The scars are big (mine at least) - a central vertical one from nipple height to level with hip bones. There it meets a horizontal one that goes from hip bone to hip bone. And there is a circle around my navel (where it was cut out, put in a kidney bowl and left while they removed the front of my torso, zipped it back up like a jacket and then cut out a new little circle in which to replace the navel...bit weird, that).
The scars are only very thin though and they've faded. That and familiarity means that neither I nor my wife don't really notice they're there any more.
