Will I Have Scars from My Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Watch this video by Samuel Shatkin Jr., MD, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Buffalo, NY as he explains the method for concealing scars associated with breast augmentation surgery.

So when I do a breast augmentation, I place the incision underneath the breast in the crease. In most patients, you don’t even see that, even with clothing off. But certainly when you’re wearing clothing or a bathing suit, that would hide the incision, ideally, but the scars will still be there.

Any time we do a surgical procedure, we have to leave a scar. But in the case of the breast augmentation, with silicone implant, the incision is about two inches placed right up underneath the breast. So it’s easily concealed.

”Very professional, courteous office staff. Dr Shatkin and his APP Michelle are excellent. They are personable, confident in what they do and most of all made me feel comfortable during simple procedures and through my surgery. I highly recommend to anyone looking for something as simple as laser treatment, injectables or for any surgical procedure.”
