Scars | Funnel chest OP

Scars

The scars, especially with open surgical techniques, are often larger and remain visible. When an implant is inserted, the incision is about seven centimeters in size, leaving a scar that is not too large. With the minimally invasive method according to Nuss, the operation scars are on the sides of the chest and therefore not so conspicuous, and they are also much smaller than with the open method. In any case, patients should take care of the operation wounds well, do not expose them to the sun in the first time and if there are signs of inflammation, consult a doctor as soon as possible so that the operation wound can heal as well as possible.
