Comparing wound treatments after breast reduction surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two different wound-closure treatments on the vertical part of the scar after breast reduction surgery. It aims to see if one method helps the wound heal better and reduces the chance of the wound opening up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18 and 85 years old.

- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (ASA class I, II, or III).
- You have not had radiation or previous surgery on either breast.
- You do not smoke or have certain conditions like keloids, infections, or immune system problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early-phase trial compares zinc oxide ointment versus petroleum jelly to help healing and scar appearance after certain skin surgeries. You might be able to join if you are having a suitable, uninfected, non-scalp skin incision and can use the study ointment.
This study tests if a special scar gel (ChitoCare Medical) helps breast reduction or mastopexy scars heal better. Women who have had surgery on both breasts and have not yet started scar treatment may join.
This study tests if a special wound dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps healing after breast reduction surgery. It may reduce scarring and improve recovery for women having this specific type of breast reduction.
This trial tests a special gel designed to prevent raised, thick scars (hypertrophic scars) after surgery or injury. If you have a new scar from a C-section, breast implant, or clean cut, this study may help reduce scarring.
This study looks at whether a specific dressing technique (“tie-over bolster”) leads to better cosmetic results after certain head or neck surgeries. You may benefit if your surgeon plans a skin wound that can be closed and you can return for follow-up visits.
This study compares two types of breast-conserving surgery that also reshape the breast (oncoplastic surgery). One method uses a smaller scar, the other a larger scar (Wise pattern). The goal is to find which gives better results for women with larger or sagging breasts.
