surgical scars
Healed knife traces
Surgical scars are the permanent marks left on the skin after surgical incisions have healed.
They form naturally as the body repairs the wound with fibrous tissue.
The term often appears in medical contexts and body descriptions: The surgical scars from her knee replacement had faded to thin white lines.
Unlike accidental scars, surgical scars typically follow clean, deliberate incision patterns.
