Any surgery leaves some scarring along the incision line(s). The breast lift incision lines should fade significantly over time, and scarring can be easily concealed beneath a bra or bathing suit top. Certain products like silicone sheeting are also recommended by plastic surgeons to minimize the appearance of scarring.
Dr. Khalil is extremely meticulous when creating the incisions for breast lift surgery. He selects the incision pattern based on the specific patient's anatomy and degree of correction needed.
Where appropriate, Dr. Khalil may limit the incisions around the circumference of the areola, so that scarring blends in with the natural pigment of the skin. If Dr. Khalil needs to create an additional vertical incision down the front of the breast, scarring from this incision usually tends to fade to a very thin, white line. If Dr. Khalil does not make the vertical incision and instead makes a horizontal incision along the breast crease, the scarring is naturally concealed.
