This patient is a 62 year old woman from Columbus, Ohio who came to The Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery to consult with Dr. Bivik Shah about having a thigh lift done. She had recently lost a large amount of weight and had excess skin on her thighs. She was hoping to get rid of that excess skin. As you can see in her after pictures, which were taken 1 year after surgery, her scars are very nicely hidden and are continuing to heal. The scars after plastic surgery take between 1 to 2 years to look as good as they possibly can.
