Lifting’s scars are invisible: some of them are hidden in the scalp, while some others, in front or behind the ears. Mammary Prosthesis leaves a half-moon, almost invisible, scar on the areola. As regards Pexy and Breast Reduction, scars are left on the areola, a vertical one and, sometimes, a horizontal one. Abdominal Dermolipectomy leaves a scar on the lower part of the abdomen.
