Thigh Lift Scars: Vertical vs. Horizontal

Different Plastic Surgeons with great experience and results often argue the answer to your question. The most important choice is finding the best surgeon (see below link).                        My choice as to whether a vertical scar is needed is on the basis of my exam and where the most excess skin is located. For example if a roll  of skin high up  on the inside of the thigh then a groin scar incision is  preferred, where as if there is circumferential excess from the knee to the groin then a vertical incision is best in my hands

In general I rely on horizontal incisions and I avoid vertical incisions when doing thigh lifts. This usually gives a better cosmetic outcome while adequately addressing loose skin. 

The vertical scar is longer and more noticeable than the medial thigh lift scar.  However, it's difficult to tell you without actually examining you what will give you the best result.
