Postoperative Skin Surface Tension Relaxing in Prevention of Facial Surgical Skin Scarring

Postoperative Skin Surface Tension Relaxing in Prevention of Facial Surgical Skin Scarring: a Single Center, Perspective, Randomly, Controlled Clinical Trial.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early postoperative skin surface reduction in improving scar formation after facial surgery.

Primary measurement: the mean scar width calculated by standard photos with rulers.

Secondary measure: the probability of scar hyperplasia.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The incision is not shorter than 3cm
• Skin type is III/IV
