    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Body Contouring
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Abdominoplasty techniques are well-established.
    • Increasing demand for lateral hip lifts post-weight loss or for cellulite improvement.
    • Need for refined surgical methods for lateral thigh contouring.

    Observation:

    • Several cases of lateral hip lift requests were observed.
    • Modification of Ted Lockwood's technique was performed.
    • Key modifications included eliminating undermining and deep dermal suturing.

    Findings:

    • The modified technique aims to raise and tighten lateral thigh skin and subcutaneous tissue.
    • Complications were primarily related to scar spreading due to tension.
    • Occasional delayed healing of tense wounds was noted.

    Implications:

    • This modified lateral hip lift offers a potential solution for post-weight loss contouring.
    • Understanding potential complications like scar spreading is crucial for patient counseling.
    • Further research may optimize techniques to mitigate tension-related complications.
