Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed 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.

Eligibility Criteria
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.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
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
