This study introduces a surgical technique using asymmetrical lenticular excisions to create predictable, curvilinear scars. This method is ideal for excising facial skin tumors while prioritizing aesthetic outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatologic Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Facial skin tumor excisions can result in noticeable scarring.
  • Achieving optimal aesthetic results alongside complete tumor removal is a surgical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for predictable scar formation.
  • To improve aesthetic outcomes in facial skin tumor excisions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing asymmetrical lenticular excisions.
  • Applying the technique for skin tumor removal on the cheeks and near the lips' corners.

Main Results:

  • The technique allows for predictable curvilinear scar formation.
  • Facilitates aesthetically pleasing scar placement in challenging facial areas.
