Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators hypothesize that everting wound edges while suturing surgical sites will result in more aesthetic scars. Additionally, we also hypothesize that small to moderate wound irregularities present at 3 months will resolve by 6 months after surgery with no intervention
