Puntos clave

To evaluate the effectiveness of the DATE technique in minimizing late scar widening in young adults.
Conducted a prospective clinical study with young adult participants
Compared the DATE technique to standard fusiform approach
Assessed scar width as an outcome measure
DATE technique resulted in significantly narrower scars compared to the fusiform approach
The technique is considered safe and cost-effective
It meets the aesthetic expectations of young adults

Resumen

DATE is a safe, reproducible, and cost-effective technique. In young adults with high aesthetic expectations, it led to significantly narrower scars than the standard fusiform approach and may represent the preferred option for dorsal excisions.
