Typical Donor Wound Scar (with Photo)

Can you show me a typical donor wound scar?

Here’s a photo of a typical donor wound scar after a single surgery in a person who heals normally. The scar measures 1mm (in the ruler, each line is 1/2mm). He came in for a second surgery this week and I am hoping that the scar from this week’s procedure will turn out as well today as it did before. The risk of significant scarring (greater than 3mm) is 5% for the first surgery, 10% for the second surgery, and higher still for a third surgery. Usually the combed hair in the back will cover most scars.

I apologize that the photo isn’t perfectly focused, but the scar still shows well here. Click to enlarge.
