A member asked:
Has anyone else with the contraceptive implant experienced scarring at the site?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: If you have a tendency for keloids you may develop a scar at the site of the implant. Even without a keloid you may see a small scar where the implant was placed.

Yes: Any implant placement leaves a scar. If it is large and noticeable a scar revision can be done.
