What types of scars occur with liposuction?
There are two types of marks that can remain on the skin after liposuction. One is a true scar, and the other is known as dyschromia with a dark (hyper-pigmented) or light (hypo-pigmented) spot on the skin. Any incision in the skin can result in a scar. Fortunately most of the scars associated with liposuction are either so small that they become virtually invisible or the scar is strategically located on an area of the body where the scar in not easily seen.
