Schematic diagram of the measurement of supracutaneous height. A hypertrophic scar in the right chest from a 23-year-old male patient. (a) The gross view and position of probe. (b) “ + ” represents the connection of the epidermal layer on both side; “ × ” represents the thickness of the scar; “Υ” represents the supracutaneous height of the scar. The intradermal height of the scar is calculated by subtracting the supracutaneous height from the thickness. (c) Artery found in the central part of the scar. (d) The SWE image of the scar.
