:"When healing an extensive cutting, stiffness may occur during scar tissue formation and extend into the post-healing period. For a large cutting, it may hamper mobility and be painful. For a small cutting or a surface that does not flex readily (outside shoulder facing, top outside of leg, etc.), the stiffness may be less noticeable."

Stiff scars are present early in the healing process. Scar tissue, especially when relatively young, is harder, stiffer, and less elastic than normal skin. As a result, there can be some restriction in motion with larger pieces.
