The primary goal of closing surgical skin and soft tissue incisions is to restore the skin’s natural appearance as closely as possible. In head and neck surgery, several factors have influence such as the performance of suture materials, including the quality of the tissue, the presence of sweat and the specific microbiota of the area. These factors can significantly impact the healing process and the final cosmetic result. Achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes in this region is crucial, as it can profoundly affect patient satisfaction and overall quality of life.
