Abstract:
Adolescence is defined as the period extending from puberty to adulthood, the limit of which is difficult to determine. It is a delicate period, in which the distancing from one's own body image can have deleterious consequences on psychological development and social-emotional life.

There are specificities to manage, in relation to surgical indications, resection volume, postoperative follow-up and cutaneous healing.
