Abstract
The authors recommend using progressive tension sutures in abdominoplasty procedures. This suture technique not only eliminates dead space but also securely advances the flap with incremental tension transferred from the skin closure incision to the superficial fascial system. (Aesthetic Surg J 2002;22:475-476.).
