Abstract:
Cyanoacrylate and fibrin tissue adhesives can aid the facial plastic surgeon performing surgery in the outpatient setting. Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate is ideal for superficial skin closure and eliminates the need for suture removal. Subcutaneous sutures are needed in most cases to provide the best cosmetic outcomes. Fibrin tissue adhesives can be used to aid in attaining hemostasis or to seal or fixate tissues. Cyanoacrylate and fibrin-based adhesives can simplify office-based facial plastic surgery.
