You don’t need to worry too much about scarring. Modern techniques place incisions in discreet areas such as under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit. With proper aftercare and the use of silicone gels or laser treatments if needed, scars usually fade significantly and become barely noticeable over time.
