Fascio-fascial suspension technique in medial thigh lifts.

Redundant thigh tissue can be corrected by the thigh lift. However, this is a seldomly used procedure because of postoperative problems such as inferiorly displaced and wide scars, vulvar distortion, and early recurrence of ptosis. In order to limit these complications, we developed a deep anchoring technique based on the overlap of the adductor longus and gracilis fasciae. A group of 18 patients underwent a medial thigh lift using this technique and were followed for at least 12 months after surgery. The fascio-fascial suspension gives strong vertical support with minimal tension on the skin, thereby reducing the complications traditionally associated with this procedure.
