Will I Have a Scar if I Undergo Breast Augmentation?

Many woman desire fuller or larger breasts. Whether Mother Nature did not bless them with large breasts or their breasts changed as they aged or after having children, breast augmentation can give them the breasts they have wanted. But before undergoing surgery, many women are concerned about how their breasts will look after the procedure. One of the most common questions asked is whether they will have a noticeable scar from their breast augmentation surgery.

The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no. Will they have a scar? Yes. Any time there is an incision made into the skin, scar tissue forms. However, whether the scar will be noticeable is the key point. That will depend on the talent and experience of the plastic surgeon.

There is a specialized method in breast augmentation called the invisible scar technique or IST. This technique is only performed by the most skilled plastic surgeons, but it can be very effective at hiding the scar from breast augmentation. the IST breast augmentation procedure uses tiny incisions near the areola to access the breast muscle and fascia tissue. This is where the breast implant is inserted and positioned, usually behind the breast muscle for natural results if the surgeon has the right expertise. A talented breast augmentation surgeon who uses the IST can also ensure the incisions are almost invisible when they heal.

If you are considering breast augmentation, but want to ensure you will not have a visible scar, find an experienced plastic surgeon that uses the invisible scar technique. Experience and expertise are very important in this specialized procedure to get the results that you desire.
