They randomly divided into an experimental group control group, 20 each group. The received traditional elastic garment therapy, while used designed prevention. Scar width, hypertrophy, Vancouver Scale (VSS) scores compared between two groups 6 months post-operation. Results: There no statistically significant differences terms gender, age, disease duration, lesion area, or location (P > 0.05). However, VSS (except pliability) significantly lower than those < Conclusion: is more effective garments preventing hypertrophy after wall surgery, it has high clinical value, making worthy promotion.
