October 30, 2007 In a study that was recently conducted by two California-based plastic surgeons, the benefits of fibrin glue when used during facial surgery were brought to light. The study reportedly gives the most comprehensive assessment of the use of fibrin glue when applied during facelift surgery. Surgeons Study Glue Dr. Davis B. Nguyen and Dr. Frank M. Kamer conducted a study in which they analyzed one hundred of their patients who opted to use the fibrin glue during surgery, over the duration of a year. Another one hundred patients who had facelift surgery without the use of the glue were also analyzed over a year. In conclusion, the fibrin glue proved to be more beneficial and those who used it had shorter recovery time and better healing. How Glue is Applied During Surgery During facelift surgery, the fibrin glue is normally applied before the external flap of skin is resealed. This helps to prevent the use of drainage tubes during post-surgery. Fibrin glue has been proven to reduce the possibility of severe complications from occurring like hematoma and seroma. “With this technique, my patients benefit from shorter recovery periods, fewer complications, and superior surgical outcomes,” stated Dr. Davis Nguyen.
