Where are the scars for breast reconstruction?

0

You will have scars at two sites – on the chest wall where the new breast has been created, and at the donor site if your own tissue is being used. When the donor site is the tummy, the scars are very similar to someone who has had a tummy-tuck procedure. The scars will be raised and red initially but will fade to a pale colour in most women within six to 12 months.
