Thanks for helping with his posting Spex. Yes, he was a really nice fellow. He called thursday, as his wife was having a little trouble removing the stitches, but he emailed Friday that all were out and he was doing well. His biggest trouble is going to be not re-stretching my scar with his INTENSE exercise.

Dr Lindsey,
Any updated photo's on this scar revision? Do you find it benificial to do scar revisions in sections to limit stretchback?

No I don't have any pictures. Almost everyone swears they'll send pics and correspond monthly like I ask, but rarely do people do so. Perhaps Spex has seen some or even the patient himself.
I generally excise all of a scar and close it in 2 or even 3 layers and "typically" that can get a 50% improvement although sometimes its a lot more and sometimes not much improvement. Unfortunately the best predictor of scar outcome is how a person scarred before. And since I wasn't there the first time, its hard to tell if poor technique or patient physiology or both are responsible.
Good question.

I've heard of double layer closures before in the context of split foreheads and brows. With FUT does it spread the tension between the layers so that there is less tension on the skin or epidermis so to speak? I imagine if you could get more tension carried on the inner layer you might get a finer scar?
Completely off topic but just how tough are the USMLEs doc? Scores look terrifyingly high for plastics and orthopedics?
