Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment in Otolaryngology—Head & Neck Surgery, 3e AB - With advances in the knowledge of wound healing, as well as the development of better materials and techniques, many options have become available in the treatment of patients with unsightly scars. Nevertheless, no technique has been devised to allow for total and permanent elimination of scars.
