Abstract
The use of dermal micrografts to camouflage cleft lip scars is a simple and effective method. We have used dermal micrografts, some hair-bearing, to camouflage hypopigmented scars in 10 patients. This method improves the color of the scar, corrects wound distortion and direction to a certain degree, and enables the resultant scar to blend into the adjacent tissue more naturally. Unlike with other methods of scar revision, additional tissue is not sacrificed and new incision lines are not created.
