Scars associated with a Thigh Lift are a fact of life (see all pictures) and just something you have to live with. Applying a topical steroid cream for a few days following surgery can significantly fade scars. If done consistently for about 6 weeks, the scars will fade faster and become much less noticeable. I had initially planned to use scar fading creams that are available, but the cost was too expensive to cover so many scars. I stuck with the antibiotic ointment for the weeks following surgery.

Thigh Lift Scar Revisions
Some patients become unhappy with the appearance of their resulting scars from a Thigh Lift operation and go back to their surgeon for a Thigh Lift Scar Revision. A Scar Revision is an additional surgery performed to improve or reduce the appearance of scars. It may also restore function and correct disfigurement caused by a wound, injury, or prior surgery.
Thigh Lift Bruising & Numbness
Bruising may occur in the surgical area following Thigh Lift and thigh lift surgeries. If bruising develops, it should be gone in 3 to 6 weeks. Numbness, tenderness or firmness around the surgical wound area is common. It may take several months to up to 2 years for normal feeling to return.
Thigh Lift Scars - Update
It has been about 17 months since I had my Thigh Lift. The scars associated with my lateral thigh lift portion of my surgery are still extremely noticeable and look like they will always be that way. If you're concerned about this type of thing, plan on always wearing a t-shirt when you go to the beach.
