Lower-body lift.

The lower-body lift, designed for patients with multiple lower-body contour deformities, uses a circumferential bikini-line incision to simultaneously lift relaxed trunk and thigh tissues. The author describes 2 lower-body lift procedures, focusing primarily on the high-lateral-tension abdominoplasty with transverse-thigh/buttock lift, which he developed in 1996.
