I have a couple of questions.
Do the inner anchoring stitches take longer to heal than the dissolving outer ones?
Why do incisions blow apart/separate on TL and what are the usual methods of healing and how long can that take?
Thanks.

Answer: Medial thigh lift
Medial thigh lift where the incision is in the grion area are under tension. There are few stitches that has to be anchored to the deep fascia or the periostium of the pubis, under the labia, to hold the scar in position and prevent it from migration and dehescence. They can not hold and pull on the labia, or descend to the upper thigh.These sutures are permanent sutures the rest of the sutures are disolving long term. The wounds need care constatntly, clean dry and apply antibiotic cream.
These scar can be extended to lift the anterior and lateral thigh
