I'm lucky. I can't see my scar unless I turn sideways, lift my arm and look in a mirror.

I'll be honest I didn't fully appreciate what my surgeon did at the time. She had come in before the radiologist inserted the wires and showed her where and the angle that she wanted them inserted. The radiologist told me it was for cosmetic placement of the scar. It really was the farthest thing from my mind at the time. But, I'm grateful now that I don't have that glaring reminder when I see myself. And yes I've thanked my surgeon.
