A thigh lift scar is likely to occur. Because of the location of the procedure, and the fact that it is a surgical, invasive procedure, a scar is likely to occur. However, doctors can position these scares to make them inconspicuous. Many patients are unable to see their own scars and they are not noticeable unless they are being looked for specifically. For those who have this particular procedure performed, the location of the scar is dependent on the type of thigh lift procedure completed. In addition, the scars themselves are minimal in terms of the improvement to the skin that this type of procedure creates.
