简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Dermabond with non-absorbable sutures in skin closure after brow ptosis surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- if Dermabond provides equivalent wound healing compared to conventional non-absorbable skin suture techniques
- if Dermabond provides equivalent scar appearance compared to conventional non-absorbable suture techniques
- if Dermabond results in equivalent complication rates compared to conventional non-absorbable suture techniques Participants will have be randomly selected to have either Dermabond or non-absorbable suture closure methods. Scar analysis and both participant and provider surveys will be performed to assess the differences between groups, if any.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With Complications
时间窗: 6 weeks
Complications of both Dermabond and non-absorbable sutures to include dehiscence and infection
Scar Appearance
时间窗: 6 weeks
Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale filled out by both patient and provider at both postoperative visits of both Dermabond and non-absorbable sutures. This survey is scaled from 0-10, with 0 being normal skin and 10 being very different skin. Lower scores are desired on this survey.
