Incision size and location matter a lot to patients. Fortunately, smaller and more concealed incisions are now very possible and very popular. For breast augmentation, face lift, and tummy tuck in the Champaign area, I am able to produce smaller, or more concealed incisions by using the following methods:

Tummy Tuck: Tummy tuck scars are positioned low on the pelvis and can be hidden easily underneath a swimsuit.

Face Lift: Facelift scars are camouflaged along the ear and under the chin—scars blend in with the contours of your face and your hair is not cut, shaved, or altered.

Breast Augmentation: Breast augmentation scars are best concealed by using the breast fold to hide the very small incision.

By taking these very simple approaches to your face lift, tummy tuck or breast augmentation near Champaign, IL, I can minimize the appearance of scars. In addition, protecting your scars from excess sun exposure can allow the scar to fade naturally, becoming almost unnoticeable.

Other options are non-surgical procedures like injectable fillers which require no downtime and no incisions—which means no scars. Scheduling a consultation is one of the best ways to find out which option is right for you. During your consultation, I will discuss your options and explain the process as well as any potential scars involved.
