Scars resulting from gynecomastia surgery vary, depending on the approach used and the elasticity of your skin. If your breasts are small and most of the excess breast tissue is fat, your scars will be tiny. If breast tissue needs to be removed from behind your areola, the incision will be placed under the areola. If the areolas are large and need reduction also, then the incision goes all the way around the areola. In rare cases of excessive breast tissue and skin, the scar may be placed in the lower chest crease to remove excess breast tissue. We will teach you how to take care of your incisions and scars to optimize their appearance long term. If your scars are not progressing the way we’d like them to, we have several options available, like Laser Scar Therapy, to ensure your desired outcome.
