Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of circumferential thigh liposuction with three incisions in thigh.
Methods:From April 2017 to October 2018, 31 patients received circumferential thigh liposuction with three incisions. All patients were females at 17-42 years old, with the mean age of 25.6± 0.8 years. An incision was designed in the pubic area, two in right and left inferior gluteal folds respectively. After injecting tumescent liquid into operation area, blunt and bent cannulas with 2.5-3.5 mm in diameter and 20-45 cm in length were used to extract deep subcutaneous fat, but 0.5 cm thick subcutaneous superficial fat was preserved. Elastic pants were dressed for 3 months after surgery. The thigh contour improvement was evaluated by the patients and 2 doctors.
Results:All the patients recovered uneventfully, without complications of fat embolism or infection. Satisfaction ratios of overall thigh and inner thigh contour increased from 81.7% to 80.6%, evaluated by patients. Ten patients completed postoperative outpatient revisit after 2 months. Satisfaction ratios of overall thigh and inner thigh contour increased from 80% to 75%, evaluated by doctors.
Conclusion:Three-incision circumferential thigh liposuction is an effective method in thigh contouring with concealed incision scar.
