Can a simple gauze patch make surgical scars less visible?

NCT ID NCT05758168

Summary

This study is testing if a special gauze dressing, called a tie-over bolster, can help reduce scarring after surgery on the head or face. Researchers will stitch a wound normally, then apply the dressing over only half of it to compare the results. The goal is to see if the side with the extra dressing heals with a less noticeable scar.
