Scar location: The scars from skin removal surgery depends on the location and amount of skin to be removed. The more skin that needs to be removed the longer the scar length will be. Scars are usually hidden in inconspicuous locations - along the panty line, the inner arm, groin, or inner thigh.

Depends on the sites: If you are asking about eyelids or facelifting for excess, the incisions are placed in creases & folds to minimize them. If on abdomen, placement low and under normal undergarment coverage is done. Be more specific and a clear idea can be provided.
