SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) was used to evaluate the scar for pain, itching, color, stiffness, thickness, and appearance compared to their normal skin using a numbered scale. The scale ranges from 7 (no scar) to 70 with higher scores being worse and suggesting a worse scar.
