60 year old female, 110lbs, mini thigh lift 5 months ago, can anyone make suggestions on scar placement? (Photo)

Hi, thanks for your question. Transverse thigh lifts are a bit prone to scar migration and this is something I always advise patients about in advance of surgery. I think its most likely that the incisions were planned to be in the groin crease but skin and scars unfortunately migrate. The surgical scars will fade over the next year or so and this means they will be much more subtle than they are now but i realise that this may not be especially comforting to hear. best wishes Oliver harley plastic Surgeon

the best treatment for scars that are still red is silicone tape. also you scar have migrated a little talk to your surgeon about if a surgical garment will help them stay in the crease or if a minor revision might be indicated in 6-9 months to reposition the scars in the crease.

Hello patsie860, thank you for your question. I am so sorry to hear about your experience! There are some great scar revision treatments available in the non-surgical and minimally-invasive aesthetics world. In our practice, we typically do a combination of Morpheus/Sylfirm RF Microneedling and Laser Resurfacing to help improve scars and have great results. Topical take-home treatments may also be helpful. Be sure to see a provider experienced in these technologies to ensure the best possible outcome. I hope this helps!
