Secondary thigh-buttock deformities after classical techniques. Prevention and treatment.
Secondary high-buttock corrections pose difficult problems because of the poor vascularization of certain areas, the limited mobilization of the soft tissue, and the tendency toward poor scar formation. These factors limit the surgical techniques available. The tendency for the deformity to recur may necessitate several corrective procedures. The authors discuss correction of supratrochanteric depressions, trochanteric bulges, scars, contour irregularities, perineal bands, and flat buttocks.
