01Overview
"Removal of benign breast lesions — fibroadenomas, cysts and nodules — is performed when they grow, become painful, or when histological confirmation is needed. Plastic surgeon Maruf Muradovich performs the operation with the aesthetic outcome in mind: the approach is planned so the scar remains minimally visible and breast shape is preserved. Removed tissue is sent for histological examination."

Scar progression

How the scar changes — from surgery to final result

Scars are placed within natural skin folds and become virtually unnoticeable over time. Proper care and sun protection speed up the fading process. For most patients, the scar blends with the surrounding skin within 12–18 months.

01
Wk 2–3

Suture removal

The scar is pink-red and slightly raised. Scar care begins — silicone gel or tape.

02
Mo 1–3

Active healing

Colour darkens to deep pink. The scar may thicken — this is normal. Avoid sun exposure and wear compression garments.

03
Mo 3–6

Maturation

The scar lightens, softens, and flattens. Itching and heightened sensitivity fade.

04
Mo 12–18

Final appearance

The scar takes on a silvery-beige tone and becomes barely visible, aligning with underwear lines.
