Breast augmentation does leave permanent scars at the incision location; however, incisions are placed as inconspicuously as possible. A scar can be hidden in the fold under the breast (inframammary), along the lower edge of the areola (periareolar), or under the armpit (transaxillary). Immediately after your breast augmentation, your scar may appear pink and raised. Over the next several months to a year, your scar will become flatter and lighten in color. Patients utilize scar cream massage and/or gel sheet application on scars to heal with the best possible appearance.
