Abstract
Inselecting scars for treatment, attention be paid not only to the features of the defect as seen objectively but also to the element of the defect most disturbing to the patient. We revised the scar tissues with simple elliptical excision, Z-plasty, modified Z-plasty, W-plasty and hand dermabrasion in varialbe pattern of scars and got the favorable results. The success rate of scar revision usually depends on the patient's subjective judgement. We must inform our patient the limitation of scar revision and importance of postoperative care. The oral and maxillofacial surgeons must resolve the variable scars which re involved in variable operations and traumas.
