• Scar outcome is decided the moment the incision is made
• Burning the dermis, crushing tissue, poor blood supply, and excess tension can ruin healing
• The truth about genetics — and how it’s often used to deflect blame
• Why early lasers and steroid injections can backfire
• The only post-op scar routine that consistently helps: pressure + massage + simple silicone
