Abstract

The quality of a surgical scar depends on many local and general factors. The combination of different treatment methods is necessary to obtain better results, and to avoid unsightly scars that can affect the quality of life of the patient. Surgical revision of enlarged hypertrophic scars gives good results, but there is always a risk of recurrence and enlargement during the first 6 months, especially in areas subject to movement, which is why it is interesting to act early and to combine several treatments. More recently, botulinum toxin has been attributed as an interesting treatment that allows the improvement and prevention of pathological scars
