Surgical wounds and scars warrant a lot of care on part of the plastic surgeon and the patient and hence suturing the wounds properly is a very important part of the operation process.
If the scars are in proximity to the visible parts of the face in any face surgery procedure, it becomes crucial that the sutures used to hold the wound are quickly dissolvable and less prominent. For an eyelid surgery procedure like brow lift or a browplasty, the scars are generally placed in the hairline of the patient.
However, if the cosmetic surgery patient has a receding hairline or a broad forehead, surgeons make the incisions just above the eyebrows resulting in relatively visible scars. The use of BioGlue, a new development in surgical adhesives, could prove to be better at concealing these incisions.
CryoLife, the manufacturer of this sealant claims that it creates a mechanical seal that is flexible and is different from the inherent clotting mechanism of the patient. In a remarkably small amount of time (20-30 seconds) the seal is created and within 3 minutes it reaches its maximum bonding strength.
Most doctors won’t really tell you about the brand of sealant they use to fix your blepharoplasty or browplasty, but it’s good to know the options currently available. Suffice to say, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California is up-to-date with the latest in eyelid surgery and plastic surgery techniques and research.
