Alternatively, women interested in breast augmentation may select to have incisions made in the arm pits or through the belly button. Regardless of the discreet location of the incisions, scars ultimately appear following breast augmentation surgery. The degree of scarring is usually minimal. Regardless, plastic surgeons focus on minimizing the extent of scarring.
Techniques for Scar Reduction

Other recovery aids such as compression garments or select natural healing remedies that limit swelling help to reduce the appearance of breast augmentation scars.
