Face plays the most crucial part in defining personality and anything that hampers the facial esthetics foists a great amount of psychological impact. Hence, it is extremely important to manage the facial injuries efficiently and consider all the three elements of recovery, i.e., psychological, medical and esthetics. Purpose-To evaluate the efficacy of silicone gel in healing of lacerated wounds on face.
A sample size of 44 patients in each group undergoing suturing of contused lacerated wound (CLW) was calculated with P-67, q-52 and l-10 Using Formula, = 4/2 using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23. Patients were divided into two groups, Group A and Group B where Group A was study group who applied silicone over sutured wounds, while Group B was control group who did not applied any gel.
In silicone group, a significant difference was observed between 7th day and 30th, 60th, 90th and 120th day in healing scores, while in non-silicone group, no significant difference was observed at the initial period. However, difference started to appear from 90th day and continued till 120th day.
Silicone gel has considerable effect in healing of wound and prevention of unesthetic scarring when it is applied immediately from the day of suture removal and continued till 3 months.
面部在塑造个性方面起着至关重要的作用，任何妨碍面部美观的因素都会带来巨大的心理影响。因此，有效处理面部损伤并兼顾恢复的三个要素，即心理、医学和美学，极其重要。目的——评估硅胶凝胶对面部撕裂伤愈合的疗效。
使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）23版公式 = 4/2，计算每组44例接受挫伤性撕裂伤（CLW）缝合患者的样本量，P = 67，q = 52，l = 10。患者分为两组，A组和B组，其中A组为研究组，在缝合伤口上涂抹硅胶，而B组为对照组，不涂抹任何凝胶。
在硅胶组中，愈合评分在第7天与第30天、60天、90天和120天之间观察到显著差异，而在非硅胶组中，初期未观察到显著差异。然而，差异从第90天开始出现并持续到第120天。
从拆线当天立即开始涂抹硅胶凝胶并持续3个月，对伤口愈合和预防不美观的瘢痕形成有显著效果。
