Dog ear: an overview of causes and treatment. [Journal Article, Review]
Ann R Coll Surg Engl 2001 Mar; 83(2):136-8.
Dog ear is a term used to describe a characteristic puckering of the skin that can occur after surgical wound closure. Every surgeon practising cutaneous surgery should be conversant with dog ears as they are a common and generally preventable problem. They are significant as they may mar an otherwise excellent aesthetic outcome and may, on occasions, require revisional surgery.
