I’m concerned about scarring after surgery. How visible are the scars on the chest, and are there ways to minimize their appearance over time?

It’s understandable to worry about scarring, but incisions are placed strategically to minimize visibility, usually around the areola and under the breast crease. Over time, scars fade significantly with proper care, use of silicone gels, sun protection, and sometimes laser or microneedling treatments if needed. Most women find that the comfort and confidence they gain far outweigh the minor, fading scars.
