Although scars will be present, most patients believe they are worth it due to the significant health and lifestyle benefits of having breasts that are in proportion to their physique. The scars are situated around the areolae of the nipple and under the breasts and usually become less visible over 6-12 months, especially if you comply with post surgery scar management instructions. There are however a small number of patients that have a tendency to develop thick scars which will not fade as well over time.
