Selection guidance
Choosing sutures for body-contouring procedures
Body-contouring procedures can involve longer incisions, multiple tissue layers and areas exposed to varying degrees of tension. Suture selection should consider tissue depth, wound location, required support and the expected rate of healing.
Precision Dermal supplies surgical sutures in a range of materials, sizes and needle configurations for professional layered closure, deep tissue approximation and skin closure.
Absorption Profile
Match the rate of strength loss and absorption to the expected healing time of the tissue.
Suture Construction
Consider monofilament or braided construction according to tissue passage, handling and knot requirements.
Needle Configuration
Select a needle point, curvature and length appropriate for the tissue layer and available surgical access.
Surgical applications

Closure considerations
Sutures for layered and longer-incision closure
Layered closure allows different tissue planes to be approximated according to their individual support requirements. Deeper layers may require materials offering appropriate tensile support, while superficial closure may prioritise controlled skin approximation.
The selected suture should be compatible with the tissue, procedural technique and planned postoperative management. Individual product specifications should always be reviewed.
Deep Closure
Materials selected to provide appropriate support across deeper tissue layers during healing.
Dermal Closure
Sutures for controlled approximation of dermal and subcutaneous tissue layers.
Skin Closure
Fine closure options selected for precise approximation across longer skin incisions.
Multiple Lengths
Suture lengths and configurations suitable for continuous, interrupted and layered techniques.

Body Contouring Suture FAQs
Helpful information about selecting surgical sutures for extensive, layered and longer-incision wound closure.
01 Which sutures are commonly considered for body contouring?
A combination of absorbable and non-absorbable sutures may be
considered depending on the tissue layer, wound tension, closure
technique and required duration of support. Selection should be
made by the treating clinician.
02 Why is layered closure used in body-contouring procedures?
Layered closure allows deeper and superficial tissues to be
approximated separately according to their support requirements.
The technique and products used depend on the procedure and
clinician’s professional judgement.
03 Should absorbable sutures be used for deep closure?
Absorbable sutures are frequently considered for internal and
buried closure where later removal is undesirable. The material’s
tensile-support and absorption profile should be matched to the
expected tissue-healing period.
04 How should suture size and needle configuration be selected?
Selection should consider tissue density, wound tension, tissue
depth, available access and the intended closure technique. Always
review the individual product specification before use.
05 Are monofilament or braided sutures more suitable?
Monofilament sutures offer smooth tissue passage and relatively
low surface drag. Braided sutures may offer flexible handling and
dependable knot characteristics. Suitability depends on the
tissue and procedure.
06 Can these sutures be used for surgical training?
Product suitability varies. Precision Dermal also supplies
dedicated practice sutures, silicone pads and training products
for skills development outside clinical use.
