    BackgroundA full-thickness skin graft is often performed by tie-over dressing to compress and immobilize it.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the results of a full-thickness skin graft with tie-over dressing performed with the classic technique and with simple dressing.Methods And MaterialsThis was a prospective study in which 25 patients had tulle gras jelly tie-over dressing and 25 patients had a simple tulle gras dressing after full-thickness skin graft for nipple areola reconstruction.ResultsGraft success on the fifth day was evaluated at 100% for patients with a simple dressing and at 99% for those with tie-over dressing.ConclusionsIn this study, simple dressing appeared to be at least as effective as the tie-over dressing. Simple dressing, however, was faster and left fewer residual marks than the tie-over dressing.
