Study Summary
Cutaneous scarring after elective surgery is a concern for surgeons of all types, perhaps even more so to plastic surgeons. Cautery is often used on the "cut" setting to make or extend incisions; however very few studies have looked at the results of these scars. The investigators' study aims are to compare standard scalpel incisions versus cautery incisions and to objectively compare the resultant scars in a prospective, randomized, controlled fashion.
