VISIBLE INCISIONS:

Sometimes necessary for comprehensive procedures, visible incisions are meticulously placed and sutured to minimize scarring.

Pros:

• Allows for extensive surgical modifications.
• Can be minimized with careful suturing and post-op care.

Cons:

• May be noticeable until fully healed and faded.
• Requires diligent aftercare to reduce scarring.

HIDDEN INCISIONS:

Tucked away within natural skin folds or areas like the hairline, these are perfect for subtle enhancements when avoiding visible scars is a top priority

Pros:

• Minimizes visible scarring.
• Can allow for a subtler, more ‘natural look post-op.

Cons:
