Thigh lift correction options for keloid scarring & indentation? (Photos)

I think you for your question regarding thigh lift correction options for keloid scarring and indentation. Thank you for your question and the attached pictures. In regards to your scars, I would suggest either injection of Kenalog or 5FU. These can help to flatten the scars. If the steroid injections and the fractional lasers have not significantly improved your scars after about a year then I would suggest surgical excision. In terms of treating the indentation, I would suggest perhaps liposuction and transferring the fat removed during liposuction to the areas of indentation. If you develop cellulite on your hips and the back of your thighs, there are techniques that can transect the cellulite scars. This can be done during the liposuction procedure. There is a specific instrument that I use to cut these cellulite bans in your hips and the back of the legs. Thank you for a question regarding thigh lift correction for keloids, scarring, and indentation.

You can consider scar revision for your hypertrophic scarring. An in person assessment is needed to determine the best way to approach contour concerns. For the cellulite there is an exciting treatment called Aveli which can improve cellulite in this area. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
