Hemostatic nets…to use or not to use - that is the question🤔
Today I saw my beautiful patient who is 5 months out from her deep plane facelift with hemostatic net sutures used during recovery. Hemostatic nets are used to compress the tissue and remove the need for drains after surgery. I find them especially helpful in procedures where I resect the submandibular glands because they help prevent fluid accumulation in the area of the resection.
I use clear, absorbable sutures as opposed to permanent black ones for a less daunting appearance and so that they will dissolve if any remain after removal.
She couldn’t even feel the net before it was removed about 3 days after her procedure. There are no residual marks after the sutures are removed🔥
Hemostatic nets allow for a fast, drainless recovery with contoured, natural results!! 🤩
