Introducing a new medical method and innovative suture technique to reduce scars in central lip lift medical surgery

Abstract

"The central lip lift surgery with a new suture technique called; continuous locking suture in three cases is reported in this article. In this novel method, we used a 5.0 chromic suture by applying a 30-degree angle of the entrance to the skin semi-deeply. We start suturing at the middle of the wound,3-4 mm from the edges of the skin. The needle should be way out at the exact point of entrance, and this process is repeated to reach out to the two sides of the wound. More than 90% of patients (in more than 100 cases) were satisfied with the cosmetic results. Moreover, 90% of cases did not demonstrate any scar after three months without laser or reconstructive ointments. We evaluate many patients who undergo central lip lift surgery with this novel technique, and the scar problem was resolved in more than 90 % of cases with no supportive treatment."
