Thigh lift groin scar has dropped 3 years post-op - any advice? (Photos)

Thank you for your question regarding thigh lift groin scar which has dropped three years after surgery. From your pictures, you have undergone what I call a crescent thigh lift. Scar migration and drift are complications of this procedure. To minimize this complication, the scar line needs to be anchored to pelvic periosteum (the outer layer of the pelvic bone). Another potentially bad complication is labial spread. In your case, I would suggest a surgical revision. The incision needs to be used, and the scar needs to be anchored to your pelvic periosteum. This minimizes migration which you have developed even three years after the surgery. During this surgery, the procedure will eliminate excess skin and fat, and some of your visible puckering can be eliminated. Please seek an experienced plastic surgeon who has performed many crescent thigh lifts.

An exam is needed to give a specific recommendation. If laxity has returned you may need a revision to your thigh lift or even a vertical incision on the inner aspect of the thigh to better reduce the laxity. I encourage you to visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you to hear varying opinions.
