Medial thigh lift and inferior scar migration

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Options to remove redness and bumps from Thigh Lift and Liposuction?

Here are the pics. Is there anything that can be done to help reduce redness in Thigh Lift scars? The skin seems to be stretched and pulled and it is still not faded to white after two years.

Also I had bad Liposuction on front of thighs that should never have been done at that area, probably. My thighs used to be well rounded but now are flattened in some areas and bumpy on other parts. It's very uneven. I am so sad.

I had had it redone, filled with filler but it's still under filled, uneven. I'll try anything. It was way better before I started. My doc says "work out" the muscles. Thank you!

The correction you have received is probably reasonable given the condition of the skin and the overall dimensions of the thigh. IF you only had a medial thigh lift, you may benefit from a circumferential thigh lift to reduce the lax skin that resulted from your liposuction procedure. This would require re-suspension of the medial thigh skin and could elevate the position of the pigmented skin.
