About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • all cases presented for different aesthetic surgery procedures e.g different breast contouring procedures, surgical trunk contouring procedures, Brachioplasty, and thigh lifting. No gender discrimination, age between 16-60 years.

Exclusion criteria

  • we excluded cases in age groups beyond that designed for the study, patients with co-morbid conditions that may affect the results of wound healing e.g Diabetics. Active smokers, trauma patients, or patients that will undergo primary or secondary reconstructive procedures.

Treatment and study plan

surgical wound suturing

Procedure

single layer surgical wound suturing in comparison with the traditional multi-layer wound suturing

Other names: single layer wound closure

Primary outcomes

  1. single layer closure is as efficient and reliable as the multi-layer closure

    Time frame: 6 months follow up post-surgical

    single layer surgical wound closure is a reliable and efficient method as the traditional multi-layer closure technique giving the same results and have the same complication rate as the traditional suturing techniques
