title: Lipectomy of the ilio-lumbosacral region.
abstract: In the past, several techniques for raising the gluteal mass have been described, all of which were based on dermolipectomies of major or minor extension. The main disadvantage of these dermolipectomies is the visible external scar. The author presents his technique for lipectomy of the ilio-lumbosacral region. It is proposed that multiplanar liposuction in this region lengthens the lumbar lordotic curve and results in upward traction on the buttocks, resulting in a more youthful contour of the region. The article describes a series of 98 patients with lipodystrophy of the ilio-lumbosacral area who underwent liposuction of the region and were highly satisfied with the results.
