Will My Surgery Leave A Scar?

Q: Will my surgery leave a scar?

A: The question is not whether surgery will leave a scar, as every incision does, by how significant will that scar be.

There are a wide number of factors that influence the appearance of an incisional scar from how the incision was made, what was done through that incision, the technique of wound closure and the skill of the surgeon doing it, skin type and pigment and where on the body was the incision located.

Scars shold never be considered invisible, just at well levek of inconspicuous will it be.
