Due to the depth of the incision, you should expect to see a scar when your wound is finally healed. The size and number of scars wi11 be determined by the method chosen for the surgery.
Mainly at the umbilicus. All incision leave a scar if larger than about 2 cm.
Any surgery you have will leave a scar. Typically, an appendectomy is done via laparoscopy with several small 1 cm incisions. They typically heal well with just a faint line.
