Will I have scars after a breast augmentation?
While breast augmentation does involve incisions, resulting in scars, some surgical techniques are designed to minimize their visibility, and your surgeon will discuss scar placement options, post-operative care, and techniques such as hidden incisions or placement within natural creases to ensure the most favorable aesthetic outcome and help you achieve your desired results with minimal scarring.
