- A randomized trial of 49 women found no significant difference in scar appearance or satisfaction between Dermabond and Steri-Strips after breast reduction.
- Both dressings yielded equivalent cosmetic and functional outcomes across all follow-up periods up to six months.
- Median patient satisfaction scores were 10 for both closure methods, with comparable surgeon and spectrophotometric assessments.
- Dermabond may be preferable for patients with sensitive skin or poor tolerance to adhesive tapes.
- Cost differences—approximately 40 euro for Dermabond versus 10 euro for Steri-Strips—may influence clinical decision-making.
