeons and their patients undergoing reconstruction after mastectomy. 

BioAesthetics operates within the biotechnology research sector, focusing on biomaterials for reconstructive medicine. A notable recent development is the appointment of Juliana Blum, Ph.D., as chief executive officer in September 2024. The company’s activities center on advancing nipple reconstruction options within breast reconstruction procedures.
