Summary

This study aims to investigate whether the spacing of the interrupted cutaneous sutures affects surgical wound cosmesis on the face and neck. In other words, the investigators would like to determine which of the following yields a more cosmetically appealing scar: many closely approximated sutures or fewer, more widely spaced sutures. The investigators wish to compare the effects of two versus five millimeter spacing between sutures.
