Tissue expansion is a technique used by plastic and restorative surgeons to cause the body to grow additional skin, bone or other tissues.

Tissue expansion has also been used for the technique of foreskin restoration, which is usually non-surgical and applies tension externally using specialized devices to replace circumcised tissues with new cells.

Tissue growth due to skin expansion can be modeled as anisotropic surface area growth as described by the following equations:

Tissue expansion is a common technique used for breast reconstruction.

These treatments delays the tissue expansion process by approximately four to eight weeks. Tissue expanders have silicone outer shells and either an internal valve or external port to allow for saline fluid injections.

Dr. Stephen Badylak, a Research Professor in the Department of Surgery and director of Tissue Engineering at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, has developed a process which involves scraping cells from the lining of a pig's bladder, decellularizing ( removing cells to leave a clean extracellular structure ) the tissue and then drying it to become a sheet or a powder.

Tissue engineering so far has only been modestly successful as the understanding of, and ability to artificially engineer, complete organ structures is still in its early days.
