frequently asked questions

WILL I HAVE A SCAR?

Yes. There will be a scar on your abdomen from the surgery. The open procedure results in a scar from the bottom of the breastbone to the belly button (8 to 12 inches). The laparoscopic operations leave multiple small scars on both sides and in the middle of your abdomen.
