After liposuction, visible scarring is usually minimal for both male and female patients. The size of the scars depends on the size of the incisions made and their location on the body. Liposuction incisions are typically small, resulting in small scars (a few millimeters long). Surgeons often place incisions in less visible areas or within natural creases of the body. Even the more visible scars will fade over time.

I position the scars in a way that they are concealed when wearing underwear. Sometimes, I may also use an incision in the belly button. Best regards

Scarring is a normal part of the healing process after surgical intervention. Scar tissue usually matures, softens, and diminishes over time.
