About

the study is comparing the results of aesthetic surgery wound closure by a single layer versus the traditional multi-layer closure as regards the wound healing time, local wound complications, and the scar formed.

Full description

The study puts in comparison the surgical wound closure of aesthetic procedures by single layer sutures technique, involving part of the subcutaneous tissue and the subdermal layer, with the multi-layer traditional closure, which involves subcutaneous layer closure by one or two raws of sutures and skin closure with any type of suturing techniques, then to evaluate the wound healing time, local wound complications, and the scar formed.

Enrollment: 200 patients
