Does Having a Fat Injection Leave You with a Scar

Any time a surgeon makes an incision, it will leave a scar.  In this case, the scar will be quite small and usually can be hidden so it cannot be seen unless you point it out.  Please don;t worry about this aspect of the intended procedure.

Thank you for your question. In preparation for liposuction, a small incision is made into the skin adjacent to the donor area to allow the liposuction cannula to access the subcutanous fat. Anytime an incision is made into skin, a scar results. However, the scar is typically very small (less than 1/4 inch), and the surgeon will often strategically place your incision in a location where the resulting scar will be less conspicuous. Ask your surgeon where he / she intends to place your incision and express any concerns you have regarding the scar. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Yes, liposuction does involve leaving a scar. The scars are hidden in areas of the body to make them less noticable. The scar will only be about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch long. Most patients have no complaints about their scars after liposuction.
