“…Kraissl's lines can be considered antimuscular lines [155] and therefore only useful for incisions (for surgical egress) or excisions (of small defects) where the load is low [156] . Striae distensae, a reflection of cellular, fibrillar, hormonal, and mechanical alterations -lines that are implicated in various pathological and physiological conditions --have also been described by authors as a possible alternative while planning surgery [157] . Another problem with all these lines when considered individually is that they seem to differ in different textbooks, and people have not hitherto separated incisional and excisional lines while studying them.…”
