1. A method for forming an allograft hybrid bilayer tissue form, comprising the steps of: (1) providing a donor tissue including a skin having (a) an epidermis; (b) a dermis underlying the epidermis, the dermis including a papillary dermis adjacent the epidermis, a reticular dermis distal to the epidermis, and a papillary-reticular dermis interface between the papillary dermis and reticular dermis; and (c) at least a portion of a hypodermis adipose tissue underlying the reticular dermis of (b) the dermis; (2) making a cut into the reticular dermis at a location proximate the hypodermis, and along a plane substantially parallel to the papillary-reticular dermis interface; and (3) removing and retaining at least a portion of the hypodermis adipose tissue and a portion of the reticular dermis attached to the hypodermis adipose tissue to form said allograft hybrid bilayer tissue form such that said allograft hybrid bilayer tissue form includes both a dermal side which is formed by the portion of the reticular dermis, and an adipose side which is formed by said at least a portion of the hypodermis adipose tissue.
