The incisions made for liposuction are very small (usually less than 0.5cm) and are located near the site where the fat will be removed. These incisions will form scars which will fade over time.To help reduce the appearance of scars, we recommend you protect them from the sun (using high SPF and covering them up when possible), and avoid sunbeds, as the heat and UV rays increase pigment in the scar, making them more noticeable. When signed off by your surgeon, keeping the area moisturised can also help reduce the look and feel of the scar.
