Pec Implants: Will there be any scars?

Question

Is the scarring significant in all cases? Is there anything I can do to reduce scarring?

Stanley Okoro, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. In most cases, the scar for pectoral implants is in the armpit. For post-operative scar management I recommend massage, Biocorneum scar cream and time. Good luck, make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question. There is always scarring with implants, very little in some cases, actually most cases, and progressively depending on the size of implant, skin type, ethnic -genetic background, and closure technique. I hope this helps!

Pectoral implants are placed through an armpit incision.  While the armpit hair is shaved for the surgery, when it grows back, it conceals the scar very nicely.  Generally the scar is quite minimal if the incision is oriented in the direction of the natural folds that occur in the armpit.

Douglas M. Senderoff, MD, FACS · Answer

I perform pectoral augmentation weekly.  I have been very successful at hiding the incision in the arm pit. The scar is completely hidden and the patients are very pleased.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Pectoral implants are placed through small incisions high up in the armpit. While there will be scars, they are fine line in size and well hidden.
