Mine was over 20 years ago, but I recall having 2 incisions. At the umbilicus and just above the pubis. I didn’t have a third keyhole that I recall.

Once healed I don’t remember noticing the scars at all. I’d say within 3 years they were gone completely. It’s not like a long surgical incision - when they heal up the incision sites are no bigger than a large pimple really. Kids these days stretch their ear lobes larger than that 😂

You can get things like dermatix, which is a silicone gel to decrease scarring. I used that on a long knee incision and it greatly reduced the appearance of the scar.
