Eli5:Why are mastectomy scars so large?
In: 0
Removal of the breast means essentially removing a big chunk of flesh- depending on the basic size of the breast before surgery, there’s going to be a hole there, and it’s going to be at least as wide as the breast was.
Depending on how much tissue had to be removed, there could be a sizeable wound left that will create a pretty big scar.
