How to design the incision properly for hypertrophic scar resection

The best way to deal with hypertrophic scars is to remove these scars, but you must be careful when performing hypertrophic scar removal surgery, because once the hypertrophic scar removal surgery is not handled well, it may lead to another scar. The emergence of plastic surgeons requires plastic surgeons to design the incision well before hypertrophic scar resection.

Method/Steps

Choose hidden areas, such as under the breasts, hairy areas, etc.

Incision along the contour lines, such as nasolabial fold, anterior axillary line, etc.

Incision along the skin lines, such as on the forehead, eyelids, etc.

In natural junctions, such as the ear-neck junction.

The incisions of the limbs should be made at the flexion fold lines or parallel to the skin tension lines, and avoid making circular circular incisions or incisions across the joint surfaces.

For temporal or cervical surgery, the hairline area is chosen.

Avoid arc-shaped, semi-circular or large "Z" or "S" shaped incisions on the face.

Avoid making circular incisions around the external opening of the body cavity.

If the incision must cross the contour line or skin lines, design a "Z" modified incision.
