Medial thigh lift is a relatively common procedure, but there are possible inherent problems due to the location of the scar. Since the scar is located near the groin crease, there is a lot of bacteria, a lot of motion due to walking, a lot of tension due to the nature of this surgery tightening the skin and pulling against gravity, and of course the increased tension on the scar due to sitting or any bending of the hips.
It is a set up for problems. However, fortunately, most patients do very well. But, when I do this procedure, I have very strict instructions that I give patients to follow.
