Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Trichophytic closure upper edge trimming

'Trichophytic closure technique' can be done by trimming upper or lower wound edge for about 1 millimeter (as Fig.1) before wound closure. Then the linear scar will be less visible after hair growth. Anyway, there is no exactly wound edge (upper, lower or both) that recommended for the excellent cosmetic results without any severe side effects. Therefore, this study was designed to determine which is the best trichophytic closure technique.

PROCEDURE

Trichophytic closure lower edge trimming

'Trichophytic closure technique' can be done by trimming upper or lower wound edge for about 1 millimeter (as Fig.1) before wound closure. Then the linear scar will be less visible after hair growth. Anyway, there is no exactly wound edge (upper, lower or both) that recommended for the excellent cosmetic results without any severe side effects. Therefore, this study was designed to determine which is the best trichophytic closure technique.

PROCEDURE

Trichophytic closure both edge trimming

'Trichophytic closure technique' can be done by trimming upper and lower wound edge for about 0.5 millimeter (as Fig.1) before wound closure. Then the linear scar will be less visible after hair growth. Anyway, there is no exactly wound edge (upper, lower or both) that recommended for the excellent cosmetic results without any severe side effects. Therefore, this study was designed to determine which is the best trichophytic closure technique.
