Facial Scars: Do Position and Orientation Matter?

Conclusions: On average, a single well-healed facial scar does not negatively affect first impressions of attractiveness, confidence, or friendliness. Specific scar location and orientation combinations, however, such as a perpendicular scar at the mid-lower eyelid, may result in lower perceived attractiveness, confidence, and friendliness. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Risk, III.
