Scars

I was also wondering how many incision scars do doctors typically need for this surgery? Thanks.

i have 5 incision scares 3 of them are the width of my little finger nail and the other 2 about about the width of my index finger! the little ones are just red lines that you have to look for, the other 2 look a bit like burns! one of which is very clean!

good luck

I'm the same as Dange - the largest incision is above my navel and is about 1" long, the only other on that still shows up is on my left side where the drain bag was - it is about 1/2" long and fading fast. I can't even see the other 3 any more.

i didnt have a drain but im thinking that the one insission that is stilll a bit red and looks like a burn is the one that did most of the work for the docs.

My surgeon does it through one incision. It is 1.25 inches (I just measured it) and it is 6 inches down from the bottom of my left breast, start measuring right where the underwire sits straight down from the nipple. That is where the left side starts and it goes to the right 1.25 inches. It has healed well and I doubt you will be able to see it in a year. I have pics from the first day and I will take some tonight and post. I didn't have any drains.
