Abstract

A new technique for the correction of trochanteric bulges is described. A buried dermal fat flap is used as a suspensory mechanism to hang the weight of the thigh skin and subcutaneous tissues on the deep fascia, rather than on the upper skin flap. This technique is particularly applicable to patients with asymmetry of the buttocks and thighs as well as those with ptosis of the buttocks. Another advantage is that it creates a new gluteal fold at a predetermined higher level.
