Dr. Costa performs surgical augmentation with a lift, so all incisions are as small and thin as possible. He does his best to make incisions where they are difficult to see. Two examples of this are incisions in the folds of the breast or on the border of the areola. If you properly care for them, the scars created by your breast surgery will eventually lighten and will blend more with your natural skin. Dr. Costa or someone on his team will talk to you about the scar care instructions you need to follow after your procedure to help your incisions heal smooth and flat.
