This is true. Healing by second intention (also called secondary union) happens when wounds are too large to bring the edges together, or when they're irregular, contaminated, or infected. These wounds heal from the bottom up with lots of granulation tissue and wound contraction, resulting in more noticeable scars compared to neat surgical incisions that heal by first intention.
