    The author considers the evolution equation \[ V_t- F(II,v)= 0, \] \(V_t\) being the normal velocity, \(II\) denoting the second fundamental form of a surface \(S\) with normal \(v\). The function \(F\) is assumed to be uniformly elliptic along the solution surface, Lipschitz in \(v\) and linear in \(II\). The main result of the paper states that a solution surface is regular provided it is sufficiently flat and has density close to \(1\).
