Post-Surgical Scars:

Post-surgical scars are a type of mark that is formed on your skin after you undergo a surgical procedure. They are a part of the natural healing process. When your skin and the underlying tissues are cut during the surgery, your body begins to repair the wounds by producing a protein (collagen) that assists in closing and strengthening the area. After this healing process, there is usually a mark left behind known as a “scar.”

The appearance of post-surgical scars depends on multiple factors, such as:
