Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relevant data and aesthetic standards of hip and thigh profile in young females from the central plain area of China, aiming to provide a credible reference for the clinical application. Methods Measurements were made in 551 young healthy females aged 16 to 21 years, including waist circumference, hip circumference, maximum thigh circumference, thigh length and the ratio between thigh length and height. Based on these data, the features of the hip and thigh profile were analyzed. Results Waist circumference, hip circumference, maximum thigh circumference, thigh length and the ratio between thigh length and height were ( 70. 74 ± 5.86 ), ( 87.16 ± 4. 19 ), ( 51.87 ± 3.27 ),(42.35 ±2.38) cm and (26. 1 ± 1.23) %, respectively. The hip and maximum thigh circumference showed significant difference between different height and weight groups. The thigh length and the ratio between thigh length and height were positively correlated with height. Conclusion The parameters of hip and thigh profile in young females from the central plain area are of significant values in providing quantitative references for the plastic surgery and evaluation of the operation,especially in liposuction.
