Abstract.
Study of the thigh's lateral skin (``saddle bags'') in cadavers made it possible to evaluate its regional characteristics. Sex or race were not reported but the age group most appropriate to liposuction was considered. In this way, authors believed that as per standards established at the time, results as to the skin retraction in liposuction, will be able to be analyzed in a comparative way in the future.
