Periareolar Interlocking Technique Final Suturing and Post-operative Assessment

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video details a surgical procedure for addressing a peri-areolar defect by using interrupted 4-0 dermal sutures and a Teflon suture with an interlocking technique. The Teflon suture, swedged onto a Keith needle, is praised for its strength and ease of use in closing the defect by dividing it into eight segments. The technique prevents teardrop deformities and enhances the aesthetic appearance of the breast. Additionally, a barbed suture aids in maintaining incision stability, improving scar quality. The procedure ensures symmetry and achieves a desirable breast reduction and aesthetic shape.
