Muscles that Move the Thigh01:20

Muscles that Move the Thigh

The thigh's motion is primarily governed by muscles originating in the pelvic girdle and inserted into the femur. One crucial muscle, the iliopsoas, is a combination of the psoas major and the iliacus muscles, sharing a common insertion point on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
Three other significant muscles are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus originates from the posterior surface of the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, and the thoracolumbar fascia...
Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum01:26

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum

The muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, controlling continence, and aiding in sexual function, childbirth, and core stability. They are typically divided into the superficial perineal layer and the deep pelvic floor layer.
Perineal Layer
The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...
Veins of Lower Limbs01:15

Veins of Lower Limbs

The human body consists of an intricate network of veins responsible for the crucial task of blood drainage from the lower limbs. These veins can be categorized into two main types: deep veins and superficial veins.
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the knee,...
Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and anterior...

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Body Contouring
    • Aesthetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Patients often present with multiple lower-body contour deformities.
    • Existing procedures may not adequately address comprehensive lower-body laxity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe lower-body lift techniques for correcting multiple lower-body contour deformities.
    • To present a specific high-lateral-tension abdominoplasty with transverse-thigh/buttock lift procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes a circumferential bikini-line incision.
    • Simultaneously lifts relaxed trunk and thigh tissues.
    • Focuses on the high-lateral-tension abdominoplasty with transverse-thigh/buttock lift developed in 1996.

    Main Results:

    • The described lower-body lift effectively addresses multiple lower-body contour deformities.
    • The high-lateral-tension abdominoplasty with transverse-thigh/buttock lift offers simultaneous lifting of trunk, thigh, and buttock tissues.

    Conclusions:

    • The lower-body lift is a viable option for patients with significant lower-body laxity and deformities.
    • The high-lateral-tension abdominoplasty with transverse-thigh/buttock lift provides comprehensive lower-body rejuvenation.
