Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Patients will be followed up at the two-week and eight-week postoperative mark where we will use the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) to evaluate and compare wound healing. Additionally, photographs of the scars will be captured to visually assess the healing progression.
