Using super tension-relieving suture technique combined with W-plasty for facial scar repair: a retrospective comparative study
The combination of the super tension-relieving suture technique and W-plasty is an effective approach for facial scar repair, yielding superior aesthetic and functional results compared to conventional methods. This technique addresses mechanical tension and aligns with natural skin lines, making it a promising option for scar revision in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
