Study Summary

1. Test the ability of botulinum toxin type A, when injected into the surgical incision at the time of surgery, to decrease postoperative scar scores compared to control (normal saline) in a double-blinded randomized control trial. 2. Investigate the mechanism of BTXa effects of scar formation by measuring micro RNA profiles at two time points in the healing process.

Primary Outcome

Two blinded dermatologists will make the objective clinical assessments separately using a modified POSAS Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale v2.0 It includes assessing the vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, and surface area from a scale from 1 to 10. Pliability, which is included in the original scale, will be excluded for this study given the use of photographs for assessment. The scale also includes the patient's opinion of their own scar, which includes pain, pruritis, col
