[4][5][6][7] The patients have high expectations regarding their body and scar appearance and usually wish to regain a normal skin appearance as soon as possible. 8,9 To reduce the aesthetic impact of surgical scars, guidelines recommend adapting the amount of measures depending on the risk factors for abnormal scar formation and the level of aesthetic concern of each patient.…”
