Two types of glue are available for use in surgery. One is similar to superglue and is used to close the incision. That glue can only close the skin. Other sutures must be applied to the deeper layers.The other type of glue is fibrin glue and it is used on the inside to help prevent bleeding and to close off open spaces left behind from the operation.In my experience a neat subcuticular closure makes for neater skin apposition than the superglue and is also absorbable. We usually use the fibrin glue during the case for the aforementioned reasons. Check with your plastic surgeon and discuss the preferred method in their practice.I hope this helps
Suturing of the muscle plication and closure of the wounds is performed with sutures. Some surgeons will apply surgical glue to the skin surface after complete closure.
