New study tests trick to make surgery scars less noticeable
NCT ID NCT05758181
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a way to possibly reduce scarring after surgery on the neck, trunk, arms, or legs. The technique, called "undermining," involves loosening the skin near the wound tips to reduce tension. Half of each wound will get this extra step, and the other half will not, so doctors can compare the final scar appearance. The goal is to see if this simple change leads to better-looking scars.
