Thank you for your question regarding an unattractive thigh lift scar associated with thigh lift swelling and redness. You must follow up with your chosen plastic surgeon; it sounds like you have a recurrent seroma. Since it is red and hot to the touch, it may be an abscess (pocket of pus) or skin infection (cellulitis). You must heal entirely from your initial surgery before any scar revision can be contemplated. Before undergoing scar revision, I would ensure all your scars are entirely sealed and healed and not sensitive to the touch. In addition, I would give you at least 8-6 months before considering scar revision. Scar revision can be a multitude of things. Micro-needling, dermabrasion, injection of steroids, injection of 5FU, and Morpheus8, to name a few. Surgical interventions to improve the scars can be W-plasty, Z-plasty, and even frank direct excision of the scar. I would hate until everything is healed and then consider scar revision later. At this point, you must follow up with your chosen plastic surgeon regarding your scar that is hot to touch and perhaps an undrained seroma or abscess.
