Wondering if this dermabond system is being used on abdominoplasties?
I like to use Dermabond (or other skin "glues") as an additional layer over the top of a closed incision for certain surgeries including abdominoplasty. I don't use it instead of a final layer of sutures, though - it's more like a dressing over the incision.
Yes, Prineo is frequently used on tummy tuck incisions. It works great and I believe helps patients get nicer scars. I allow patients to start showering after the drains come out and the Prineo stays on for about 3-4 weeks. A small percentage of patients will have allergic reactions to the tape so watch for any severe itching and rash,
