Medial thigh lift revision scars, does it look normal or could it be improved? (Photos)

An in person consultation is needed for the best recommendation, however your submitted photos show widened scars. These can often be improved with a scar revision. The open sores should be evaluated by your surgeon before proceeding with any further revisions. An evaluation of your full legs in a standing, upright position is needed to determine if you are a candidate for further skin and fat reduction.

Thank you for your inquiry, it seems to be keloid scarring what you have, a inner thigh lift revision would help to remove more skin and also scar revision, it is also important to follow up with your post op treatments to help improve scarring like kitocell gel for 2-3 months. I suggest seeking board certified plastic surgeons for further details, best of luck!

Hi teenyshell,

Thank you for your question regarding your medial thigh lift revision scars and whether they look normal or could be improved. Thank you for your history and your pictures. Most plastic surgeons would agree that your medial thigh lift scars fall within the “normal” range of appearances for medial thigh reduction results. Many medial thigh lift scar revisions look similar to your thigh scars. Therefore, your scars do appear to look “normal.” However, most plastic surgeons would also agree that your medial thigh reduction scars could be improved.

Lasers, creams, massages, microneedling, and steroid injections will not significantly improve the inner thigh scars. Most plastic surgeons would agree that surgical excision of the inner thigh scar and re-approximation of the tissue is necessary. A permanent running suture is often used to maintain the scar line integrity for an extended period.

From your limited pictures, it does appear that more inner thigh skin and fat could be removed. A thorough physical examination and better-quality pictures would aid in a more precise analysis. In my opinion, I would consult with your plastic surgeon and inquire about another thigh revision, perhaps utilizing a permanent, subdermal suture.

I hope this post helps to answer your questions regarding your medial thigh lift scar revision: assessing whether the scars look “normal” and exploring whether the inner thigh scars could be improved. Good luck.

Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
