Overview
Significant progress has been made in the knowledge of aesthetic body abnormalities in the elderly over the last 15 years, resulting in novel body lift designs based on current surgical concepts. Multiple parts of the trunk and thighs are typically involved in body shape abnormalities.
In these individuals, the optimum surgical strategy addresses the complete circumferential trunk and thigh aesthetic unit in one or two stages. Lower-body lifts involve a circumferential bikini-line incision to raise relaxed trunk and thigh tissues at the same time.
