Miguel Torres undergoes Plastic Surgery to re-repair his Ginormous Gash

Miguel-torres-surgery-1_medium_medium

Miguel Torres underwent plastic surgery yesterday in order to better repair the tomahawk wound to his forehead for Torres' future fighting career.

MMA Mania breaks down what the procedure entails.

The procedure calls for the following steps: 

  1. Reopen the cut down to the bone. 
  2. Cut away on each side of the area to expose fresh skin and matter to work with and provide a very good fit to put the wound back together. 
  3. Perform a four-layer suture, which will close the posterium, the muscle, the dermis and then the epidermis.   

Instead of the 23 total stitches that he received initially, this procedure will see Torres receive more than 100 stitches with small gauge sutures.

Not only will he be able to fight with no worry in the future, but he'll be able to have an acting or modeling career, too.

Mullet and all.

Thank god they saved the mullet!

I kind of thought his original stich job looked a little frankensteinish.
