For example, after a tummy tuck the scar usually sits below the underwear line; in breast surgery it lies in the fold under the breast or around the nipple.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do scars change over time?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first weeks a scar can look red and noticeable. Over time it becomes paler and softer. Scar maturation is a long process that needs patience. Genetics, skin type and individual wound healing affect the result.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What helps a scar heal well?<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Following the aftercare instructions<\/li><li>Protecting the scar from the sun<\/li><li>Not smoking, because smoking impairs wound healing<\/li><li>Using scar care products regularly if your doctor recommends them<\/li><li>Attending your check-ups<\/li><\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can an existing scar be improved?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some scars heal thick, wide or tight. Depending on the scar, different treatment options can be considered, and in some cases surgical scar revision can be planned. A scar cannot be removed completely, but its appearance can be improved.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does aesthetic surgery leave scars?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every surgical incision leaves a scar. The aim is to keep it in natural folds or areas covered by clothing, and as fine as possible.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When does a surgical scar fade?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The colour and thickness of a scar decrease over time; maturation varies between people and can take a long time.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does scar revision remove a scar completely?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. A scar cannot be removed completely, but its appearance can be clearly improved.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does smoking affect scars?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Smoking impairs wound healing and increases the risk of a poorly healed scar.<\/p>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does aesthetic surgery leave scars?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Every surgical incision leaves a scar.
