Abstract.
This new procedure was created for aesthetic purposes with the intention of creating a longer and more slender waist and at the same time treating neighboring areas. This procedure also is used to raise or change the position of a previous abdominoplasty scar. In addition it is also beneficial for treating gestation sequelae of the torso-abdominal wall, ptosis of the abdomen, vertical and horizontal enlargements of the musculoaponeurotic system, lipodystrophy, stretch marks, rhytidosis of the inguinal region, and ptosis of the external quadrant of the gluteous and the external trochanter area in one surgical procedure. It is not always necessary to apply the entire procedure to each case. The deep planed torso-abdominoplasty offers a broader selection of techniques for creating aesthetic contouring of the torso-abdominal wall, flanks, inguinal region, and outer thighs. It also creates pexy of the external quadrant of the gluteous region.
