Scarring? Does it depend on the surgeon?

Hi there,

myself and my friend are both hoping to be booked in for breast surgery later this year. my friend is a bit worried as she has seen scars that go all the way under the boob… whereas i have only known the scar to be small and at the side (almost under armpit)… so… does it depend what surgeon as to what scar u get?

regards

queenie

It probably depends on what size implant you’re having.

You should only have a small scar, but maybe if you go for a much larger implant, they have to make a larger incision?

Sure you’ll get the advise you need on here xx

Queenie – Im 2 weeks post op. My scars are really small infact you can hardly see them they even match my skin tone :bigsmile:

Hi Queenie, I had breast reduction last year and 100% trusted my surgeon. The scarring will depend on the type of procedure you are considering (i.e, an implant or a reduction etc). During my initial consultation, my coordinator at MYA showed me pictures of pre and post operations and the scarring from 2 weeks to 12 months. This gave me a good idea of what to expect and helped with my decision. The consultations are free, really helpful and the coordinators are professional and supportive. One bit of advice I would give regarding scarring if you do go ahead, is to listen to the advice you are given regarding rest following the operation. It is so important that you have complete rest (even if you are not feeling any pain) in order to minimise scar tissue. This really will make a difference to the scar in the end. My op changed my life completely thanks to MYA who really do “make you amazing” !!! Get yourself booked in for a consultation, they wont pressure you at all and its free!

Good luck x

uplift or reductions leave much larger obvious scarring than just implants but a good surgeon will ensure they as small as poss:)

Hiya,
I had 340ccs and the scar was very small. I had them replaced with 700cc’s , the surgeon opened up the same incision but the scar is longer in length now. I would imagine the bigger the implant the bigger the scar but not sure as this was just what I found in my case. Healing well though which I’m pleased about but definately longer by at least another inch . With the 340cc’s the scar was very hidden under the natural crease of my bust but now it has definately moved up slightly with the larger 700cc and I can see it a bit more. I feel it maybe more of the size of CC or proceedure you are having (up lift / Reduction) etc in relation to scarring. Surgeons try to minimise scarring as much as they can but sometimes its not always possible to have hardly visible scars . xxx

Thanks for all your comments ladies. It was implants that the question was referring to but any info is great! I sort of assumed that would be the case ie the bigger the implant, the bigger the scar. And aftercare would def be one to watch for

Thanks again… fingers crossed we can get a consultation and someone can answer our questions fully x
