title: [Wound healing, scar formation and the timing of the correction].
abstract: An account is given of the histopathological mechanisms of wound healing, before additional factors of influence on cicatrisation are described. Also described is the spectrum of scar patterns, from hairline to keloid. Considerations on proper timing of scar revision and on the age of the patient best suitable for surgical correction have led to the conclusion: the later the intervention, the better the results.
