The advanced surgical techniques applied by our surgeons are designed to minimise visible scarring. The long horizontal scarline is rarely fine and never invisible but is usually placed low enough to be hidden by more modest two piece bathing costumes but not by some modern bathing costumes. Any scarring will fade over time albeit there is some personal variation. Patients can help their healing and scars by avoiding overactivity and straining for 3 to 4 weeks. The use of Hyper Heal and Silicone sheets has proven results in healing scars.
