title: Medial thighplasty, prevention of scar migration, and labial flattening.
abstract: As more people seek body contour surgery spurred on by the media's great interest in suction lipectomy and the seemingly increasing numbers of satisfied patients, we should re-examine an area where results of body contour surgery have been less satisfying, the inner thigh. In those patients whose problem remains skin flabbiness rather than excessive fat, either alone or after successful or partially successful suction lipectomy, an inner-thigh procedure is indicated.
