Abstract:
A technique is presented by which predictable curvilinear scars can be produced by using asymmetrical lenticular excisions. This is particularly useful for the excision of skin tumors of the cheeks and lateral to the commissures of the lips. It must be remembered not to compromise the surgical resection margins in order to achieve the optimal aesthetic result.
