That's interesting, I didn't know that. It does look so painful now though. I hope it heals up well. Plus that area of the face I think it'll be less noticable than say the cheeks or chin.Originally Posted by CatMom2Wires
Nice neat suture line. The zig zagging is a technique used to make the scar less noticeable. It 'tricks' the eye into not seeing it as a scar!

Has any one talked to you/her about putting vitamin E oil on it once the stitches come out?
Actually, the closure is a common plastic surgical technique called Z-PLASTY, which allows the skin to be stretched along the axis of the incision to cover the defect, re-direct the incision to fall along natural skin folds or skin tension lines, or lengthen contracted scars.Originally Posted by CatMom2Wires
