Summary

It is standard teaching that the top layer of sutures should be placed 3-5mm from the wound edge. However, there is lack of data regarding the most optimal placement of sutures from the wound edge for the best cosmetic outcome. The research team wish to determine if sutures placed closer to the wound edge (2mm) or farther from the wound edge (5mm) makes a difference in the cosmetic outcome of the scar.
