Description
Summary:	Patients with body contour deformities amongst the challenges that plastic surgeons most frequently face. Through the years, many surgical procedures have been developed that attempt to solve many forms of body contour deformities while optimizing the number of surgical stages within safety limits. In one stage, circular lipectomy with lateral thigh and buttock lift and trochanteric liposuction corrects deformities of the abdomen, the lateral thighs, the buttocks, the supra-gluteal area, the lateral supra-gluteal area, leaving only one circular scar that can be covered with a thong. It is performed under epidural anesthesia, requires one or two units of autologous blood, one night in a hospital, and two or three weeks off work. Thirty-nine patients were operated on without any major complications. Results were consistently good and superior to patients' expectations.
