Lap band Surgery Scars are minimal usually it all depends on if the lap band is put in place by key hole surgery or if they have any major problems you will need to be cut open to place the lap band into position. Below is a typical picture of what you can expect after keyhole lap band surgery has started to heal.



These incisions will leave scars but they are very light on my partner who had lap band surgery over 10 years ago.

The picture above depicts the usual keyhole placement of the lap band, but there have been people who have had major problems during surgery who have ended up with much more scaring than shown. The picture is for illustration purposes only and every lap band procedure will be different depending on the surgeon and the operation. If all goes to plan then you can expect to have scaring similar to what is pictured.
