Gemma's scar

I just started watching the show recently, only about a third of the way through Season 2, so please don't spoil anything for me.

Gemma has a very noticeable scar in the middle of her chest. Because of how clear it is, and the location, I'm guessing it wasn't part of breast augmentation surgery. I'm just curious - does the scar ever get explained, or is it just a minor mystery? Again, just looking for a simple yes or no answer as to whether it gets explained, not looking for the explanation at this point.

She had an open heart surgery

Gemma did, or Katey Sagal did?

Gemma. A congenital heart defect.

It already has been explained - the surgery than Abel had to have at the start of series 1 was linked to a hereditary heart issue and at some point during that storyline Gemma mentions she had the same thing. I always interpreted a second meaning which is that her emotional core (her heart) is also damaged/broken.

If I remember correctly, it was explained in the first season very early on. Pay attention, boyo!

It was esplained in the first season that heart defects run in the family. Gemma mentioned Jax and Jax's younger brother being born with the same issues.
