How long until the scars are gone?

lightbulb100
I'm considering getting gynecomastia surgery, but I've noticed that in some "Before and After" pictures, that scars were easily noticed. Do they go away where the "scars" are indented where the surgery was taken place? I know scars are extremely common in surgeries, but is there a method that shows these scars the least? And also, what is the age that you can get this surgery privately (like without telling anyone IE parents/guardians?)
