That is a very good point. I had a very small procedure some years ago of about 900 grafts and the tension on my scar was very high post-op, however I had a second procedure about 5-6 months ago with Dr. Rahal of 3340 and it was night and day. There was almost zero tension on my scar post-op and I'll bet it was due to the points you mentioned.
