The collagen fibers of the dermis are arranged in a disordered fashion, producing a poor quality tissue, which is characterized by to have volume and usually being annoying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>hypertrophic scar<\/strong> has an excessive volume over that necessary to repair the tissue, but doesn&#8217;t exceed the limits of the wound.
