Sumario:We present a novel surgical approach for the revision of deliberate self-harm scars. The isotopic skin graft technique employs the harvest of a thin split-skin graft from the affected area, excision and closure of wide dermal scars with replacement of the graft back onto the harvest site. We present the sequential steps of the surgical technique and a case series of 2 patients treated with our novel approach.
