Intraoperative view of an African American patient who underwent bilateral DIEP reconstruction with prior radiation on the right chest and donor-site closure with B-PTS and no drains. The 2 catheters in the right lower quadrant are On-Q pain pump catheters. Note that some small surface contour irregularities and dimpling can occur where the B-PTS suture is more superficial but resolves without intervention once the suture is absorbed.
