The Challenge:
Excessive closure tension can diminish the beauty and confidence expected from surgery due to increased risk of:
Dehiscence
Infection
Scarring
34 patients underwent bilateral breast reduction by a single surgeon. 17 received standard suture closure, and 17 received standard closure plus a single Interlock device placed on the lower part of the vertical incision.
