Efficacy of Fibrin Sealant in Submental Liposuction: A Prospective Randomized Study.

Background: The incidence rate of submental liposuction has been increasing in recent years. Although this procedure is relatively simple, serious complications, including fatalities, have been reported, primarily owing to intraoperative and postoperative bleeding.

Methods: To enhance the safety of liposuction, we examined the efficacy of Beriplast® P (CSL Behring, Melbourne, Australia), a physiological tissue adhesive fibrin sealant, in reducing postoperative swelling.
