%X purpose: to report two new suture techniques for best esthetic skin healing. methods: using the pig skin slices routinely employed for surgical technique training two new types of skin sutures were performed. one defined as inverted or hidden x point suture and other as totally hidden intradermal running suture. the first were performed using 4-0 polypropilene stitch and the intradermal with 4-0 poliglicolic stitch. results: it was confirmed good skin layers union and contention with best esthetic result than observed with the traditional x and intradermal suture techniques. conclusion: macroscopic examination of the hidden x point and totally hidden intra-dermal sutures and centrifuge skin traction confirmed good skin layers union and contention with best esthetic result than observed with the traditional x and intradermal sutures techniques.
