Here is a link on a still image from gameplay where we can see no scar on a chest http://gamercheese.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/the-phantom-pain.jpg and picture form peace walker http://images.eurogamer.net/tv/1/2/1/6/5/7/video_994.jpg. I want an answer from Kojima he is trolling again. Quoting from Big Boss' wiki page, also it was confirmed in Peace Walker somewhere that the scar is fake, so it's logical he doesn't have it

"In the early 1970s, Big Boss received a snake-shaped scar across his chest, similar to that of his mentor, The Boss. Although its appearance suggested that it was self-inflicted, the scar was actually a fake, and was used to store a jigsaw on his person in case he needed it in an emergency situation. Nevertheless, the shape and placement of the scar served as a visual testament to Big Boss's passion, and even obsession, with The Boss."

It was confirmed in Peace Walker. I'll even cite where it was confirmed: You have to escape the brig with the Jigsaw instead of the card and complete the level. Miller will then comment on the Jigsaw and the scar, citing the latter as being "a copy" of The Boss's wound.
