Is the incision made from a Fat Transfer a permanent scar?

aesthetics93
I am looking to get a fat transfer, and I know an incision will be made on my abdomen / love handles. Will this incision be a permanent scar? I am a bodybuilder and I do not want any signs of "imperfection" that are visible on my body. Thank you for your response.
