Surgical glue does not mean surgery without sutures.

Surgical glue does not mean surgery without sutures.

In plastic surgery, it can be a great ally in closing and protecting certain areas, but its use depends on the region, the tension on the skin, and the type of tissue that needs to be repaired.

In some cases, it can help protect the scar and replace the dressing. However, in areas such as the umbilical scar and the face, sutures may still offer more precision and safety in closure.

The technique chosen is part of an individual plan, always focusing on safety and scar quality.
