How To Reduce The Chances Of Breast Augmentation Scars

There are ways to minimize scarring, even before getting your breast implant procedure.

One of the best ways to prevent scarring is by picking the right surgeon. A well-executed surgical technique will give you an excellent appearance, void or with little scars.

Another option is to understand where the incisions of your breast augmentation are going to be placed. When it comes to breast augmentations, you'll find scars in a place where you'd least expect them.

Therefore, research beforehand to know if you're okay with where the scars are to appear post-procedure.

Finally, make sure that you're following your surgeon's post-operative instructions to ensure proper recovery.

Where Do These Breast Implants Scars Appear?

Incisions are placed in the area with less tension during the healing process and your daily routine—tension when healing causes scars to widen.

The size of scars as well depends on the size of your implants and their material.

Here are the most common areas for scars to appear:

• Inframammary incisions are put on the breast near the crease.
• Periareolar incisions are placed around the areola.
• Transareolar incisions are placed through the areola around the nipple.
• Transxillary incisions are placed on the armpit.

How Will The Scars Looks Like With Time?

If you've undergone a San Diego breast implant, the scars will be red and pronounced for about a year. Over time, they'll turn into thin white lines.

Breast scar healing is influenced by:

• Age
• Genetics
• Sun damage
• Skin laxity
• Skin tone
• Length of the incisions
• Depth of the incisions
