Should medial thigh lift scars stretch so much and be so visible? Can they be fixed?

Thank you for your question regarding whether medial thigh lift scars should stretch so much and be visible and if they can be fixed. Thank you for your history. It isn't easy to answer without pictures. Unfortunately, you cannot upload them. I assume you had a crescent medial thigh lift. During a crescent medial thigh lift, an incision is made high in the groin, and a crescent area of skin and fat is removed from the thigh. This lifts the inner thigh. Fortunately, many plastic surgeons do not realize the risks and do not anchor the flap appropriately to the underlying bone. The crescent thigh lift must be anchored to solid tissue instead of pulling on neighboring soft tissue. If the scar is not anchored, sca,r will drift down the inner thigh, leaving scar visibility and labial spread. Usually, these can be revised. More extreme cases cannot. You must seek a board-certified plastic surgeon. A revision crescent thigh plasty might be performed by lifting the scar and anchoring it to the pelvic skin. Good luck. I hope I answered your question regarding whether medial thigh lift scars should stretch so much and be visible and if they can be fixed.
Sincerely,
