Scars Take 18 Months to Fully Mature

Thank you for your question and photo. The photo of your posterior thighlift scar looks reasonable for 3 weeks. I agree with your surgeon that it should settle with time. The puckering is due to deep sutures used to reset the fold under the buttock. If It does not faltten out in 3-6 months you should discuss with your surgeon. Scars take 18 months to fully mature to their final state. If a revision is necessary, you should wait until then. Best wishes. more
