Hi there, 

I had this reconstruction type last December. I think it's fair to say that the scaring on the breast will depend on where they have to access to remove the tumour(s). I had dcis and two tumours lower quadrant and my breast scar is around my nipple (which was removed) and one scar central on the breast out from where my nipple was. To be fair tue breast scars have healed well, especially as I unexpectedly needed radiotherapy afterwards. The tumny scar is almost hip to hip

and of course I have scarring around my new belly button which looks like a heart shape - aww. Seriously the scaring fades, especially if you use bio oil or the like. 

I hope that helps.

Thank you Mickey. It's really great to hear other peoples advice and experiences. It sounds like all has gone well for you and  hopefully you are all clear. I had DCIS removed 3 years ago so have a small scar running down from my nipple. As I'm having the surgery to hopefully prevent any further cancer the removal of the tumour thankfully isn't a consideration. I already have an abdominal scar from previous surgery so I'm hoping that doesn't prevent me from moving forward. It's a long process which I'm realising is different for everyone. 
 

love the idea of the heart shaped bellybutton

Take care x

Best of luck with it. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
