Can the scarring on my buttocks and thighs be corrected when doing body contouring?

Question

I have scarring where my buttocks meets my thighs from obesity can that be corrected when doing contouring? Breasts too? I have since lost a lot of weight and was hoping those areas could be corrected when it's time to remove excess skin

Dear naltieri,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question, @naltieri. This depends on the location and appearance of the scarring, which can be improved when the volume is different and the skin is not tense. In addition, a surgical plan can be performed to reduce excess skin and correct scarring depending on their location. However, an expert opinion cannot be formed without a thorough assessment. For more information and options tailored specifically to your needs, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Your post is a little vague and hard to assess.

Consider forwarding pictures or talking to a plastic surgeon during an in person consultation.

Best,
