How visible is the scar?
Dr Stradwick uses a 4cm scar unless a larger than normal implant is selected. Where possible the peri-areolar incision is used because Dr Stradwick believes this is the best location for concealing a poor scar. Alternatively an incision beneath the breast can be required particularly for teardrop implants and large round implants where the nipple is small. This scar is concealed when standing but may be visible when lying down. For further information on scars, their treatment and Dr Stradwick’s special techniques for scar minimization click here.
