I’m worried about post-surgery scarring and cosmetic appearance. How visible are scars, and are there ways to reduce or treat them over time?

 Scarring is always a concern, and it’s something we take seriously. Incisions are placed along natural lines of the breast or around the areola so that scars remain subtle. With time, they fade beautifully.

My advice is to use silicone gels or scar creams, avoid sun exposure on healing skin, and follow your surgeon’s care tips this ensures scars become barely noticeable within months.
