How many layers of sutures are recommended for an abdominoplasty? I’ve had a few consultations and different surgeons had different recommendations. One has said they only do 1 layer of stitching, this doesn’t seem very substantial? What is considered best practice? I’m referring to the muscle repair not the external incision.
