Because he also uses surgical glue, he only puts in half as many stitches as he would need for a conventional eyelift or facelift. That speeds up the surgery. He layers Dermabond on top of the stitches. It will dry in about two minutes and tightly seal the wound. It keeps the wound clean.
Patients can resume normal activities right after surgery.
They can wash or shower as they please. The protective adhesive falls off in 7 to 10 days, taking the stitches with it. That was a big plus for Nancy Dedic, who had an eyelid lift. Because I don't have to be poked and stitched. It's so much easier.
