Scars are part of all surgery. It is important to understand where thigh lift scars will be placed. The lateral and anterior thigh lift scar extends from just above the pubic hair as an upward curve (smile) toward the upper hipbones and onto the back meeting at the midline just above the buttocks crease. These thigh lifts are usually combined with a tummy tuck which is known as a belt lift. The inner thigh lift scars are placed in the groin adjacent to the labia or scrotum. The length of the scar is determined by how much extra skin is present. These can be covered with clothing. I try to keep the scars in the areas covered by a two piece bathing suit bottom. However, fashion always offers bathing suits that may reveal some of the scar.
